Number of enterprises |
12 11 0 |
Turnover |
12 12 0 |
Production value |
12 15 0 |
Value added at factor cost |
13 11 0 |
Total purchases of goods and services |
13 12 0 |
Purchases of goods and services purchased for resale in the same condition as received |
13 31 0 |

The following characteristics will also be compiled by Member States for the 2009 reference year and subsequent years:
Code |
Title and definition |
||||||||
22 11 0 |
Total intramural R&D expenditure (*1) Research and experimental development comprise creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. Intramural expenditures are all expenditures for R&D (research and development) performed within the unit, regardless of the source of funds. R&D must be distinguished from expenditures for a wide range of related activities. The following are therefore excluded from R&D expenditure:
Research and development expenditure may, depending upon national laws, be recorded in one of three places: movements in intangible assets, movements in tangible assets or operating expenditure. If under national law it may be partly or completely capitalised the expenditure is included in the movement of the intangible assets included in company accounts under Fixed assets — intangible assets — costs of research and development. If under national law it is only partially capitalised or not capitalised at all, the current expenditure is part of Raw materials and consumables, other external charges, staff costs and other operating charges and the capital expenditure is included in the movement of the tangible assets included in company accounts under Fixed assets — tangible assets. |
||||||||
22 12 0 |
Total number of R&D personnel (*1) Research and experimental development comprise creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. All persons employed directly on research & development (R&D) should be counted, as well as those providing direct services such as R&D managers, administrators and clerical staff. Those persons providing an indirect service, such as canteen and security staff, should be excluded, even though their wages and salaries are included as an overhead in the measurement of expenditure. R&D personnel must be distinguished from personnel for a wide range of related activities. The following are therefore excluded from R&D personnel:
Link to company accounts The total number of research and development personnel may not be isolated in company accounts. It is part of the number of persons employed which is recorded in the notes on the company accounts (Article 43(8)). Link to other variables Part of the number of persons employed (16 11 0 ). |
If the number of persons employed is not available, the number of employees (code 16 13 0) will be compiled instead.
Characteristics “total intramural R&D expenditure” (code 22 11 0) and “total number of R&D personnel” (code 22 12 0) are only required to be compiled for activities in NACE sections B, C, D, E and F. Up to reference year 2009, Member States will compile these characteristics as defined in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2700/98 of 17 December 1998.
For NACE section K only the number of enterprises, turnover (2) and the number of persons employed (or the number of employees instead) will be compiled.
(2) For NACE Rev. 2 division 64 turnover will be replaced by production value.’ ”
(1) OJ L 344, 18.12.1998, p. 49. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1670/2003 (OJ L 244, 29.9.2003, p. 74).
(*1) Variables 22 11 0 and 22 12 0 shall be reported every second year. If the total amount of turnover or the number of persons employed in a division of NACE Rev. 2 Sections B to F represents, in a Member State, less than 1 % of the Community total, the information necessary for the compilation of statistics relating to characteristics 22 11 0 and 22 12 0 need not be collated for the purposes of this Regulation.
