(2)Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2256/92OJ L 219, 4.8.1992, p. 40., (EC) No 1125/94OJ L 124, 18.5.1994, p. 1. and (EC) No 2820/94OJ L 299, 22.11.1994, p. 1. lay down additional provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91, concerning in particular statistical thresholds, deadlines for forwarding results, and threshold values for individual transactions in the context of statistics relating to trade between Member States. (3)When further amendments are made to Regulation (EEC) No 3046/92, the relevant regulations should be drawn up in such a way which lightens the burden on enterprises and administrations affected by these regulations. (4)With a view to establishing the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States, the field of application of the Intrastat system should be precisely defined in relation to both the goods to be included and those to be excluded. (5)The date from which the intra-Community operator is in practice to comply with his obligations to supply information must be determined and the extent of the obligations of the third party to whom the party responsible for providing the information may transfer that task should be defined. (6)Certain rules to be complied with by the departments concerned must be specified in detail in particular to allow efficient management of the registers of intra-Community operators. (7)A key element of the Intrastat system consists in the use of value added tax information on intra-Community transactions. In order to ensure that the exhaustiveness of the statistics can be checked, it is appropriate to specify in a restrictive manner the information which may be passed between the administrative authorities in the Member States responsible for the application of laws on value added tax and those responsible for the establishment of statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States. (8)The burden on intra-Community operators must be lightened as much as possible, either by exempting them from statistical obligations or by simplifying procedures. This lightening of the burden must be limited only by the demands of statistics of a satisfactory quality, which must consequently be defined. All the Member States must have the instruments needed to ensure quality, while taking into account their own economic and commercial structure. (9)There is a need to specify the way in which the thresholds applying to certain data will be calculated. For the statistical procedure, this information needs to be distinguished from the procedure used for the statistical and tax declarations. (10)Despite the existence of statistical thresholds, there remain parties responsible for providing information effecting a large number of low-value transactions who are obliged to communicate these in the greatest detail, an obligation which represents a burden out of all proportion to the usefulness of the information thus obtained. It is necessary to reduce the burden. (11)A list should be drawn up of the goods to be excluded from the statistical returns relating to the trading of goods. (12)The data to be reported and the arrangements for reporting such data should be defined in more detail. (13)Of the units of quantity, net mass, in kilograms, is the main indicator and should in principle be mentioned for every type of goods. However, for certain products, it is not the most appropriate unit of measurement. The party responsible for providing information should therefore be exempted from indicating net mass in such cases. (14)Specific movements of goods may account for a substantial share of the statistics on the trading of goods between Member States. The absence of harmonised provisions at Community level is prejudicial to the comparability of statistics between Member States. Wherever possible, harmonisation of statistical legislation in the field of specific movements should be improved by complying with the relevant international recommendations. (15)In order to ensure that Community statistics on trade between the Member States are compiled regularly and within a reasonable time, the Member States must forward their results according to a common timetable. A distinction must be made between overall results and detailed results in order to ensure optimum satisfaction of user needs and take account of data collection and processing requirements. (16)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
TITLE I GENERAL PROVISIONS CHAPTER 1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Article 1 With a view to establishing the statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States, the Community and its Member States shall apply Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91, hereinafter referred to as "the Basic Regulation", in accordance with the rules laid down in this Regulation.
Article 2 The Intrastat system shall apply also to the products referred to in Article 3(1) of Council Directive 92/12/EECOJ L 76, 23.3.1992, p. 1. regardless of the form and content of the document accompanying them, when they move between the territories of the Member States.
Article 3 1. The Intrastat system shall not apply: (a)to goods placed or obtained under the inward processing customs procedure (suspension system) or the procedure of processing under customs control; (b)to goods circulating between parts of the statistical territory of the Community, at least one of which is not part of the territory of the Community pursuant to Council Directive 77/388/EECOJ L 145, 13.6.1977, p. 1.. However, without prejudice to customs regulations, provisions of this Regulation shall apply to these goods except Articles 2, 4, 5, 8 to 20, 24(1), (2) (except indent 3), (3) and (4), and 28, 29, 30 and 47. 2. The Member States shall be responsible for collecting data on the goods referred to in paragraph 1 on the basis of the customs procedures applicable to such goods. 3. If the statistical copy of the Single Administrative Document containing the data listed in Article 23(1) and (2) of the Basic Regulation is not available, the customs departments shall send the relevant statistical departments a periodic list of those same data by type of goods at least once a month, in accordance with the arrangements agreed upon by the said departments.
