The « 2007» revision In 1999, the UN Statistical Commission mandated the beginning of the revision of the whole system. It was planned to conclude the revision by 2006, in order to publish the revised classifications in 2007. The Statistical Commission adopted ISIC Rev. 4 and CPC ver. 2 in March 2006. The HS has been revised as well and the HS 2007 is available. The EU classification NACE Rev. 2 is finalised and CPA 2008 will be by June 2006.
Principles guiding the revision of ISIC and NACE ¢ Relevance: adaptation to the technological and organisational developments of the economy ¢ Comparability: convergence between different regional and/or international classifications of economic activities ¢ Continuity: long time series necessary for economic analysis and forecast
