Division-based data into Groups.

The Member States that apply the allocation to Main Industrial
Groupings (MIGS) in part or in total on the basis of NACE rev.
1 Divisions shall inform Eurostat on the weights used for the
split-up into NACE rev. 1 Groups.

applying the definitions set forth in the Annex, take the neces-
sary measures to assure that existing statistical data covered by
Regulation (EC) No 1165/98 will be revised by means of
recalculation or estimation to satisfy these definitions.

Each Member State shall transmit to the Commission, at its
request, any relevant information on conformance within that
Member State to the definitions set forth in the Annex.
