laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 on the statistics relating to the
tradingofgoodsbetweenMember States
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 of 7
November 1991 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods
between Member States(1), as last amended by European Parliament
and Council Regulation (EC) No 1624/2000(2), and in particular
Article 30 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92(3) laying down
provisions implementing and amending Regulation (EEC) No3330/91, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2535/98(
4),
has been substantially amended on several occasions.
(2)Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2256/92(5), (EC) No 1125/
94(6) and (EC) No 2820/94(7) lay down additional provisions
for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91,
concerning in particular statistical thresholds, deadlines forforwarding results, and threshold values for individual transac-tions in the context of statistics relating to trade betweenMember States.
(3)When further amendments are made to Regulation (EEC) No
3046/92, the relevant regulations should be drawn up in such a
way which lightens the burden on enterprises and administra-tions affected by these regulations.
(4)With a view to establishing the statistics relating to the tradingof goods between Member States, the field of application of theIntrastat system should be precisely defined in relation to boththe goods to be included and those to be excluded.
(5)The date from which the intra-Community operator is in practiceto comply with his obligations to supply information must bedetermined and the extent of the obligations of the third partyto whom the party responsible for providing the informationmay transfer that task should be defined.
(6)Certain rules to be complied with by the departments concernedmust be specified in detail in particular to allow efficient
management of the registers of intra-Community operators.
(7)A key element of the Intrastat system consists in the use of value
added tax information on intra-Community transactions. In orderto ensure that the exhaustiveness of the statistics can be checked,it is appropriate to specify in a restrictive manner the informa-tion which may be passed between the administrative
authorities in the Member States responsible for the application
of laws on value added tax and those responsible for the estab-lishment of statistics relating to the trading of goods betweenMember States.
(8)The burden on intra-Community operators must be lightened asmuch as possible, either by exempting them from statistical obli-gations or by simplifying procedures. This lightening of the2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 2

burden must be limited only by the demands of statistics of a
satisfactory quality, which must consequently be defined. Allthe Member States must have the instruments needed to ensure
quality, while taking into account their own economic and
commercial structure.
(9)There is a need to specify the way in which the thresholds
applying to certain data will be calculated. For the statistical
procedure, this information needs to be distinguished from theprocedure used for the statistical and tax declarations.
(10)Despite the existence of statistical thresholds, there remain
parties responsible for providing information effecting a large
number of low-value transactions who are obliged to communi-cate these in the greatest detail, an obligation which represents aburden out of all proportion to the usefulness of the informationthus obtained. It is necessary to reduce the burden.
(11)A list should be drawn up of the goods to be excluded from thestatistical returns relating to the trading of goods.
(12)The data to be reported and the arrangements for reporting suchdata should be defined in more detail.
(13)Of the units of quantity, net mass, in kilograms, is the main indi-cator and should in principle be mentioned for every type of
goods. However, for certain products, it is not the most appro-
priate unit of measurement. The party responsible for providinginformation should therefore be exempted from indicating netmass in such cases.
(14)Specific movements of goods may account for a substantialshare of the statistics on the trading of goods between MemberStates. The absence of harmonised provisions at Communitylevel is prejudicial to the comparability of statistics betweenMember States. Wherever possible, harmonisation of statistical
legislation in the field of specific movements should be
improved by complying with the relevant international recom-mendations.
(15)In order to ensure that Community statistics on trade between
the Member States are compiled regularly and within a reason-
able time, the Member States must forward their resultsaccording to a common timetable. A distinction must be madebetween overall results and detailed results in order to ensureoptimum satisfaction of user needs and take account of data
collection and processing requirements.
(16)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance
with the opinion of the Committee on the statistics relating tothe trading of goods between Member States,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 3(1) of Council Directive 92/12/EEC(1) regardless of the form
and content of the document accompanying them, when they movebetween the territories of the Member States.
Article 3
1. The Intrastat system shall not apply:
(a) to goods placed or obtained under the inward processing customs
procedure (suspension system) or the procedure of processing undercustoms control;
(b) to goods circulating between parts of the statistical territory of the
Community, at least one of which is not part of the territory of theCommunity pursuant to Council Directive 77/388/EEC(
2).
However, without prejudice to customs regulations, provisions of this
Regulation shall apply to these goods except Articles 2, 4, 5, 8 to 20,24(1), (2) (except indent 3), (3) and (4), and 28, 29, 30 and 47.
