THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91 of 19 December 1991 on the establishment of a Community survey of industrial production1, and in particular Article 2(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91 requires Member States to carry out a Community survey of industrial production.

(2)

The survey of industrial production must be based on a list of products identifying the industrial production to be surveyed.

(3)

A list of products is necessary to permit alignment between production statistics and external trade statistics and to afford comparison with the Community product nomenclature CPA.

(4)

The list of products required by Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91, referred to as the ‘Prodcom list’, is common to all Member States, and is necessary in order to compare data across Member States.

(5)

The Prodcom list needs to be updated; it is therefore necessary to establish the list for 2012.

(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee established by Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European statistics2,
