Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2002
of 28 November 2002
adapting Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 on the organisation of a labour force sample survey in the Community and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1575/2000 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 577/98 as far as the list of education and training variables and their codification to be used for data transmission from 2003 onwards are concerned
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1991/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The evolution of techniques and concepts, in particular concerning the distinction between formal education and other forms of learning activities and the implementation of the classification on fields of education and training, makes it necessary to adapt the list of the education and training variables laid down in Article 4(1)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 577/98.
(2) As a consequence, the codification of these variables laid down in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1575/2000 of 19 July 2000(3) should also be adapted. The new list and codification should be implemented already in 2003 so as to guarantee full compatibility with the 2003 ad hoc module on lifelong learning(4).
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion delivered by the Statistical Programme Committee established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom(5),