 CHAPTER 2 INFORMATION PROVIDERS AND REGISTERS
Article 4 1. Any natural or legal person carrying out an intra-Community operation for the first time, whether the goods are arriving or being dispatched, shall become responsible for providing the required information within the meaning of Article 20(5) of the Basic Regulation. 2. The party referred to in paragraph 1 shall provide the data on his intra-Community operations via the periodic declarations referred to in Article 13 of the Basic Regulation as from the month during which the assimilation threshold is exceeded, in accordance with the provisions relating to the threshold which become applicable to him. 3. When the VAT registration number of a party responsible for providing the information is amended as a result of a change of ownership, name, address, legal status or similar change which does not affect his intra-Community operations to a significant extent, the rule defined in paragraph 1 need not be applied to the party in question at the time of the change. It shall remain subject to the statistical obligations to which it was subject before the change.
Article 5 1. The third party referred to in Article 9(1) of the Basic Regulation is hereinafter referred to as "the declaring third party". 2. The declaring third party shall provide the competent national departments with the following information: (a)in accordance with Article 6(1), the information necessary: to identify himself, to identify each of the parties responsible for providing the information who have transferred this task to him; (b)for each of the parties responsible for providing information, the data required by the Basic Regulation and in implementation thereof.
Article 6 1. The information necessary to identify an intra-Community operator within the meaning of Article 10 of the Basic Regulation shall be the following: full name of the person or firm, full address including post code, under the circumstances laid down in Article 10(6) of the Basic Regulation, the VAT registration number. However, the statistical departments referred to in Article 10(1) of the Basic Regulation may dispense with one or more of the abovementioned items of information or, under circumstances to be determined by them, exempt the intra-Community operators from providing them. In the Member States referred to in Article 10(3) of the Basic Regulation, the information which serves to identify an intra-Community operator shall be supplied to the abovementioned statistical departments by the tax authorities referred to in the said Article as and when it becomes available to the latter, unless there is an agreement to the contrary between the departments concerned. 2. The minimum list of data to be recorded in the register of intra-Community operators, within the meaning of Article 10 of the Basic Regulation, shall contain, for each intra-Community operator, the following: (a)the year and month of entry in the register; (b)the information necessary to identify the operator as laid down in paragraph 1; (c)where applicable, whether the operator is a party responsible for providing information or a declaring third party, upon either consignment or receipt; (d)in the case of a party responsible for providing information, the total value of his intra-Community operations, by month and by flow, together with the value referred to in Article 11(3) of the Basic Regulation. However, this information need not be recorded if the checking of the information recorded as statistics using the information referred to in Article 11(3) of the Basic Regulation and the functioning of the statistical thresholds referred to in Article 28 of the said Regulation are organised separately from the management of the register of intra-Community operators. The competent national departments may record other data in the register in accordance with their requirements.
Article 7 With a view to implementing Article 10(6) of the Basic Regulation, the case where responsibility for the information, for given operations, lies not with the operator as a legal entity per se but with a constituent part of this entity, such as a branch office, a kind of activity unit or local unit, may be considered a justified exception.
Article 8 1. In the lists referred to in Article 11(1) of the Basic Regulation, the tax authorities responsible shall mention intra-Community operators who, as a result of a scission, merger or cessation of activity during the period under review, will no longer appear on the said lists. 2. The provision of information of a fiscal nature referred to in Article 11(4) of the Basic Regulation by a Member State's administrative authorities responsible for the application of laws on value added tax to the departments in that Member State responsible for compiling statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States is limited to information which those liable to account for VAT are required to provide in accordance with Article 22 of Directive 77/388/EEC.
