THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Revision 2 and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 as well as certain EC Regulations on specific statistical domainsnote, and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,Whereas:
(1)Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 established a common statistical classification of economic activities in the Union (‘NACE Rev. 2’), which started to apply on 1 January 2008.
(2)After NACE Rev. 2 started to apply, globalisation and digitalisation have progressively changed the way in which many economic activities provide goods and services worldwide.
(3)As a result of those changes, NACE Rev. 2 had to be updated, to maintain its comparability and consistency with the standards for classifying economic activities used at international level. Accordingly, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/137note amended Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 and established the updated classification (‘NACE Rev. 2.1’).
(4)To enable users to assess the detailed content changes in NACE and to compare the previous version of the classification with the updated version thereof, a correspondence tablenote was made available to the classification users on 1 August 2023, along with explanatory notesnote.
(5)A large body of legislation sets out data transmission requirements which refer to specific NACE sections, divisions, groups or classes. In order to enable data providers to adapt to the amended regulatory requirements, the application of the updated classification (NACE Rev. 2.1) was deferred with regard to certain data transmission requirements set out in several Union legal acts. In order to better align data transmission requirements with practical feasibility, the time of application of NACE Rev. 2.1 should be further amended for certain statistical domains.
(6)As the granularity of the updated classification is similar to that of the original version of the classification, the amendment to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/137 set out in this Regulation would not impose any significant additional burden on Member States or on respondents.
(7)Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/137 should therefore be amended accordingly,
