Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

on the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (Codified version)

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. In the context of a people’s Europe, the Commission attaches great importance to simplifying and clarifying Community law so as to make it clearer and more accessible to the ordinary citizen, thus giving him new opportunities and the chance to make use of the specific rights it gives him.

This aim cannot be achieved so long as numerous provisions that have been amended several times, often quite substantially, remain scattered, so that they must be sought partly in the original instrument and partly in later amending ones. Considerable research work, comparing many different instruments, is thus needed to identify the current rules.

For this reason a codification of rules that have frequently been amended is also essential if Community law is to be clear and transparent.

2. On 1 April 1987 the Commission therefore decided[1] to instruct its staff that all legislative acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement and that departments should endeavour to codify at even shorter intervals the texts for which they are responsible, to ensure that the Community rules are clear and readily understandable.

3. The Conclusions of the Presidency of the Edinburgh European Council (December 1992) confirmed this[2] stressing the importance of codification as it offers certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.

Codification must be undertaken in full compliance with the normal Community legislative procedure.

Given that no changes of substance may be made to the instruments affected by codification , the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.

4. The purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 of 9 October 1990 on the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community[3]. The new Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it[4]; this proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

5. The codification proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation , in all official languages, of Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 and the instruments amending it, carried out by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, by means of a data-processing system . Where the Articles have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in Annex III to the codified Regulation.

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

on the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article Ö 285(1) Õ thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[5],

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty[6],

Whereas:

ê

1. Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 of 9 October 1990 on the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community[7] has been substantially amended several times[8]. In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.

ê 3037/90 Recital 1 (adapted)

2. In order to function, the internal market requires statistical standards applicable to the collection, transmission and publication of national and Community statistics so that undertakings, financial institutions, governments and all other operators in the Ö internal Õ market can be provided with reliable and comparable statistical data.

ê 3037/90 Recital 2

3. Such information is necessary to enable undertakings to assess their competitiveness, and useful to the Community institutions in preventing distortions of competition.

ê 3037/90 Recital 3 (adapted)

4. Only if the Member States use classifications of Ö economic Õ activities linked to the Community classification Ö is Õ it possible to provide integrated information with the reliability, speed, flexibility and degree of detail required for the management of the internal market.

ê 3037/90 Recital 4 (adapted)

5. Provision should be made for the Member States to be able, in order to meet national requirements, to retain or to insert in their national classifications additional subdivisions based on the statistical classification of economic activities in the Community.

ê 3037/90 Recital 5

6. The international compatibility of economic statistics requires that the Member States and the Community institutions use classifications of economic activities which are directly linked to the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC).

ê 3037/90 Recital 7 (adapted)

7. It is vital that the contents of the various categories of the classification of Ö economic Õ activities in the Community be interpreted uniformly in all the Member States.

ê 3037/90 Recital 6 (adapted)

8. Use of the classification of economic activities in the Community requires that the Commission be assisted by the Statistical Programme Committee set up by Ö Council Õ Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom[9] on any issue relating to the application of this Regulation, in particular as regards the interpretation of that classification, minor amendments thereto, the drafting and updating of explanatory notes and the establishment of guidelines for the classification of statistical units in accordance with such classification.

ê

9. The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission[10],

ê 3037/90 (adapted)

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. The purpose of this Regulation is to establish a common statistical classification of economic activities within the Community in order to ensure comparability between national and Community classifications and hence national and Community statistics.

ê 3037/90

2. This Regulation shall apply only to the use of classifications for statistical purposes.

3. This Regulation does not per se oblige Member States to collect, publish or supply data and is not concerned with obligations as regards the degree of detail and type of statistical units to be used in statistical surveys and analyses.

ê 3037/90 (adapted)

Article 2

1. A common basis for statistical classifications of economic activities within the Community, hereinafter referred to as ‘NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ’, is established, comprising:

ê 3037/90

(a) a first level consisting of headings identified by an alphabetical code (sections);

(b) an intermediate level consisting of headings identified by a two-character alphabetical code (subsections);

(c) a second level consisting of headings identified by a two-digit numerical code (divisions);

(d) a third level consisting of headings identified by a three-digit numerical code (groups);

(e) a fourth level consisting of headings identified by a four-digit numerical code (classes).

ê 3037/90 (adapted)

2. NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ is Ö shown in the table set out in Annex I Õ.

Article 3

In the event of incompatibility between certain NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ positions and the national economic structure, the Commission may authorise a Member State to use at a given level an aggregation of NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ positions in a specific sector.

ê 3037/90

To obtain such an authorisation, the Member State concerned must provide the Commission with all the necessary information to consider its request.

ê 3037/90 (adapted)

However, this authorisation shall not entitle the Member State concerned to subdivide the aggregated headings in a way which is different from NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ.

ê 3037/90

The Commission shall, together with the Member State concerned, periodically review the application of these provisions to verify whether they are still justified.

ê 3037/90 (adapted)

Article 4

The Commission shall take the necessary measures to ensure the implementation and management of NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ

Article 5

1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Statistical Programme Committee, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’.

ê 1882/2003 Art. 2 and Annex II pt. 5

2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.

The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.

3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.

ê 3037/90 (adapted)

Article 6

The Commission shall, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, and, after consulting the Committee Ö referred to Õ in Article 5(1), take the necessary steps to ensure the uniform application of NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ.

Article 7

The Committee may examine any questions concerning NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ raised by its chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of the representative of a Member State, which have a bearing on the application of this Regulation, especially as regards:

(a) the interpretation of NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ;

(b) the incorporation of minor amendments to NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ:

(i) designed to take account of technological or economic developments;

(ii) designed to align and clarify texts;

(iii) resulting from amendments made to other economic classifications, in particular ISIC Rev. 3;

(c) the preparation and coordination of work on revising NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ;

(d) the drafting and updating of explanatory notes on NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ;

(e) the elaboration of guidelines for classifying statistical units in accordance with NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ;

(f) the examination of problems arising from the implementation of NACE Rev. 1 Ö .1 Õ in the Member States' classifications of economic activities;

(g) attempting to prepare, as appropriate, a common position concerning the work of international organisations on classifications of economic activities, especially ISIC and its explanatory notes.

The measures to be taken under points (a) to (g) shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure Ö referred to Õ in Article 5(2).

ê

Article 8

Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 is repealed.

References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.

ê 3037/90

Article 9

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
