COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1502/2006

of 28 September 2006

implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1165/98 concerning short-term statistics as regards
derogations to be granted to Member States

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1165/98 of
19 May 1998 concerning short term statistics (1), and in particu-
lar Article 17(h) thereof,

(5)

(6)

Derogations enacted by Commission Regulation (EC)
No 606/2001 of 23 March 2001 implementing Council
Regulation (EC) No 1165/98 concerning short-term statis-
tics as regards derogations of Member States (2) have
expired.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme
Committee,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 1165/98 established a common frame-
work for the production of short-term Community statis-
tics on the business cycle.

Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005 introduced new variables
and imposed new obligations on Member States concern-
ing reference periods, levels of detail and transmission
deadlines for the required data.

As a consequence, national statistical systems require
adaptations.

Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005 specified maximum tran-
sition periods for the individual variables that may be
granted by the Commission.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The derogations referred to in Article 13 of Regulation (EC)
No 1165/98 and in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005
are specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following
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.

Done at Brussels, 28 September 2006.

ANNEX

The following tables indicate the transition periods and derogations granted to the Member States for individual indicators
in each annex to Regulation (EC) No 1165/98 amended by Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005 (in the following referred to as
‘STS Regulation’).

The first column of each table contains the specification of the indicator concerned. The capital letters refer to four annexes
to Regulation (EC) No 1165/98:

A — Industry

B — Construction

C — Retail trade and repair

D — Other services.

The 3-digit numbers refer to variables as follows:

110 — Production

115 — Production of building construction

116 — Production of civil engineering

120 — Turnover

122 — Non-domestic turnover

132 — Non-domestic new orders

210 — Number of persons employed

310 — Output prices

312 — Output prices of the non-domestic market

340 — Import prices.

The second column describes the content of the derogation according to the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005.
There are four possibilities for this content:

— First data delivery – applies to new indicators that were introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005.

— Split euro-zone/non-euro-zone – for non-domestic indicators A-122, A-132 and A-312 as well as for import prices
A-340 a distinction is now to be made for the components attributable to the euro-zone countries and non-euro-
zone countries (non-EU-countries and non-EMU Member States of the EU).

— Data transmission deadline – for indicators, where data is to be transmitted with a shorter delay than before; the new
delay is also indicated and for countries below a certain threshold an additional delay of 15 days granted by the STS
Regulation is respected in the table.

— Monthly data frequency – applies to indicators that have to be provided no more with a quarterly but with a monthly

frequency.

‘Data scope’ in the third column refers to the NACE rev. 1.1 or CPA codes that are required for each indicator by the STS
Regulation. If a derogation applies only to a part of NACE/CPA codes required for an indicator and country or there are
several derogations for the same indicator, the relevant codes are specified here and have their corresponding dates in the
following columns.

The fourth column contains ‘end of the transition period’. This is a rather formal date, when the derogation expires and
the country becomes obliged to comply fully with the STS Regulation in the respect covered by the derogation.

‘First reference period for the new rules’ means the first reference period for which Member States have to provide data
according to the amendments of the STS Regulation made by Regulation (EC) No 1158/2005. For the four possible dero-
gation subjects specified earlier it means respectively:

— The first reference period, for which data must be provided in case of new indicators.

— The first reference period, for which a split to euro-zone and non-euro-zone countries is to be made in case of non-

domestic indicators.

— The first reference period, for which data is to be provided with a shorter delay.

— The first reference period (month), for which data provision has to switch from quarterly to monthly frequency.

L 281/3

The last column specifies the first data transmission deadline after the expiration of the derogation. This deadline equals
the derogation expiration for first data delivery and for the split euro-zone/non-euro-zone. For the shorter data transmis-
sion delay the date in this column equals the first regular data transmission deadline after the expiration of the derogation.

All dates are provided in the format dd/mm/yyyy for daily, mm/yyyy for monthly and Qq/yyyy for quarterly dates.

The countries are listed according to the alphabetical order of their names in the respective official language, i.e.: Belgium,
Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta,
The Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, United Kingdom. No tables are provided for coun-
tries that have no derogations granted.
