ANNEX VII
1.Member States shall adapt where necessary the weighting system of composite indices at least every five years. The weights used in the adapted weighting systems shall be transmitted to the Commission within three years after the end of the new base year. Each index requires its own specific weights. The following table specifies for each individual variable and breakdown of the domain ‘Short Term Business Statistics’ which weighting variable to use:
| Variable and breakdowns | Weight |
|---|---|
| Registrations, bankruptcies | Number of active enterprises |
| Production (volume) | Value added |
| Net turnover, Producer prices, Volume of sales, Building permits | Net turnover |
| Domestic net turnover, producer prices | Domestic net turnover |
| Non-domestic net turnover, producer prices | Non-domestic net turnover |
| Non-domestic euro area/non-euro area net turnover, producer prices (*1) | Split of non-domestic net turnover |
| Number of employees and self-employed persons | Number of employees and self-employed persons |
| Hours worked by employees | Hours worked by employees |
| Wages and salaries | Wages and salaries |

| Euro area/non-euro area import prices (*2) | Split of import value |
| (1) Net turnover weights according to the euro area/non-euro area split are only to be transmitted by euro area countries. (2) Import value weights according to the euro area/non-euro area split are only to be transmitted by euro area countries. |
Weights should be based on the statistical unit kind-of-activity unit (KAU) except for registrations and bankruptcies for which the weights should be based on the statistical unit enterprise (ENT). Only if KAU is not available a statistical unit which serves the purpose of short term statistics might be used. All Member States (small, medium and large) have to transmit to Eurostat the breakdowns of the weights according to the breakdowns of the large countries defined in the data requirements of Annex I to this Regulation.
2.The first base year is 2015, the second base year is 2021 and the third base year is 2025. From thereon, every five years, Member States shall rebase the indices using as base years the years ending with a 0 or a 5. All indices must be rebased on the new base year within three years after the end of this new base year.

When transmitting data to the Commission (Eurostat) in accordance with Article 10 paragraphs (2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152, the NSAs shall flag data which are confidential in accordance with national legislation.
In order to ensure the consistency of data, the Commission (Eurostat) shall, exclusively for statistical purposes, transmit in accordance with Article 10 paragraphs (2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152, to the NSAs of Member States other than the reporting country, the data sets of variables specified in part B, C and D of the Section 3, including confidentiality flags, concerning multinational enterprise groups and their constituent units. In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152, the data sets specified in part C shall be limited to multinational enterprise groups for which at least one unit of the group is located in the territory of that Member State.
The data sets of variables specified in part C of the Section 3, including confidentiality flags, may be transmitted in accordance with Article 10(4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152, for statistical purposes only, by the Commission (Eurostat) to the national central banks and the European Central Bank, provided that the transmission is explicitly authorised by the national authority and that, in the case of data transmitted to a national central bank, at least one unit of a multinational enterprise group is located in the territory of the Member State of that national central bank.
Section 2
Security measures
The Commission (Eurostat) and the NSAs shall store the data that have been flagged as confidential by the NSAs, in accordance with Section 1, in a secure area with restricted and controlled access. The NSAs shall on request provide information for the Commission (Eurostat) on the security measures applied in the Member State. The Commission (Eurostat) shall pass on this information to the other Member States. The Commission (Eurostat) shall on request provide information on its security measures to the NSAs.
Any transmission of confidential data under this Regulation to ESCB members shall take place only after the ESCB members, within their respective spheres of competence and under their responsibility, have taken the necessary measures in line with Article 8a and 8b of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 (10) to ensure:
— the protection of this data, in particular the storage of data that has been flagged as confidential in a secure area with restricted and controlled access,
— that the data are used exclusively for statistical purposes,

The format set out in part A of this Section, shall be used for the data transmitted under Article 10 paragraphs (2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 and further specified in Annex IV to this Regulation.
The data and metadata for the EuroGroups register shall be transmitted using the ESS data and metadata standards as specified by the Commission (Eurostat).
Standardisation of data record structures is fundamental for efficient data processing. It is a necessary step towards providing data conforming to the exchange standards specified by the Commission (Eurostat).
Data is sent as a set of records (data set).
In accordance with Article 9(5) to this Regulation confidential data has to be sent with the true value being recorded in the value field and a flag indicating that the data is confidential.
Unless otherwise specified monetary data has to be expressed in thousands of national currency units (euro for the countries of the euro area). For countries acceding to the euro the provisions of Article 10(6) to this Regulation shall apply as to the first year for reporting in euro.
1. Data set identifier
All data sets that the Commission (Eurostat) and the NSAs transmit shall be identified by applying the naming convention specified in the detailed documentation and guidelines regarding the exchange standards that the Commission (Eurostat) makes available.
2. Data sets and definition of fields
Parts A, B, C and D of this Section give the contents of the data sets that the Commission (Eurostat) and the NSAs shall transmit. The data set technical names, structure, fields, codes and attributes to be used shall be included in the most recent version of the guidelines for the European framework for statistical business registers as specified by the Commission (Eurostat).

Items marked ‘partially conditional’ are mandatory except those parts of the item that are explicitly mentioned to be conditional.
The data processing of the EuroGroups Register is a cyclical process, which the Commission (Eurostat) starts centrally. At the end of each cycle a population frame shall be available for compilers of statistics in Member States.
At the beginning of each cycle the Commission (Eurostat) transmits data sets with relevant metadata to the NSAs to ensure that in all countries the same metadata are available and used.
For the purpose of identification the NSAs shall transmit information to the Commission (Eurostat) on their resident incorporated legal units for the EGR Identification Service. The NSAs shall transmit the following data set with identification information of resident incorporated legal units including confidentiality flags.

Another step of the data processing is the integration of information coming from different Member States and other data providers centrally at the Commission (Eurostat). This information refers to control and ownership of legal units and to the statistical unit enterprise.
The subsequent stage of the processing is the compilation of enterprise groups by the Commission (Eurostat). The results of this compilation will be transmitted by the Commission (Eurostat) to the NSAs of Member States in the data sets defined in Parts C and D of this Section.
For the corrections of enterprise group structures the NSAs shall transmit data sets with information on missing or invalid relationships including confidentiality flags. The format shall follow the format of the data set with information on relationships defined in point 2.3. of this Section.
The NSAs shall transmit to the Commission (Eurostat) the following data set with identification information of multinational enterprise groups when the global decision centre of the group is located in the territory of the Member State.