2. The Member States shall be responsible for collecting data on the
goods referred to in paragraph 1 on the basis of the customs proceduresapplicable to such goods.
3. If the statistical copy of the Single Administrative Document
containing the data listed in Article 23(1) and (2) of the Basic Regula-tion is not available, the customs departments shall send the relevantstatistical departments a periodic list of those same data by type ofgoods at least once a month, in accordance with the arrangements
agreed upon by the said departments.
CHAPTER 2
INFORMATIONPROVIDERSANDREGISTERS
Article 4
1. Any natural or legal person carrying out an intra-Community
operation for the first time, whether the goods are arriving or being
dispatched, shall become responsible for providing the required infor-
mation within the meaning of Article 20(5) of the Basic Regulation.
2. The party referred to in paragraph 1 shall provide the data on his
intra-Community operations via the periodic declarations referred to in
Article 13 of the Basic Regulation as from the month during which the
assimilation threshold is exceeded, in accordance with the provisionsrelating to the threshold which become applicable to him.
3. When the VAT registration number of a party responsible for
providing the information is amended as a result of a change of owner-ship, name, address, legal status or similar change which does notaffect his intra-Community operations to a significant extent, the ruledefined in paragraph 1 need not be applied to the party in question atthe time of the change. It shall remain subject to the statistical obliga-
tions to which it was subject before the change.
Article 5
1. The third party referred to in Article 9(1) of the Basic Regulation
is hereinafter referred to as ‘the declaring third party’.
2. The declaring third party shall provide the competent national
departments with the following information:
(a) in accordance with Article 6(1), the information necessary:
— to identify himself,2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 4
(1) OJ L 76, 23.3.1992, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 145, 13.6.1977, p. 1.
▼B
— to identify each of the parties responsible for providing the
information who have transferred this task to him;
(b) for each of the parties responsible for providing information, the
data required by the Basic Regulation and in implementationthereof.
Article 6
1. The information necessary to identify an intra-Community
operator within the meaning of Article 10 of the Basic Regulation shallbe the following:
— full name of the person or firm,
— full address including post code,
— under the circumstances laid down in Article 10(6) of the Basic
Regulation, the VAT registration number.
However, the statistical departments referred to in Article 10(1) of the
Basic Regulation may dispense with one or more of the abovemen-
tioned items of information or, under circumstances to be determined
by them, exempt the intra-Community operators from providing them.
In the Member States referred to in Article 10(3) of the Basic Regula-
tion, the information which serves to identify an intra-Communityoperator shall be supplied to the abovementioned statistical depart-
ments by the tax authorities referred to in the said Article as and
when it becomes available to the latter, unless there is an agreementto the contrary between the departments concerned.
2. The minimum list of data to be recorded in the register of intra-
Community operators, within the meaning of Article 10 of the Basic
Regulation, shall contain, for each intra-Community operator, thefollowing:
(a) the year and month of entry in the register;
(b) the information necessary to identify the operator as laid down in
paragraph 1;
(c) where applicable, whether the operator is a party responsible for
providing information or a declaring third party, upon eitherconsignment or receipt;
(d) in the case of a party responsible for providing information, the
total value of his intra-Community operations, by month and by
flow, together with the value referred to in Article 11(3) of the
Basic Regulation. However, this information need not be recordedif the checking of the information recorded as statistics using theinformation referred to in Article 11(3) of the Basic Regulationand the functioning of the statistical thresholds referred to in
Article 28 of the said Regulation are organised separately from
the management of the register of intra-Community operators.
The competent national departments may record other data in the
register in accordance with their requirements.
Article 7
With a view to implementing Article 10(6) of the Basic Regulation, the
case where responsibility for the information, for given operations, liesnot with the operator as a legal entity per sebut with a constituent part
of this entity, such as a branch office, a kind of activity unit or local
unit, may be considered a justified exception.
Article 8
1. In the lists referred to in Article 11(1) of the Basic Regulation,
the tax authorities responsible shall mention intra-Community operators
who, as a result of a scission, merger or cessation of activity during the
period under review, will no longer appear on the said lists.
