Revision of industriesThe industry division computer and related activities divide the enterprises in 6 different groups, according to value added in different services. Most of the enterprises have activities within more groups, and how much they earn from the different services can vary from one year to the next. This makes the industry placing difficult. A revision of industries in the Central Register of Establishments and Enterprises, has caused large enterprises to be moved to other industry groups, which has reflected the figures. The group data processing showed a large increase in turnover from 2004 to 2005, but this could largely be attributed to a movement within the division. Thus it did not have an effect on the total figures for computer and related activities. |