Article 9 1. The party responsible for providing information shall transmit the data required under the Basic Regulation and in implementation thereof: (a)in accordance with the Community provision in force; (b)direct to the competent national departments or via the collection offices which the Member States have set up for this or for other statistical or administrative purposes; (c)for a given reference period, at his discretion: either by means of a single declaration, within a time limit which the competent national departments shall lay down in their instructions to the parties responsible for providing information, or by means of several part-declarations. In this case, the competent national departments may require agreement to be reached with them on the frequency of transmission and deadlines, but the last part-declaration must be transmitted within the time limit laid down under the first indent above. 2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, a party responsible for providing information who benefits from exemption by virtue of application of the assimilation threshold provided for in Article 28(4) of the Basic Regulation must, when transmitting the information, conform only to the regulations of the tax authorities responsible. 3. Pursuant to Article 34 of the Basic Regulation, the provisions of this Article relating to the periodicity of the declaration shall not prevent the conclusion of an agreement providing for the supply of data in real time, when the data are transmitted electronically. 4. By way of derogation to paragraph 1 above, in those Member States where the periodic statistical declaration is the same as the periodic tax declaration, the provisions relating to the transmission of the statistical declaration shall be drawn up in line with Community or national tax regulations.
 CHAPTER 3 STATISTICAL THRESHOLDS AND EXEMPTIONS Section 1 Overall functioning of thresholds
Article 10 The Member States shall set annually the assimilation and simplification thresholds referred to in Article 28 of the Basic Regulation. They shall ensure when setting these thresholds that, first, they meet the quality requirements laid down in this chapter and, secondly, they exploit to the full the ensuing opportunities to relieve the burden on intra-Community operators.
Article 11 For the purposes of this section: (a)"error" means the discrepancy between the results obtained with and without application of the thresholds referred to in Article 10. When a correction procedure is applied to the results obtained following application of the thresholds, the error is calculated in relation to the corrected results; (b)"total value" means, for the purposes of threshold adjustment, the value of either of the outgoing goods or of the incoming goods accounted for by intra-Community operators over a 12-month period, other than those who are exempt under Article 5 of the Basic Regulation; (c)"coverage" means, in relation to a given total value, the proportionate value of the outgoing goods or of the incoming goods accounted for by the intra-Community operators who lie above the assimilation threshold.
Article 12 1. The assimilation thresholds set by the Member States shall meet the following quality requirements: (a) Results by goods category Each Member State shall ensure that the error in annual values does not exceed 5 % for 90 % of the eight-digit sub-headings of the Combined Nomenclature which represent 0,005 % or more of the total value of its outgoing or incoming goods.However, each Member State may raise this quality requirement up to the point that the error in annual values does not exceed 5 % for 90 % of the eight-digit sub-headings of the Combined Nomenclature which represent 0,001 % or more of the total value of its outgoing or incoming goods. (b) Results by partner country Each Member State shall ensure that the error in the annual values of its results by partner country, excluding countries which represent less than 3 % of the total value of its outgoing or incoming goods, does not exceed 1 %. 2. When a Member State's share of the total value of outgoing or incoming goods in the Community is less than 3 %, that Member State may depart from the quality requirements laid down in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1(a). In such cases, the 90 % and 0,005 % shares shall be replaced by 70 % and 0,01 % respectively. 3. To meet the quality requirements set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, the Member States shall base the calculation of their thresholds on the results of trade with the other Member States for 12-month periods prior to the introduction of the thresholds. For Member States unable to make this calculation because figures are incomplete, the assimilation thresholds shall be fixed at a level not lower than the lowest, nor higher than the highest, thresholds set by the other Member States. However, this provision shall not be binding for Member States which are exempt under paragraph 2. 4. If, for certain groups of goods, the application of the thresholds calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Article yields results which, mutatis mutandis, fail to meet the quality requirements set out in paragraphs 1 and 2, and if the thresholds cannot be lowered without reducing the relief which Article 10 guarantees to intra-Community operators, appropriate measures may be taken, at the initiative of the Commission or the request of a Member State, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of the Basic Regulation.
Article 13 1. For the introduction of the simplification thresholds, the Member States may set these: at levels above EUR 100000 pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 28(9) of the Basic Regulation, provided that they ensure that at least 95 % of the total value of their outgoing or incoming goods is covered by periodic declarations containing all the information required under Article 23 of the Basic Regulation, where they are exempt under Article 12(2), at levels below EUR 100000 pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 28(9) of the Basic Regulation, to the extent necessary to ensure that at least 95 % of the total value of their outgoing or incoming goods is covered by periodic declarations containing all the information required under Article 23 of the Basic Regulation. 2. The party responsible for providing information according to the simplified rules of Article 28(5) of the Basic Regulation, shall report in the declaration a maximum of ten of the finest relevant subheadings of the Combined Nomenclature that are the most important in terms of value for the period covered by the declaration. For the residual products, the code 99500000 shall be used.
