Eurostat is the Statistical Office of the European Communities. Its mission is to pro-
vide the European Union with high-quality statistical information. For that purpose,
it gathers and analyses figures from the national statistical offices across Europe and
provides comparable and harmonised data for the European Union to use in the defi-
nition, implementation and analysis of Community policies. Its statistical products
and services are also of great value to Europe’s business community, professional
organisations, academics, librarians, NGOs, the media and citizens.
Eurostat's publications programme consists of several collections:
News releases provide recent information on the Euro-Indicators and on social,
economic, regional, agricultural or environmental topics.
Statistical books are larger A4 publications with statistical data and analysis.
Pocketbooks are free of charge publications aiming to give users a set of basic fig-
ures on a specific topic.
Statistics in focus provides updated summaries of the main results of surveys, stud-
ies and statistical analysis.
Data in focus present the most recent statistics with methodological notes.
Methodologies and working papers are technical publications for statistical
experts working in a particular field.
Eurostat publications can be ordered via the EU Bookshop at http://bookshop.
europa.eu.
All publications are also downloadable free of charge in PDF format from the Eurostat
website http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat. Furthermore, Eurostat’s databases are freely
available there, as are tables with the most frequently used and demanded short-
and long-term indicators.
Eurostat has set up with the members of the ‘European statistical system’ (ESS) a
network of user support centres which exist in nearly all Member States as well as in
some EFTA countries. Their mission is to provide help and guidance to Internet users
of European statistical data. Contact details for this support network can be found
on Eurostat Internet site.Data extracted: 24-11-2010
The Quarterly panorama of European business statistics has the objective of furnishing readers
with an instrument which will allow them to follow the evolution of short-term economic trends in
relation to the business sector of the economy (as defined by NACE Rev. 2 Sections B to N).
This is the fourth edition of the publication in 2010; it is produced by Eurostat Unit G3 – responsible
for short-term business statistics (STS). Note the STS database has switched to the NACE Rev. 2
classification and the base year for indices has generally been revised to 2005=100. The publication
will be released on a regular, quarterly basis.
The classification (NACE Rev. 2) has been modernised by introducing new detail to reflect different
forms of production and emerging industries. The detail of the classification has substantially
increased in service-producing activities. NACE Rev. 2 provides a better picture of the overall
economy and facilitates international comparisons.
The publication follows the structure of the STS Regulation, insofar as it presents a selection of key
indicators for industry, construction, retail trade and other services. Among the most important
indicators are a set of Principal European Economic Indicators (PEEIs) that are essential to the
European Central Bank for reviewing monetary policy within the euro area.
For 2010, data sources have been introduced: these may be found under each table and graph
throughout the publication. The codes that have been introduced allow the reader to easily access the
most recent data on the Eurostat website. Users are led directly to the relevant table when clicking
on these hyper-links that are composed of data code(s). The links open complete data sets in a web
browser in Eurostat’s Data Explorer application. Note that the data on the website is frequently
updated and may also be more detailed or be available in a variety of different measurement units
(these can de modified by using the Select Data tab in the application).
