European Comission - Retail Trade Survey Project I-II-III
Completed project (May 2008 - April 2011)
Origin of funding: European Commission and TEPAV
This was a survey application project funded by the EU Commission through making year-based contracts with TEPAV under the partnership agreement signed before the beginning of the project. According to the mentioned agreement, surveys questionnaires were sent by the Commission at the beginning of the project and surveys have been conducted with 500 retail trade firms in Turkey every month. Number of provinces, distribution of the surveys among provinces and sectors were decided in line with the survey methodology proposed by TEPAV.
Survey implementation was subcontracted to IPSOS-KMG and data entry, field work control, survey evaluation and reporting was conducted by TEPAV. IPSOS-KMG, ensured that all the filled questionnaires were to be sent to TEPAV in a proper and safe manner.