Article 14 1. For the adjustment of the assimilation thresholds, the quality requirements specified in Article 12 shall be regarded as met if the coverage is maintained at the level obtained when the thresholds were introduced. 2. The condition laid down in paragraph 1 shall be met if Member States: (a)calculate their thresholds for the year following the current year on the basis of the latest available results for their trade with the other Member States over a 12-month period, and (b)set their thresholds at a level which allows the same coverage for the period thus defined as for the period used as a basis for calculating their thresholds for the current year. Member States shall notify the Commission if they use a different method, to meet this condition. 3. Member States may lower their coverage provided that the quality requirements laid down in Article 12 continue to be met. 4. Member States shall calculate adjustments to their assimilation thresholds each year. The thresholds shall be adjusted if the adjustment involves a change of at least 10 % in the threshold values for the current year.
Article 15 1. For the adjustment of the simplification thresholds, the Member States who set these: at levels higher than the values laid down in by Article 28(8) of the Basic Regulation, shall ensure that the condition laid down in the first indent of Article 13(1) of this Regulation is met, at levels below these values, since they are exempt pursuant to Article 12(2) above, shall ensure that they comply with the limit laid down in the second indent of Article 13 of this Regulation. 2. To ensure that the condition referred to in the first indent of Article 13(1) is met or that the limit referred to in the second indent of Article 13(1) is complied with, it shall be sufficient for Member States to calculate the adjustment of the simplification thresholds using the method laid down in Article 14(2) for adjusting the assimilation thresholds. Member States shall notify the Commission if they use a different method.
Article 16 The information relating to the adjustment of assimilation and simplification thresholds shall be published not later than 31 October of the preceding year.
Article 17 1. Parties responsible for providing information shall be freed from their obligations to the extent allowed by application of the assimilation and simplification thresholds set for a given year, provided they have not exceeded these thresholds during the previous year. 2. For each statistical threshold, the provisions adopted shall apply for the whole year. However, if the value of the intra-Community transactions carried out by a party responsible for providing information at some time during the year exceeds the threshold applicable to him, he shall provide information on his intra-Community transactions from the month in which this threshold was exceeded in accordance with the provisions applying to the threshold which becomes applicable. If this provision involves the transmission of the periodic declarations referred to in Article 13 of the Basic Regulation, the Member States shall lay down the time limit for transmitting these declarations in accordance with their particular administrative arrangements.
Article 18 The Member States shall communicate to the Commission the information regarding the thresholds they have calculated at least two weeks before publication. At the Commission's request, they shall also communicate the information required for assessing these thresholds, both for the period on which their calculation is based and for a given calendar year.
 Section 2 Specific thresholds and exemptions
Article 19 For the implementation of Article 24(3) of this Regulation and Article 23(3) of the Basic Regulation, Member States shall set separate thresholds for arrivals and dispatches at such values that at least 95 % of information providers are exempted from the requirement to provide the "statistical value", "delivery terms", "mode of transport" and "statistical procedure" data. As far as the "statistical value" is concerned, the Member States shall ensure that at least 70 % of the total value of their dispatches or arrivals is covered. The limit of 95 % of information providers may be lowered to 90 % if the coverage rate of 70 % of the total value of their dispatches or arrivals is not reached. The Member States shall calculate these limits from the last available results for their trade with the other Member States over a 12-month period. The information relating to the introduction of these thresholds shall be published not later than 31 October 2000. Member States may adjust their thresholds every calendar year provided that the quality requirement laid down in this Article continue to be met. The Member States concerned shall publish the information relating to the adjustment of the thresholds not later than 31 October of the preceding year.
Article 20 1. A threshold value for individual transactions may be applied under conditions defined in paragraphs 2 and 3. Without prejudice to paragraph 2, this threshold shall give the parties responsible for providing information the option of entering all transactions whose value is below this threshold under a global heading of the Combined Nomenclature, in which case the application of Article 23 of the Basic Regulation shall be limited to the provision of the following data: in the case of arrivals, the Member State of dispatch, in the case of dispatches, the Member State of consignment, the value of the goods. The global heading referred to in paragraph 1 shall be identified by CN code 99500000. For the purposes of this Article, "transaction" means any operation described under Article 25(1)(a) of this Regulation. The threshold for each transaction shall be EUR 100. 2. In the context of this Article, Member States may refuse or limit application of the option provided for in paragraph 1 if they consider that the aim of maintaining a satisfactory quality of statistical information overrides the desirability of reducing the reporting burden. 3. Member States may require parties responsible for providing information to ask the national department responsible for compiling statistics on the trading of goods between Member States, in advance, to be allowed to make use of the option referred to in paragraph 1. 4. When requested to do so by the Commission, Member States shall transmit such information as is necessary for monitoring the application of this Regulation.