2. The provision of information of a fiscal nature referred to in
Article 11(4) of the Basic Regulation by a Member State's administra-2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 5

offices which the Member States have set up for this or for otherstatistical or administrative purposes;
(c) for a given reference period, at his discretion:
— either by means of a single declaration, within a time limit
which the competent national departments shall lay down in
their instructions to the parties responsible for providing infor-
mation,
— or by means of several part-declarations. In this case, the
competent national departments may require agreement to bereached with them on the frequency of transmission and dead-
lines, but the last part-declaration must be transmitted within
the time limit laid down under the first indent above.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, a party responsible for
providing information who benefits from exemption by virtue of appli-

States where the periodic statistical declaration is the same as the peri-odic tax declaration, the provisions relating to the transmission of thestatistical declaration shall be drawn up in line with Community or
national tax regulations.
CHAPTER 3
STATISTICALTHRESHOLDSANDEXEMPTIONS
Section 1
Overall functioningofthresholds
Article 10
The Member States shall set annually the assimilation and simplifica-
tion thresholds referred to in Article 28 of the Basic Regulation. They
shall ensure when setting these thresholds that, first, they meet the
quality requirements laid down in this chapter and, secondly, theyexploit to the full the ensuing opportunities to relieve the burden onintra-Community operators.
Article 11
For the purposes of this section:
(a) ‘error’ means the discrepancy between the results obtained with
and without application of the thresholds referred to in Article 10.When a correction procedure is applied to the results obtainedfollowing application of the thresholds, the error is calculated inrelation to the corrected results;2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 6
▼B
(b) ‘total value’ means, for the purposes of threshold adjustment, the
value of either of the outgoing goods or of the incoming goodsaccounted for by intra-Community operators over a 12-month
period, other than those who are exempt under Article 5 of the
Basic Regulation;
(c) ‘coverage’ means, in relation to a given total value, the propor-
tionate value of the outgoing goods or of the incoming goods
accounted for by the intra-Community operators who lie above theassimilation threshold.
Article 12
1. The assimilation thresholds set by the Member States shall meet
the following quality requirements:
( a )R e s ul t sb yg o o d sc a t e g o r y
Each Member State shall ensure that the error in annual values
does not exceed 5 % for 90 % of the eight-digit sub-headings ofthe Combined Nomenclature which represent 0,005 % or more ofthe total value of its outgoing or incoming goods.
However, each Member State may raise this quality requirement up
to the point that the error in annual values does not exceed 5 % for90 % of the eight-digit sub-headings of the Combined Nomencla-ture which represent 0,001 % or more of the total value of its
outgoing or incoming goods.
(b) Results by partner country
Each Member State shall ensure that the error in the annual values
of its results by partner country, excluding countries which repre-sent less than 3 % of the total value of its outgoing or incominggoods, does not exceed 1 %.
2. When a Member State's share of the total value of outgoing or
incoming goods in the Community is less than 3 %, that Member State
may depart from the quality requirements laid down in the first subpar-
agraph of paragraph 1(a). In such cases, the 90 % and 0,005 % sharesshall be replaced by 70 % and 0,01 % respectively.
3. To meet the quality requirements set out in paragraphs 1 and 2,
the Member States shall base the calculation of their thresholds on theresults of trade with the other Member States for 12-month periods
prior to the introduction of the thresholds.
For Member States unable to make this calculation because figures are
incomplete, the assimilation thresholds shall be fixed at a level notlower than the lowest, nor higher than the highest, thresholds set bythe other Member States. However, this provision shall not be bindingfor Member States which are exempt under paragraph 2.
4. If, for certain groups of goods, the application of the thresholds
calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Article yields
results which, mutatis mutandis , fail to meet the quality requirements
set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, and if the thresholds cannot be loweredwithout reducing the relief which Article 10 guarantees to intra-Community operators, appropriate measures may be taken, at the initia-
tive of the Commission or the request of a Member State, in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of the BasicRegulation.
Article 13
1. For the introduction of the simplification thresholds, the Member
States may set these:
— at levels above EUR 100000 pursuant to the first subparagraph of
Article 28(9) of the Basic Regulation, provided that they ensure thatat least 95 % of the total value of their outgoing or incoming goodsis covered by periodic declarations containing all the informationrequired under Article 23 of the Basic Regulation,
— where they are exempt under Article 12(2), at levels below
EUR 100000 pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 28(9)2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 7
▼B
of the Basic Regulation, to the extent necessary to ensure that at
least 95 % of the total value of their outgoing or incoming goodsis covered by periodic declarations containing all the information
required under Article 23 of the Basic Regulation.
