      ANNEX
      Specific requirements for time series prior to 2009 to be transmitted according to NACE Rev. 2
      The level of detail according to which the individual variables are to be transmitted is the same as set out in sections (f) of Annexes A, B, C and D, respectively, of Regulation (EC) No 1165/98 (in the following referred to as ‘STS Regulation’).
      The form in which the individual variables are to be transmitted is the same as set out in sections (d) of Annexes A, B, C, and D respectively, of the STS Regulation.
      The following table indicates the first reference period for which the individual variables are to be transmitted according to NACE Rev. 2. All dates are provided in the format mm/yyyy for monthly and qq/yyyy for quarterly dates.
