Regulation (EC) No 48/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Councilof 5 December 2003on the production of annual Community statistics on the steel industry for the reference years 2003-2009
Article 1ObjectiveThe objective of this Regulation is to establish a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics on the steel industry for the reference years 2003-2009.
Article 2DefinitionsFor the purpose of this Regulation, the terms "Community statistics" and "production of statistics" shall bear the meanings given to them by Regulation (EC) No 322/97.
Article 3ScopeThis Regulation shall cover data on the steel industry, which is defined as group 24.1 of the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2).Where the value-added at factor cost of the enterprises in a Member State's steel industry represents less than 1 % of the Community total, the data on the characteristics need not be collected.
Article 4CharacteristicsThe data supplied, which shall conform to the format set out in the Annex, shall relate to kind-of-activity unit characteristics as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 696/93 of 15 March 1993 on the statistical units for the observation and analysis of the production system in the CommunityOJ L 76, 30.3.1993, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003. and to enterprises having 50 or more employees.
Article 5Time reference and periodicityMember States shall compile on an annual basis the data specified in the Annex for the first time for the year 2003 and for each year thereafter until 2009.
Article 6Transmission of data1.Member States shall transmit to the Commission (Eurostat) data and metadata on the steel industry aggregated over the units referred to in Article 4. The transmission shall include confidential data in accordance with the existing Community provisions on the transmission of data subject to confidentiality.2.Member States shall transmit the data and metadata in electronic form. Transmission shall conform to an appropriate interchange standard approved in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2).