2. The party responsible for providing information according to the
simplified rules of Article 28(5) of the Basic Regulation, shall report in
the declaration a maximum of ten of the finest relevant subheadings ofthe Combined Nomenclature that are the most important in terms ofvalue for the period covered by the declaration. For the residualproducts, the code 9950 0000 shall be used.
Article 14
1. For the adjustment of the assimilation thresholds, the quality
requirements specified in Article 12 shall be regarded as met if thecoverage is maintained at the level obtained when the thresholds wereintroduced.
2. The condition laid down in paragraph 1 shall be met if Member
States:
(a) calculate their thresholds for the year following the current year on
the basis of the latest available results for their trade with the other
Member States over a 12-month period, and
(b) set their thresholds at a level which allows the same coverage for
the period thus defined as for the period used as a basis for calcu-lating their thresholds for the current year.
Member States shall notify the Commission if they use a different
method, to meet this condition.
3. Member States may lower their coverage provided that the quality
requirements laid down in Article 12 continue to be met.
4. Member States shall calculate adjustments to their assimilation
thresholds each year. The thresholds shall be adjusted if the adjustmentinvolves a change of at least 10 % in the threshold values for the
current year.
Article 15
1. For the adjustment of the simplification thresholds, the Member
States who set these:
— at levels higher than the values laid down in by Article 28(8) of the
Basic Regulation, shall ensure that the condition laid down in the
first indent of Article 13(1) of this Regulation is met,
— at levels below these values, since they are exempt pursuant to
Article 12(2) above, shall ensure that they comply with the limit
laid down in the second indent of Article 13 of this Regulation.
2. To ensure that the condition referred to in the first indent of
Article 13(1) is met or that the limit referred to in the second indentof Article 13(1) is complied with, it shall be sufficient for MemberStates to calculate the adjustment of the simplification thresholds usingthe method laid down in Article 14(2) for adjusting the assimilationthresholds. Member States shall notify the Commission if they use a
different method.
Article 16
The information relating to the adjustment of assimilation and simplifi-
cation thresholds shall be published not later than 31 October of thepreceding year.
Article 17
1. Parties responsible for providing information shall be freed from
their obligations to the extent allowed by application of the assimila-tion and simplification thresholds set for a given year, provided theyhave not exceeded these thresholds during the previous year.2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 8
▼B
2. For each statistical threshold, the provisions adopted shall apply
for the whole year.
However, if the value of the intra-Community transactions carried out
by a party responsible for providing information at some time duringthe year exceeds the threshold applicable to him, he shall provide infor-mation on his intra-Community transactions from the month in whichthis threshold was exceeded in accordance with the provisions applyingto the threshold which becomes applicable. If this provision involves
the transmission of the periodic declarations referred to in Article 13
of the Basic Regulation, the Member States shall lay down the timelimit for transmitting these declarations in accordance with their parti-cular administrative arrangements.
Article 18
The Member States shall communicate to the Commission the informa-
tion regarding the thresholds they have calculated at least two weeksbefore publication. At the Commission's request, they shall alsocommunicate the information required for assessing these thresholds,both for the period on which their calculation is based and for a givencalendar year.
Section 2
Specific thresholdsandexemptions
Article 19
For the implementation of Article 24(3) of this Regulation and Article
23(3) of the Basic Regulation, Member States shall set separate thresh-olds for arrivals and dispatches at such values that at least 95 % of
information providers are exempted from the requirement to provide
the ‘statistical value’, ‘delivery terms’, ‘mode of transport’ and ‘statis-tical procedure’ data.
As far as the ‘statistical value’ is concerned, the Member States shall
ensure that at least 70 % of the total value of their dispatches or arri-
vals is covered. The limit of 95 % of information providers may be
lowered to 90 % if the coverage rate of 70 % of the total value of theirdispatches or arrivals is not reached.
The Member States shall calculate these limits from the last available
results for their trade with the other Member States over a 12-month
period.
The information relating to the introduction of these thresholds shall be
published not later than 31 October 2000.
Member States may adjust their thresholds every calendar year
provided that the quality requirement laid down in this Article continue
to be met. The Member States concerned shall publish the information
relating to the adjustment of the thresholds not later than 31 October ofthe preceding year.
