Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) on the statistical classification of economic activities 
in the European Communities 
COM(90) final SYN 241 
(Submitted by the Commission on 1 February 1990) 
(90/C 58/06) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
In cooperation with the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas the functioning of the internal market requires 
statistical standards applicable to the collection, 
transmission and publication of national and Community statistics in order to make available to enterprises, financial 
institutions, governments and all other operators in the 
Single Market reliable and comparable information; 
Whereas such information will be necessary for enterprises in 
order to assess their competitiveness and be useful for the 
Community institutions in the prevention of distortion of 
competition; 
Whereas only if the Member States use classifications of 
activities linked to the Community classification will it be 
possible to provide integrated statistical information with the 
reliability, speed, flexibility and degree of detail required for 
the management of the internal market; 
No C 58/26 OfficiaL Journal of the European Communities 8. 3. 90 
Whereas provision should be made for the Member States to 
be able, in order to meet national requirement, to insert 
additional subdivisions in their national classifications based 
on the statistical classification of economic activities in the 
European Communities; 
Whereas 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 international 
standard industrial classification (ISIC) of the United 
Nations; 
Whereas utilization of classification of economic activities of 
the European Communities requires standard definitions of 
statistical units for surveys as well as for presentation and 
analysis, together with explanatory notes, and these will be 
drawn up later; 
Whereas it is vital that content of the statistical classification 
of economic activities in the European Communities be 
interpreted uniformly in all the Member States; 
Whereas the introduction of a new classification requires a 
transitional period, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. The purpose of this Regulation is to establish a 
common statistical classification of economic activities in the 
European Communities in order to ensure comparability 
between national and Community classifications and hence 
national and Community statistics. 
2. This Regulation shall apply to the use of the 
classification for statistical purposes only. 
3. The Regulation imposes no obligation on Member 
States to collect, publish or supply data. 
Article 2 
1. A common basis for statistical classifications of 
economic activities in the European Communities is hereby 
instituted, hereinafter referred to as NACE Rev. 1. NACE 
Rev. 1 comprises: 
— a first level consisting of headings identified by an 
alphabetical code (sections), 
— an intermediate level consisting of headings identified by 
a two-character alphabetical code (subsections), 
— a second level consisting of headings identified by a 
two-digit numerical code (divisions), — a third level consisting of headings identified by a 
three-digit numerical code (groups), 
— a fourth level consisting of headings identified by a 
four-digit numerical code (classes). 
2. NACE Rev. 1 is annexed to this Regulation. 
Article 3 
1. Statistics by economic activities drawn up by the 
Commission shall be based on NACE Rev. 1. 
2. NACE Rev. 1 shall be used by the Member States 
subject to the following derogations: 
(a) The national classifications shall contain levels 
corresponding to those of NACE Rev. 1, in the sense 
that each of the levels shall consist either of the same 
headings as the corresponding NACE Rev. 1 level, or of 
headings constituting an exact breakdown of the 
same; 
(b) Additional levels may be introduced; 
(c) Each of the levels, except for the highest, shall aggregate 
exactly into the next higher level of NACE Rev. 1; 
(d) The coding may be different. 
3. Member States making use of the derogations provided 
for in paragraph 2 may publish, for information, a text 
consolidating the NACE classifications and the 
supplementary national classifications. The draft text shall 
be communicated to the Commission to check its conformity 
with the NACE classification, in sufficient time before its 
publication. 
Article 4 
Further to the derogations provided for in Article 3 if, in the 
later utilization of the NACE Rev. 1, a Member State 
encounters incompatibility between certain NACE Rev. 1 
subdivisions and the national economic structure, the 
Commission may authorize the Member State to use, in a 
specific area, a more aggregated level of NACE Rev. 1. 
The derogations may not permit Member States to subdivide 
the aggregated level in a way different from NACE 
Rev. 1. 
If a derogation is accorded, the Member State shall, however, 
be required to furnish estimates at the level of detail specified 
in corresponding Community legislation. 
8. 3. 90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 58/27 
The Commission shall, together with the Member State 
concerned, periodically review the derogation to verify if it is 
still justified. 
Article 5 
The Commission shall take all the necessary administrative, 
technical and organizational measures to ensure the 
implementation and management of NACE Rev. 1. 
Article 6 
The Commission shall, at the request of a Member State or 
on its own initiative, and after consultation of the advisory 
committee instituted in Article 7, give the interpretation of 
NACE Rev. 1 needed to ensure its uniform application. 
Article 7 
1. An advisory committee on statistical classification of 
economic activities shall be set up, composed of 
representatives of the Member States and chaired by a 
representative of the Commission. 
2. The chairman shall submit to the committee a draft of 
the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its 
opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman 
may lay down according to the urgency of the matter, if 
necessary by taking a vote. 
3. The opinion of the committee shall be recorded in the 
minutes. Each Member State shall have the right to ask to 
have its position recorded in the minutes. 
4. The Commission shall take the utmost account of the 
opinion delivered by the committee. It shall inform the 
committee of the manner in which its opinion has been taken 
into account. 
Article 8 
1. The committee may be consulted by the Commission 
on all questions concerning this Regulation. 
2. The committee may examine any questions concerning 
the NACE Rev. 1 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 the 
Regulation, especially as regards: 
(a) interpretation of NACE Rev. 1; 
(b) drafting and updating of the explanatory notes; 
(c) examination of problems arising from implementation of 
NACE Rev. 1 in the Member States' classifications of 
economic activities; (d) rules of classification of statistical units in economic 
activity classifications; 
(e) preparation of a common position concerning the work 
of international organizations on classifications of 
economic activities, especially ISIC Rev. 3 and its 
explanatory notes, 
(f) preparation and coordination of work on revising NACE 
Rev. 1. 
Article 9 
Member States shall take the necessary measures to apply to 
their national statistical classification of economic activities 
either NACE Rev. 1 as it is, or an adapted version pursuant 
to Article 3, by 1 January 1993. 
They shall inform the Commission without delay of the 
measures taken, and the Commission shall pass on this 
information to the other Member States. 
They shall publish their national classification if they use the 
derogations set out in Article 3 with a supplementary code 
showing the relation to NACE Rev. 1. 
Article 10 
Member States shall use NACE Rev. 1 in cases where they 
are required to transmit to the Commission statistics broken 
down by economic activity from 1 January 1993. They shall 
until that day follow current practice, which is to use NACE 
1970 in cases where they are required to transmit data either 
by agreement or by a Community legal act. 
Article 11 
During a transitional period starting on 1 January 1993, data 
collected before 1 January 1993 on the basis of current 
classifications will be published after 1 January 1993 
according to a classification other than NACE Rev. 1. 
In case of transmission to the Commission these data shall be 
as accurately as possible transformed and transmitted 
according to NACE Rev. 1 as set out in Article 10. 
The transitional period shall end on 1 January 1995. The 
Commission may, at the request of a Member State and after 
having heard the opinion of the advisory committee, in 
certain cases prolong this period until 1 January 1996. 
Member States shall provide the Commission (Statistical 
Office of the European Communities, Eurostat) with the 
information required on the correlation tables between 
national classifications and NACE Rev. 1 used during the 
No C 58/28 Official Journal of the European Communities 8. 3. 90 
transition period. The Commission shall publish these 
correlation tables. 
Article 12 
The Commission shall publish the table of correlation 
between current NACE and NACE Rev. 1 in the six months 
following the entry into force of this Regulation. Article 13 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day 
following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly 
applicable in all Member States.
