Important announcement: Transition to a new industry classification

A new version of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC2007) was implemented in January 2009. The most important change for the quarterly turnover statistics for wholesale and retail trade is that the petrol stations are no longer a part of Wholesale and retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles. This industry has been included in retail sales. For general information about the transition to the new Standard Industrial Classification click here
