EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

Statistics (Survey of Industrial Commodities Production) Order 2008.

The Industrial Commodities Production survey is known as Prodcom (the title comes from the French term ‘‘PRODuction COMmunitaire’’ (Community Production). It is a statutory inquiry carried out in compliance with EU council regulation No 3924/91 on an annual basis. It details the value and volume of products manufactured by Industrial Enterprises in Ireland and sold during the reference year.

The survey covers all Industrial Enterprises with 3 or more persons engaged in industrial production or industrial services in mining, quarrying and manufacturing.

Customised questionnaires are issued to enterprises on an annual basis and information is sought at a detailed level on the value and volume of products sold. The details returned are classified by reference to the Prodcom classification - where products are grouped by NACE classification - an EU system for classifying economic activity. Individual products are further classified by Prodcom code. This is an eight digit code in the form of XX.XX.XX.YY. The first four digits correspond to NACE Rev. 1. The first six digits are the Community Classification of Products by Activity (CPA) codes. The last two digits provide a more detailed breakdown of the CPA classes into PRODCOM product activities.
