Deviation between preliminary and final figures
Comparison between preliminary and final figures in 2006 shows that the preliminary figures for number of enterprises within Real estate, renting and business activities as a total have been 0.5 per cent higher compared with the final figures. The preliminary figures for turnover have been 1.7 per cent higher than the final figures. Concerning the employment figures, the preliminary data were respectively 0.5 per cent higher than the final figures.
Preliminary figuresThe preliminary figures for structural statistics are published only on enterprise level. In general, the figures for enterprises will show other values than the figures for local kind-of-activity units. This is due to the fact that an enterprise registered with its main activity in one industry may have local kind-of-activity units in other industries. Only figures for the number of enterprises, employees and turnover on a 3-digit industrial level are published. The data have not been as thoroughly revised as they will be at the publishing of the final figures in May 2009. |
