The statistics have been republished for the period 2019-2021 with a new activity limit that includes economically active companies and with more economic units that have been implemented in the General Enterprise Statistics. Several industries are affected by this. There is thus no direct comparability with the previous time series covering the period 2000-2021.
The statistics supplement the General Enterprise Statistics with information on foreign-owned enterprises.
Every year figures are submitted to the statistical office of EU, Eurostat. This includes special industry aggregates, not published nationally.
Comparability - geographical
Every year figures are submitted to the statistical office of EU, Eurostat. This includes special industry aggregates, not published nationally. Data for all EU countries can be found in the Eurostat database. The statistics are produced following the principles of an EU regulation, so the results are comparable.
Comparability over time
The statistics exists from the year 2000, but with several methodological changes. The Statbank covers the older discontinued time series from 2004-2021. The statistics are revised with a new activity threshold, from 2019 onwards, and several large enterprises are now defined as economic units as is the case in the general enterprise statistics.
