MEETING OF THE
GROUP OF EXPERTS ON BUSINESS REGISTERS
3-4 September 2013, Geneva
Eurostat
Background
 MEETS 4-year program to modernise business
statistics
• ESSnet profiling
• ESSnet consistency
 Conclusion: need to change the statistical implementation of the
economic definition of enterprise
 Current projects:
• Revision of the regulation on statistical units has started
 Include implementation rules
• Implementation of European profiling is going on
 For the largest 500 groups in Europe
Eurostat
A new model of
statistical units
Why?
 To increase consistency between European
countries in business statistics
• The current definition of the enterprise is not applied
homogeneously in all EU countries
• In a lot of countries, the legal unit is used as a proxy of
the enterprise
 To take into account the globalisation of the
economy
• Current regulation on statistical units in force since 1993
• The current implementation of the enterprise' definition
does not take into account the global dimension of the
enterprises
• Statistics based on current enterprise are describing
artifacts, and are diverging from economic reality
Eurostat
A new model of
statistical units
Why?
 To take into account the globalisation of the
economy (cont'd)
• Indicators based on the legal units can lead to
misinterpretation in the frame of global enterprise
groups
 Misclassification of economic variables according to the NACE
activity code
 Double counting for some non-additive variables
 indicators relating 2 economic variables which are not “managed”
in the same legal unit
 2 dimensions to be taken into account:
• To improve the relevance of national business statistics
in the European countries
• To produce better EU statistics
Eurostat
Organisation of
enterprise groups
multinational
 Economic organisation at the worldwide level
 Global dimension: refers to the strategy of the group
 Local dimension: refers to constraints
 Splitting up of the production into several legal
units
In order to:
 Reduce costs
 Increase competitiveness
Eurostat
The new model of
statistical units
 Takes into account both domestic and global
entities
 Top down approach to delineate the enterprises
• 2 geographical levels of enterprises:
 The global enterprise
 The truncated enterprise

The new model of
statistical units
3 types of delineation:
• Use of existing data
 1 Legal unit=1ENT
 93% of LeUs
• Automatic procedures
 Small or simple groups
(DEG or GEG)
 5% of LeUs
• Profiling
 Large and complex
groups (DEG or GEG)
 2% of LeUs
Eurostat
European
profiling
Main features
 Central definition of the global and truncated
enterprises
• The country of the headquarters profiles for all the countries
involved
 2 main options for collecting data on the enterprises
• National collection (main option)
 The partnering NSIs assess the enterprises defined by the country of
the headquarters
– Delineation and characteristics
– Feasibility of data collection
• Central collection (for a long term perspective)

European
strategy
 Central organisation to help the NSIs
• Development of a web platform: the IPT
 For profilers to exchange information on groups under profiling
 For statistical users to access information on enterprises in profiled
groups
• Development of rules to smoothen the process
 Calendar for profiling cycle
 Support to NSIs in establishing an agreement for data collection with
the groups

Benefits
 European Statistical System-wide gains
• The country of the headquarters profiles for all the countries
involved
• Enterprises of one group are defined consistently for all
European business statistics
• Centrally defined enterprises made available for all national
statistics
 Benefits for respondents
• Profilers and the group talk the same language
• NSIs offer the group a central contact point
• Profiling decreases the response burden for a group