Article 21 Data relating to the goods listed in Annex I shall be excluded from compilation and, consequently, pursuant to Article 25(4) of the Basic Regulation, from collection.
 CHAPTER 4 STATISTICAL DATA
Article 22 In the medium for the information, the Member States whose statistical territory is described in the nomenclature of countries adopted each year pursuant to Article 9(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95OJ L 118, 25.5.1995, p. 12. shall be designated by the following codes:

Article 23 When the quantity of goods to be mentioned on the data medium is determined: (a)"net mass" means the actual mass of the good excluding all packaging. It shall be given in kilograms. However, the specification of net mass for the subheadings of the combined nomenclature set out in Annex II shall be optional for the parties responsible for providing information. In order to inform the party reponsible for providing the information about possible updates of the annex, resulting from the annual changes in the Combined Nomenclature, an explanatory note will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (C series); (b)"supplementary units" means the units measuring quantity, other than the units measuring mass expressed in kilograms. They must be mentioned in accordance with the information set out in the current version of the Combined Nomenclature, opposite the subheadings concerned, the list of which is published in Part I "Preliminary provisions" of the said nomenclature.
Article 24 1. The value of the goods referred to in Article 23(1)(d) of the Basic Regulation shall be reported in the statistical information medium on the conditions defined in paragraphs 2 and 3. 2. The value of the goods to be reported in the "invoiced amount" field in the statistical information medium shall be the taxable amount to be determined for taxation purposes in accordance with Directive 77/388/EEC. For products subject to excise duties, however, the amount of these duties should be excluded from the value of the goods. Whenever the taxable amount does not have to be declared for taxation purposes, the value of the goods to be reported shall correspond to the invoice value, excluding VAT, or, failing this, to an amount which would have been invoiced in the event of any sale or purchase. In the case of work under contract, the value of the goods to be reported, with a view to and following such operations, shall be the total amount to be invoiced in the event of any sale or purchase. 3. The statistical value of the goods, as defined in paragraph S, shall also be reported in the field provided to this end in the statistical information medium by information providers whose annual arrivals or dispatches exceed the limits set by each Member State, in accordance with Article 19. 4. By way of derogation to paragraph 3, the Member States may exempt information providers from reporting the statistical value of goods. In this case, the Member States concerned shall calculate the statistical value of goods, as defined in paragraph 5, by kinds of goods. 5. The statistical value shall be based on the goods reported by the information providers pursuant to paragraph 2. It shall include only incidental expenses, such as transport and insurance costs, referring to the part of the route which: for dispatches, is within the statistical territory of the Member State of dispatch, for arrivals, is outside the statistical territory of the Member State of arrival. 6. The value of the goods defined in the preceding paragraphs shall be expressed in the national currency, whereupon the exchange rate to be applied shall be: that applicable for determining the taxable amount for taxation purposes, when this is established, otherwise, the official rate of exchange at the time of completing the declaration or that applicable to calculating the value for customs purposes, in the absence of any special provisions decided by the Member States. 7. In accordance with Article 26 of the Basic Regulation, the value of the goods given in the results to be transmitted to the Commission shall be the statistical value defined in paragraph 5. 8. At the Commission's request, the Member States shall provide it with the information enabling it to assess the application of paragraph 3.
Article 25 1. For the purposes of this Chapter, (a)"transaction" shall mean any operation, whether commercial or not, which leads to a movement of goods covered by statistics on the trading of goods between Member States; (b)"nature of the transaction" means all those characteristics which distinguish one transaction from another. 2. A distinction shall be made between transactions which differ in nature, in accordance with the list in Annex III. The nature of the transaction shall be specified, on the information medium, by the code number corresponding to the appropriate category of column A in the abovementioned list. 3. Within the limits of the list referred to in paragraph 2, the Member States may prescribe the collection of data on the nature of the transaction up to the level which they use for the collection of data on trade third countries, regardless of whether they collect them in this connection as data on the nature of the transaction or as data on customs procedures.
