COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 446/2014
of 2 May 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning structural business statistics, and Commission Regulations (EC) No 251/2009 and (EU) No 275/2010, as regards the series of data to be produced and the criteria for evaluation of the quality of structural business statistics
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 concerning structural business statistics (1), and in particular Article 11(2)(a), (b), (d), (e) and (j) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 of the European Parliament and the Council established a common framework for the collection, transmission and evaluation of European statistics on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of businesses in the Union. |
(2) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 251/2009 (2) established the frequency of the compilation of the multiannual structural business statistics and the breakdown of the results for the production of structural business statistics in order to produce data comparable and harmonised between Member States. |
(3) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 275/2010 (3) laid down the criteria for the evaluation of quality and the contents of the quality reports to be provided by the Member States. |
(4) |
It is necessary to update the list of characteristics by specifying data series on the demography of enterprises with at least one employee to respond to the need for increased international comparability of results, especially for statistics on entrepreneurship. The first reference year, the frequency and the breakdown of results for these characteristics should also be established. Therefore, Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 251/2009 should be amended accordingly. |
(5) |
Experience has shown that the characteristics established in Annexes V to VII to Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 are not needed at the current annual frequency. The frequency should therefore be adapted to a compilation once every 10 years. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 251/2009 should be amended accordingly. |
(6) |
The quality reports on the statistics compiled pursuant to Annexes V to VII of Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 are no longer needed on a yearly basis. Their frequency should therefore be adapted to a submission every 10 years in line with the data requirements. The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 275/2010 should be amended accordingly. |
(7) |
For the purposes of ensuring a better monitoring of progress in innovation in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy, Union and national stakeholders have called for a single integrated indicator. This indicator is, inter alia, meant to benchmark employment in innovative, high-growth enterprises across Europe and internationally. Providing the data underlying this new indicator is urgent so as to allow its use in the European Semester 2014. Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 should thus be amended accordingly. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annexes I, V, VI, VII and IX to Regulation (EC) No 295/2008 are amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.

Done at Brussels, 2 May 2014.
