REGULATION (EC) No 716/2007 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 20 June 2007
on Community statistics on the structure and activity of foreign affiliates
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank ( 1 ),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty ( 2 ),
Whereas:|
(1) |
Regular and good quality Community statistics on the structure and activity of foreign affiliates in the whole economy are essential for an adequate assessment of the impact of foreign-controlled enterprises on the European Union economy. This would also facilitate the monitoring of the effectiveness of the internal market and the gradual integration of the economies in the context of globalisation. In this context, multinational enterprises are playing a leading role, but small and medium-sized enterprises can also be concerned by foreign control. |
|
(2) |
The implementation and review of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and of the Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPs) as well as the current and future negotiations on further agreements call for the relevant statistical information to be made available in order to assist the negotiations. |
|
(3) |
For the preparation of economic, competition, enterprise, research, technical development and employment policies in the context of the liberalisation process, statistics on foreign affiliates to measure direct and indirect effects of foreign control on employment, wages and productivity in particular countries and sectors are necessary. |
|
(4) |
The information provided under existing Community legislation or available in Member States is insufficient, inadequate or insufficiently comparable to serve as a reliable basis for the work of the Commission. |
|
(5) |
Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 ( 3 ) establishes a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics on balance of payments, international trade in services and foreign direct investment. As balance of payments statistics cover only partially the data included in the GATS, it is essential that detailed statistics on foreign affiliates be produced regularly. |
|
(6) |
Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 58/97 of 20 December 1996 concerning structural business statistics ( 4 ) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 696/93 of 15 March 1993 on the statistical units for the observation and analysis of the production system in the Community ( 5 ) established a common framework for the collection, compilation, transmission and evaluation of Community statistics on the structure and activity of businesses in the Community. |
|
(7) |
The compilation of national accounts according to the Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the Community ( 6 ) requires comparable, complete and reliable business statistics on foreign affiliates. |
|
(8) |
Collectively, the Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services of the United Nations, the Balance of Payments Manual (fifth edition) of the International Monetary Fund, the Benchmark Definition on foreign direct investment and the Handbook on Economic Globalisation Indicators of the Organisation for the Economic Cooperation and Development establish the general rules for compiling international comparable statistics on foreign affiliates. |
|
(9) |
The production of specific Community statistics is governed by the rules set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics ( 7 ). |
|
(10) |
Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the creation of common statistical standards for the production of comparable statistics on foreign affiliates, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale or effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective. |
|
(11) |
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission ( 8 ). |
|
(12) |
In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to adapt the definitions in Annexes I and II and the level of detail in Annex III as well as to make any consequential changes to Annexes I and II, to implement the results of the pilot studies and to define the proper common quality standards and the contents and periodicity of the quality reports. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of, or to supplement, this Regulation by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny laid down in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC. |
|
(13) |
The Statistical Programme Committee, established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom ( 9 ), and the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics, established by Council Decision 2006/856/EC ( 10 ), have been consulted, |
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definitions apply:
(a) ‘foreign affiliate’ shall mean an enterprise resident in the compiling country over which an institutional unit not resident in the compiling country has control, or an enterprise not resident in the compiling country over which an institutional unit resident in the compiling country has control;
(b) ‘control’ shall mean the ability to determine the general policy of an enterprise by choosing appropriate directors, if necessary. In this context, enterprise A is deemed to be controlled by an institutional unit B when B controls, whether directly or indirectly, more than half of the shareholders’ voting power or more than half of the shares;
(c) ‘foreign control’ shall mean that the controlling institutional unit is resident in a different country from the one where the institutional unit over which it has control is resident;
(d) ‘branches’ shall mean local units not constituting separate legal entities, which are dependent on foreign-controlled enterprises.

(e) ‘statistics on foreign affiliates’ shall mean statistics describing the overall activity of foreign affiliates;
(f) ‘inward statistics on foreign affiliates’ shall mean statistics describing the activity of foreign affiliates resident in the compiling country;
(g) ‘outward statistics on foreign affiliates’ shall mean statistics describing the activity of foreign affiliates abroad controlled by an institutional unit resident in the compiling country;
(h) ‘ultimate controlling institutional unit of a foreign affiliate’ shall mean the institutional unit, proceeding up a foreign affiliate's chain of control, which is not controlled by another institutional unit;
(i) ‘enterprise’, ‘local unit’ and ‘institutional unit’ shall each have the same meaning as in Regulation (EEC) No 696/93.

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: — expenditures on education and training, — expenditures on other scientific and technological activities (e.g. information services, testing and standardisation, feasibility studies), — expenditures on other industrial activities (e.g. industrial innovations n.e.s.), — expenditures on purely financing activities (other administrations and other indirect supporting activities are included). 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: — Personnel employed on education and training, — Personnel employed on other scientific and technological activities (e.g. information services, testing and standardisation, feasibility studies), — Personnel employed on other industrial activities (e.g. industrial innovations n.e.s.), — Personnel employed on administration and other indirect supporting activities. Link to company accountsThe 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 variablesPart of the number of persons employed (16 11 0). |
|
(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. |
|
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 ( 12 ) and the number of persons employed (or the number of employees instead) will be compiled.
SECTION 3
