Important announcement: Transition to a new industry classification

A new version of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC2007) was implemented in January 2009. Quarterly turnover statistics for wholesale and retail trade will be affected as of the publication of figures for the first quarter of 2009 in May 2009. The most important change is that the petrol stations have been included in retail sales. For general information about the transition to the new Standard Industrial Classification click here
