Division B POSSIBILITY TO PROVIDE DATA THAT WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED AT NATIONAL LEVEL AND THAT WILL BE USED FOR CALCULATING EUROPEAN TOTALS ONLY: CONTRIBUTION TO EUROPEAN TOTALS ONLY (CETO)

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

In order to minimise the burden on businesses and the costs to the national statistical authorities, the Member States may mark data for use as a contribution to European totals only (CETO) for some variables as specified in Annex I to this Regulation. Eurostat shall not publish those data, nor shall Member States mark nationally published data with a CETO flag. The number of statistics that can be marked with a CETO-flag by a Member State differs between small, medium and large countries:

  1. 1..

    The variable to be used for the grouping of Member States in size classes is the value added except for:

    • variables 251001 (Sold production), 251002 (Production under sub-contracted operations) and 251003 (Actual production) where the variable to be used for the grouping is the sold production;

    • Variables 460101 (imports and acquisition of services), 460201 (exports and provision of services), 240401 (Statistical value of imports by enterprises), 251101 (Statistical value of exports by enterprises), where the variable to be used is the total services trade volume – exports plus imports of services, traded between residents and non-residents – expressed as the sum of variables 240401 (Statistical value of imports by enterprises) and 251101 (Statistical value of exports by enterprises).

  2. 2..

    Two thresholds – set at 1 % respectively at 10 % – are to be used to distinguish between small, medium and large Member States except for variables 251001 (Sold production), 251002 (Production under sub-contracted operations), 251003 (Actual production), 460101 (imports and acquisition of services), 460201 (exports and provision of services), 240401 (Statistical value of imports by enterprises) and 251101 (Statistical value of exports by enterprises) where the thresholds are set at 1 % and 4 %.

  3. 3..

    The overall grouping of the Member States is to be done on the basis of their share in the EU value added of NACE Sections B to R and Divisions 95 and 96 (excluding Section O) except for:

    • variables 251001 (Sold production), 251002 (Production under sub-contracted operations) and 251003 (Actual production) where the grouping is to be done on the basis of their share in the EU sold production of CPA divisions (05 to 33) under the scope of the PRODCOM list.

    • Variables 460101 (imports and acquisition of services), 460201 (exports and provision of services), 240401 (Statistical value of imports by enterprises) and 251101 (Statistical value of exports by enterprises), where the grouping is to be done on the basis of their share in the EU total services trade volume (exports plus imports of services, traded between residents and non-residents – expressed as the sum of variables 240401 (Statistical value of imports by enterprises) and 251101 (Statistical value of exports by enterprises))

  4. 4..

    The number of statistics that can be marked with a CETO flag for variables as laid down in Annex I to this Regulation:

    1. (a)

      For small countries: all data at NACE class level and no more than 25 % of the data at NACE group level for the activity breakdown; all data at NACE group level except for the total over all size classes for the combined activity and size class breakdowns; no more than 20 % of the data at individual PRODCOM heading level.

    2. (b)

      For medium countries: no more than 25 % of data at NACE class level for the activity breakdown, no more than 25 % of data at NACE group level except for the total over all size classes for the combined activity and size class breakdowns for the size class breakdown at NACE group level; no more than 15 % of data for individual PRODCOM headings. In addition, if, in any of these Member States, the share of a NACE Rev. 2 class or of a size class of NACE Rev. 2 group is less than 0,1 % of the business economy of the Member State concerned or less than 0,1 % of the total over all individual PRODCOM headings, those data may additionally be sent as CETO-flagged.

    3. (c)

      For large countries: no more than 15 % of data at NACE class level for the activity breakdown, no more than 15 % of data at NACE group level except for the total over all size classes for the combined activity and size class breakdowns for the size class breakdown at NACE group level; no more than 10 % of data at or for the individual PRODCOM headings.

    4. (d)

      For the variables 460101 (imports and acquisition of services), 460201 (exports and provision of services), 240401 (Statistical value of imports by enterprises) and 251101 (Statistical value of exports by enterprises), – for small countries: not more than 40 % of the Member State data could be marked with CETO flag; for medium countries: not more than 15 % and for large countries: not more than 10 %.