Article 26 1. "Country of origin" shall mean the country where the goods originate. Goods which are entirely obtained in a country originate in that country. An item in the production of which two or more countries are involved originates in the country where the last significant processing or working, economically justified and carried out in an enterprise equipped for this purpose and leading to the manufacture of a new product or representing an important stage of manufacture, takes place. 2. The country of origin is designated by the code assigned it in the current version of the nomenclature of countries discussed in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1172/95, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 374/98OJ L 48, 19.2.1998, p. 6..
Article 27 1. "Region of origin" shall mean the region of the Member State of dispatch where the foods were produced or were erected, assembled, processed, repaired or maintained. Failing this, the region of origin shall be replaced either by the region where the commercial process took place or by the region where the goods were dispatched. 2. "Region of destination" shall mean the region of the Member States of arrival where the goods are to be consumed or erected, assembled, processed, repaired or maintained. Failing this, the region of destination shall be replaced either by the region where the commercial process is to take place or by the region to which the goods are to be dispatched. 3. Each Member State exercising the option provided for in Article 23(2)(b) of the Basic Regulation shall draw up a list of its regions and determine the code, which shall have a maximum of two characters, by which those regions shall be indicated on the information medium.
Article 28 1. For the purposes of this Regulation, "delivery terms" shall mean those provisions of the sales contract which lay down the obligations of the seller and the buyer respectively, in accordance with the Incoterms of the International Chamber of Commerce listed in Annex IV. 2. Within the limits set in Article 19 and those of the list referred to in paragraph 1, Member States may prescribe that data on delivery terms be collected on the information medium and shall give details of how they are to be mentioned.
Article 29 1. "Presumed mode of transport" shall indicate, upon dispatch, the mode of transport determined by the active means of transport by which the goods are presumed to be going to leave the statistical territory of the Member State of dispatch and, upon arrival, the mode of transport determined by the active means of transport by which the goods are presumed to have entered the statistical territory of the Member State of arrival. 2. Within the limits set in Article 19, the modes of transport to be mentioned on the information medium are as follows:
Code Title
1 Sea transport
2 Rail transport
3 Road transport
4 Air transport
5 Postal consignment
7 Fixed transport installations
8 Inland waterway transport
9 Own propulsion

 TITLE II SPECIAL PROVISIONS CHAPTER 1 DEFINITION OF SPECIFIC MOVEMENT AND GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Article 31 1. The "specific movements of goods" referred to in Article 33 of the Basic Regulation have specific features which have some significance for the interpretation of the information and stem, either from the movement as such, from the nature of the goods, from the transaction which results in the movement of the goods or from the information provider. 2. Specific movements of goods are as follows: (a)industrial plants; (b)vessels and aircraft, as defined in Chapter 3; (c)sea products; (d)ships' and aircraft's stores and supplies; (e)staggered consignments; (f)military goods; (g)offshore installations; (h)spacecraft and spacecraft launchers; (i)motor vehicle and aircraft parts; (j)waste products. 3. Subject to contrary provision in this Regulation or in the absence of provisions laid down in accordance with Article 30 of the Basic Regulation, specific movements shall be mentioned according to the relevant national provisions. 4. Without prejudice to Article 13 of the Basic Regulation, the Member States shall adopt the appropriate provisions in order to apply this Title and may use, if necessary, statistical sources other than those laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3590/92OJ L 364, 12.12.1992, p. 32..
 CHAPTER 2 INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
Article 32 1. "Complete industrial plant" means a combination of machines, apparatus, appliances, equipment, instruments and materials, hereinafter referred to as "component parts", which fall under various headings of the Harmonised System classification and which are designed to function together as a large-scale unit to produce goods or provide services. All other goods which are used in constructing a complete industrial plant may be treated as component parts thereof, provided they are not excluded from the statistical compilation by virtue of the Basic Regulation. 2. A simplified declaration procedure may be used for recording arrivals or dispatches of complete industrial plants. Those responsible for supplying the statistical information shall be authorised, at their request, to use such simplified procedure in accordance with the conditions laid down in this section. 3. The simplified procedure may be applied only to complete industrial plants, the total statistical value of each of which exceeds EUR 1,5 million, unless they are complete industrial plants for re-use. The total value of an industrial plant is calculated by adding the respective statistical values of its component parts and the respective statistical values of the goods referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1. The value to be taken into account is the invoice value of the good or, if this is not available, the amount which would be invoiced in the event of a sale or purchase.
