  "text": "European sample schemes may limit the scope of the data to be transmitted when compiling statistics for variables as specified in Annex I to the Regulation in order to reduce the costs for national statistical systems, to ensure that European data requirements are met and to enable the Commission (Eurostat) to produce credible European estimates for the indicators concerned.\nMember States participating in the European sample scheme referred to above shall transmit data to the Commission (Eurostat) for at least the NACE activities and CPA products specified according to the following procedure:\n1.. Reporting is limited in each country to those activities or products, the weight of which is equal to or more than 0,05 % of the total weight (euro area total industry) of the indicator during the previous base year.\n2.. The reporting requirements are updated routine-wise at the same time with the update of the European weights for the new base year, on the basis of the weights during the previous base year.\n3.. The first reference period for the new headings shall be no later than from the beginning of the new base year with effect from the introduction of base year three years later.\n4.. The update of the European sampling schemes along these lines does not require a specific legal act.\nThe terms of the European sample schemes set out may be adapted to changes of the base year or of the classification system or to important structural changes in the euro area or the European Union.\nEach new member of the euro area or European Union may enter any of the European sample schemes upon joining the euro area or European Union. The Commission, after consultation with the Member State concerned, shall specify the NACE activities and CPA products for which data are to be transmitted according to the above procedure, in order for that Member State to comply with Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 in the framework of the European sample schemes.",