Article 20
1. A threshold value for individual transactions may be applied
under conditions defined in paragraphs 2 and 3. Without prejudice to
paragraph 2, this threshold shall give the parties responsible for
providing information the option of entering all transactions whosevalue is below this threshold under a global heading of the CombinedNomenclature, in which case the application of Article 23 of the BasicRegulation shall be limited to the provision of the following data:
— in the case of arrivals, the Member State of dispatch,
— in the case of dispatches, the Member State of consignment,— the value of the goods.
The global heading referred to in paragraph 1 shall be identified by CN
code 9950 00 00.2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 9
▼B
For the purposes of this Article, ‘transaction’ means any operation
described under Article 25(1)(a) of this Regulation.
The threshold for each transaction shall be EUR 100.2. In the context of this Article, Member States may refuse or limit
application of the option provided for in paragraph 1 if they consider
that the aim of maintaining a satisfactory quality of statistical informa-tion overrides the desirability of reducing the reporting burden.
3. Member States may require parties responsible for providing
information to ask the national department responsible for compilingstatistics on the trading of goods between Member States, in advance,
to be allowed to make use of the option referred to in paragraph 1.
4. When requested to do so by the Commission, Member States
shall transmit such information as is necessary for monitoring theapplication of this Regulation.
Article 21
Data relating to the goods listed in Annex I shall be excluded from
compilation and, consequently, pursuant to Article 25(4) of the BasicRegulation, from collection.
CHAPTER 4
STATISTICALDATA
Article 22
In the medium for the information, the Member States whose statistical
territory is described in the nomenclature of countries adopted eachyear pursuant to Article 9(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95(
1) shall be designated by the following codes:
Belgium BE or 017Denmark DK or 008Germany DE or 004Greece GR or 009

Article 23
When the quantity of goods to be mentioned on the data medium is
determined:
(a) ‘net mass’ means the actual mass of the good excluding all packa-
ging. It shall be given in kilograms. However, the specification ofnet mass for the subheadings of the combined nomenclature set out2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 10
(1) OJ L 118, 25.5.1995, p. 12.
▼B
in Annex II shall be optional for the parties responsible for
providing information. In order to inform the party reponsible forproviding the information about possible updates of the annex,
resulting from the annual changes in the Combined Nomenclature,
an explanatory note will be published in the Official Journal of the
European Communities (C series);
(b) ‘supplementary units’ means the units measuring quantity, other
than the units measuring mass expressed in kilograms. They mustbe mentioned in accordance with the information set out in thecurrent version of the Combined Nomenclature, opposite thesubheadings concerned, the list of which is published in Part I‘Preliminary provisions’ of the said nomenclature.
Article 24
1. The value of the goods referred to in Article 23(1)(d) of the Basic
Regulation shall be reported in the statistical information medium on
the conditions defined in paragraphs 2 and 3.
2. The value of the goods to be reported in the ‘invoiced amount’
field in the statistical information medium shall be the taxable amountto be determined for taxation purposes in accordance with Directive 77/388/EEC. For products subject to excise duties, however, the amount of
these duties should be excluded from the value of the goods.
Whenever the taxable amount does not have to be declared for taxation
purposes, the value of the goods to be reported shall correspond to theinvoice value, excluding VAT, or, failing this, to an amount whichwould have been invoiced in the event of any sale or purchase.
In the case of work under contract, the value of the goods to be
reported, with a view to and following such operations, shall be the
total amount to be invoiced in the event of any sale or purchase.
3. The statistical value of the goods, as defined in paragraph S, shall
also be reported in the field provided to this end in the statistical infor-mation medium by information providers whose annual arrivals ordispatches exceed the limits set by each Member State, in accordancewith Article 19.
4. By way of derogation to paragraph 3, the Member States may
exempt information providers from reporting the statistical value ofgoods.
In this case, the Member States concerned shall calculate the statistical
value of goods, as defined in paragraph 5, by kinds of goods.
5. The statistical value shall be based on the goods reported by the
information providers pursuant to paragraph 2. It shall include only
incidental expenses, such as transport and insurance costs, referring to
the part of the route which:
— for dispatches, is within the statistical territory of the Member State
of dispatch,
— for arrivals, is outside the statistical territory of the Member State
of arrival.