Article 33 1. For the purposes of this chapter, component parts falling within a given chapter shall be classified under the relevant complete industrial plant subheading of Chapter 98 unless the competent department referred to in Article 35 requires the goods to be classified, in Chapter 98, under the relevant complete industrial plant subheadings of the Harmonised System classification headings, or requires the provisions of paragraph 2 to be applied. However, the simplified procedure shall not prevent the competent department from classifying certain component parts under the relevant Combined Nomenclature subheadings within the meaning of Article 1(2)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.. 2. Where the competent department referred to in paragraph 1 considers the value of the items of complete industrial plants to be too low to justify recording them under the complete industrial plant subheadings of the relevant chapters, specific complete industrial plant subheadings, as provided for in the Combined Nomenclature, shall apply.
Article 34 In accordance with the Combined Nomenclature, the code numbers for complete industrial plant subheadings shall be composed in conformity with the following rules. 1.The code shall comprise eight digits. 2.The first two digits shall be 9 and 8 respectively. 3.The third digit, which shall serve to identify complete industrial plant, shall be 8. 4.The fourth digit shall vary from 0 to 9 according to the main economic activity carried out by the complete industrial plant and in accordance with the classification given:
Code Economic activities
0 Energy (including production and distribution of steam and hot water)
1 Extraction of non-energy-producing minerals (including preparation of metalliferous ores and peat extraction); manufacture of non-metallic mineral products (including manufacture of glass and glassware)
2 Iron and steel industry; manufacture of metal articles (excluding mechanical engineering and construction of means of transport)
3 Mechanical engineering and construction of means of transport; instrument engineering
4 Chemical industry (including man-made fibres industry); rubber and plastics industry
5 Food, drink and tobacco industry
6 Textile, leather, footwear and clothing industry
7 Timber and paper industry (including printing and publishing); manufacturing industries not classified elsewhere
8 Transport (excluding services connected with transport, services of travel agents, freight brokers and other agents facilitating the transport of passengers or goods, storage and warehousing) and communications
9 Collection, purification and distribution of water; services connected with transport; economic activities not classified elsewhere.
 5.The fifth and sixth digits shall correspond to the number of the chapter of the Combined Nomenclature to which the complete industrial plant subheading relates. However, for the purposes of Article 33(2), these fifth and sixth digits shall be 9. 6.For complete industrial plant subheadings which are situated: at Combined Nomenclature chapter level, the seventh and eighth digits shall be 0, at Harmonised System heading level, the seventh and eighth digits shall correspond to the third and fourth digits of that heading. 7.The competent department referred to in Article 33(2) shall prescribe the designation and the Combined Nomenclature code number to be used in the statistical information medium to identify the component parts of a complete industrial plant.
Article 35 1. Those responsible for supplying statistical information may not use the simplified declaration procedure without the prior authorisation of the department responsible for compiling statistics on trade between Member States in accordance with the detailed rules which each Member State shall lay down within the framework of this chapter. 2. In the case of a complete industrial plant whose component parts are traded by several Member States, authorisation to use the simplified declaration procedure shall be given by each Member State for the flows which concern it.

List of transactions referred to in Article 25(2) This item covers most dispatches and arrivals, i.e. transactions in respect of which: ownership is transferred from resident to non-resident, and payment or compensation in kind is or will be made. It should be noted that this also applies to goods sent between related enterprises or from/to central distribution depots, even if no immediate payment is made. Including spare parts and other replacements made against payment. Including financial leasing: the lease instalments are calculated in such a way as to cover all or virtually all of the value of the goods. The risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee. At the end of the contract the lessee becomes the legal owner of the goods. Return and replacement dispatches of goods originally recorded under items 3 to 9 of column A should be registered under the corresponding items. Processing operations (whether or not under customs supervision) should be recorded under items 4 and 5 of column A. Processing activities on processor's own account are not covered by this item; they should be registered under item 1 of column A. Repair entails the restoration of goods to their original function; this may involve some rebuilding or enhancements. Operational leasing: leasing contracts other than financial leasing (see note (3)). This item covers goods that are exported/imported with the intention of subsequent re-import/re-export without any change of ownership taking place. The transactions recorded under item 8 of column A involve only goods which are not separately invoiced, but for which a single invoice covers the total value of the works.
