THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91 of 19 December 1991 on the establishment of a Community survey of industrial production(1), and in particular Article 2(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91 requires Member States to carry out a Community survey of industrial production.
(2) The survey of industrial production must be based on a list of products identifying the industrial production to be surveyed.
(3) A list of products is necessary to permit alignment between production statistics and external trade statistics and to afford comparison with the Community product nomenclature (CPA).
(4) The list of products required by Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91 and referred to as the "Prodcom list", is common to all Member States, and is necessary in order to compare data across Member States.
(5) The Prodcom list needs to be updated and it is therefore necessary to establish that list for 2004.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee set up by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom(2),
