Whereas:

(1)

In order to facilitate the transmission of information from the Member States to the Commission (Eurostat), technical formats covering concepts, processes, including data and metadata, should be put in place for the transmission of information.

(2)

For the purpose of assessing the quality of statistics to be transmitted for the domain use of information and communication technologies, the detailed arrangements for the quality reports should be specified.

(3)

The Member States and the Union institutions should use for the categories of the characteristics listed in the Annex of this Regulation, where appropriate, the statistical classifications for the territorial units, education, occupation and economic sector that are compatible with the NUTS (2), ISCED (3), ISCO (4) and NACE (5) classifications.

(4)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
