Item 6.3 of agenda
Standards Working Group meeting 2018
Michael Mietzner
Eurostat, Unit B5

2. Introduction
Since the first posting on 8 January 2002 more than cases have been debated in the CIRCA/CIRCBC forum!
Whenever found relevant and considered as adding value, caselaws have been integrated in the NACE and CPA explanatory notes
Need to extract relevant cases for upcoming NACE/CPA updates/revisions!
Up to May 2018 Eurostat and the Member States examined recent forum discussions:
NACE: topics posted in the forum from January 2008 until May 2018
CPA: topics posted in the forum from January 2015 – May 2018

3. Extraction criteria in CIRCABC forum
The following types of cases are excluded from the extraction:
Issues related to activities/products/services that are explicitly mentioned in the NACE/CPA structure or explanatory notes (no need to repeat content)
Issues that are covered by the document "Installation, maintenance, repair, rental and trade described by CPA categories"
Issues dealt with in the "critical classes" exercise in 2010
Issues covered by correspondence tables:
CPA 2008 – CPA Ver. 2.1
NACE Rev. 1.1 – NACE Rev. 2
CPA Ver. 2.1 – CN with ex-cases
CPA Ver. 2.1 – CN without ex-cases
ISIC Rev.4 – NACE Rev. 2

4. Extraction criteria in CIRCABC forum cont.
Issues related to determining the principal activity
Issues related to classification rules, such as:
Integrated activities
Subcontracting/outsourcing
Etc.
Statistical units and legal units, such as "sham self-employed", or in French, "faux indépendants"
Issues related to various price concepts
Issues related to evolution in technology, i.e. "old" methods vs. "new"
Cases where, due to lack of necessary input etc., no solution could be proposed

5. Developments since June 2017
The SWG on June 2017 decided to carry out voting, via written procedure for "mature" discussions, with deadline to vote 22 June 2017, for outstanding issues.
Following the written procedure 19 additional caselaws were adopted and published on 26 June 2017.
Some discussions still remain not concluded, and new discussions have in the meantime entered the forum:
Many of these discussions are not suitable for general guidance as caselaws, but nevertheless important to decide on specific situations
Many of the discussions have not "matured" for drawing any operational conclusions
