Preliminary figures
Preliminary figures for structural statistics are only published at enterprise level. Figures for enterprises will generally show other values than the figures for local kind-of-activity units. The reason is that an enterprise that is registered in one industry may have local kind-of-activities in other industries. Please note that these are preliminary figures. Final figures will be published in June 2004.

The statistics is now published as Business statistics.
