   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 530/1999 of 9 March 1999 concerning structural statistics on earnings and on labour costs (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 of 9 March 1998 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 452/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 concerning the production and development of statistics on education and lifelong learning (4), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The introduction of an updated classification system is central to the Commission’s ongoing efforts to maintain the relevance of European statistics, by taking into account developments and changes in the area of education.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) has revised the version of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) used hitherto (ISCED 1997) with the aim of ensuring that it is consistent with developments in the policies and structures of education and training.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The international comparability of educational statistics requires that the Member States and the Union institutions use classifications of education which are compatible with the revised International Standard Classification of Education ISCED 2011 (hereinafter referred to as ‘ISCED 2011’), as adopted by the Unesco Member States at their 36th General Conference in November 2011.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               The establishment of a revised International Standard Classification of Education makes it necessary to amend various references to ISCED, ISCED 97 and ISCED 1997 as well as to amend a number of relevant instruments.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               It is therefore necessary to amend accordingly the following Regulations: Commission Regulation (EC) No 1983/2003 of 7 November 2003 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1177/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning Community statistics on income and living conditions (EU-SILC) as regards the list of target primary variables (5); Commission Regulation (EC) No 1738/2005 of 21 October 2005 amending Regulation (EC) No 1916/2000 as regards the definition and transmission of information on the structure of earnings (6); Commission Regulation (EC) No 698/2006 of 5 May 2006 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 530/1999 as regards quality evaluation of structural statistics on labour costs and earnings (7); Commission Regulation (EC) No 377/2008 of 25 April 2008 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community as regards the codification to be used for data transmission from 2009 onwards, the use of a subsample for the collection of data on structural variables and the definition of the reference quarters (8); Commission Regulation (EU) No 823/2010 of 17 September 2010 implementing Regulation (EC) No 452/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the production and development of statistics on education and lifelong learning, as regards statistics on the participation of adults in lifelong learning (9).
            
         
               (6)