6. The value of the goods defined in the preceding paragraphs shall
be expressed in the national currency, whereupon the exchange rate tobe applied shall be:
— that applicable for determining the taxable amount for taxation
purposes, when this is established,
— otherwise, the official rate of exchange at the time of completing
the declaration or that applicable to calculating the value for
customs purposes, in the absence of any special provisions decidedby the Member States.
7. In accordance with Article 26 of the Basic Regulation, the value
of the goods given in the results to be transmitted to the Commissionshall be the statistical value defined in paragraph 5.2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 11
▼B
8. At the Commission's request, the Member States shall provide it
with the information enabling it to assess the application of paragraph3.
Article 25
1. For the purposes of this Chapter,
(a) ‘transaction’ shall mean any operation, whether commercial or not,
which leads to a movement of goods covered by statistics on the
trading of goods between Member States;
(b) ‘nature of the transaction’ means all those characteristics which
distinguish one transaction from another.
2. A distinction shall be made between transactions which differ in
nature, in accordance with the list in Annex III.
The nature of the transaction shall be specified, on the information
medium, by the code number corresponding to the appropriate category
of column A in the abovementioned list.
3. Within the limits of the list referred to in paragraph 2, the
Member States may prescribe the collection of data on the nature of
the transaction up to the level which they use for the collection ofdata on trade third countries, regardless of whether they collect themin this connection as data on the nature of the transaction or as dataon customs procedures.
Article 26
1. ‘Country of origin’ shall mean the country where the goods origi-
nate.

INDUSTRIALPLANTS
Article 32
1. ‘Complete industrial plant’ means a combination of machines,
apparatus, appliances, equipment, instruments and materials, hereinafterreferred to as ‘component parts’, which fall under various headings ofthe Harmonised System classification and which are designed to func-
tion together as a large-scale unit to produce goods or provide services.
All other goods which are used in constructing a complete industrial
plant may be treated as component parts thereof, provided they are
not excluded from the statistical compilation by virtue of the Basic
Regulation.
2. A simplified declaration procedure may be used for recording
arrivals or dispatches of complete industrial plants. Those responsible
for supplying the statistical information shall be authorised, at their
request, to use such simplified procedure in accordance with the condi-tions laid down in this section.
3. The simplified procedure may be applied only to complete indus-
trial plants, the total statistical value of each of which exceeds EUR 1,5million, unless they are complete industrial plants for re-use.
The total value of an industrial plant is calculated by adding the respec-
tive statistical values of its component parts and the respective
statistical values of the goods referred to in the second subparagraphof paragraph 1. The value to be taken into account is the invoice valueof the good or, if this is not available, the amount which would beinvoiced in the event of a sale or purchase.
Article 33
1. For the purposes of this chapter, component parts falling within a
given chapter shall be classified under the relevant complete industrial
plant subheading of Chapter 98 unless the competent department
referred to in Article 35 requires the goods to be classified, in Chapter98, under the relevant complete industrial plant subheadings of theHarmonised System classification headings, or requires the provisionsof paragraph 2 to be applied.2000R1901 — EN — 01.01.2002 — 001.001 — 14

department from classifying certain component parts under the relevantCombined Nomenclature subheadings within the meaning of Article
1(2)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87(
1).
2. Where the competent department referred to in paragraph 1
considers the value of the items of complete industrial plants to betoo low to justify recording them under the complete industrial plantsubheadings of the relevant chapters, specific complete industrial plantsubheadings, as provided for in the Combined Nomenclature, shall
apply.
Article 34
In accordance with the Combined Nomenclature, the code numbers for
complete industrial plant subheadings shall be composed in conformity
with the following rules.
1. The code shall comprise eight digits.
2. The first two digits shall be 9 and 8 respectively.
3. The third digit, which shall serve to identify complete industrial
plant, shall be 8.
4. The fourth digit shall vary from 0 to 9 according to the main
economic activity carried out by the complete industrial plant and
in accordance with the classification given:
Code Economic activities
0 Energy (including production and distribution of steam
and hot water)

6. For complete industrial plant subheadings which are situated:
— at Combined Nomenclature chapter level, the seventh and eighth
digits shall be 0,
— at Harmonised System heading level, the seventh and eighth
digits shall correspond to the third and fourth digits of thatheading.
7. The competent department referred to in Article 33(2) shall
prescribe the designation and the Combined Nomenclature codenumber to be used in the statistical information medium to identify
the component parts of a complete industrial plant.
Article 35
