22-01-2008 - EU News - NACE Rev. 2 Structure and explanatory notes
The new text is long but it is interesting to read. For once, we
have the same classification in Europe (80.30 for investigatives
activities).
The European Classification of Economic Activities (NACE) is the European
reference framework for the production and the dissemination of statistics
related to economic activities.
Since its development in 1970, EU Member States have used NACE or national
classifications derived from NACE: it is an integral part of the statistical
infrastructure used within the European statistical system for producing
comparable statistics. Because of its relation to the International Standard
Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC), NACE is an
important tool for comparing statistical data on economic activities at
world level.
This publication presents NACE Rev. 2, which was adopted in 2006 and
replaces NACE
Rev. 1.1. The main concepts, the history and the methodological guidelines
for understanding and applying NACE Rev. 2 in the statistical production
process are introduced here.
NACE Rev. 2 is the outcome of a five-year long consultation process, which
involved EU national statistical institutes, European trade and business
associations, the European Central Bank and the United Nations Statistical
Division. The work has been coordinated by Eurostat.
