      DIRECTIVE 2008/31/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

   of 11 March 2008
   amending Directive 98/8/EC concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market, as regards the implementing powers conferred on the Commission
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
   Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) provides that certain measures are to be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4).

               (2)

               Decision 1999/468/EC has been amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced the regulatory procedure with scrutiny for the adoption of measures of general scope and designed to amend non-essential elements of a basic instrument adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, inter alia, by deleting some of those elements or by supplementing the instrument with new non-essential elements.

               (3)

               In accordance with the statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (5) concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny to be applicable to instruments adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty which are already in force, those instruments must be adjusted in accordance with the applicable procedures.

               (4)

               The Commission should be empowered to adopt common conditions on research and development, to adapt the annexes and to adopt the review programme. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 98/8/EC, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

               (5)

               Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               Since the amendments made to Directive 98/8/EC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 94/23/EC of 8 June 1994 amending, with the view to fixing the minimum standards for testing vehicle braking systems, Council Directive 77/143/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to roadworthiness  tests for motor vehicles and their trailersTHE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,  Having regard to Council Directive 77/143/EEC of 29 December 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by Directive 92/55/EEC (2), and in  particular Article 5a (2) thereof,  Having regard to Council Directive 71/320/EEC of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the braking devices of certain categories of motor vehicles and of their trailers (3), as last amended by Directive  91/422/EEC (4),  Whereas Directive 77/143/EEC provides for the regular roadworthiness testing of all categories of vehicles listed in Annex I thereto;  Whereas that Directive provides for the adoption by the Council of separate directives necessary to define the minimum standards and methods for testing the items listed in Annex II thereto and the establishment of a committee to advise the Commission  before it adopts the amendments which are necessary to adopt the standards and methods defined in the separate directives to technical progress;  Whereas Directive 77/143/EEC, as amended in particular by Council Directive 92/54/EEC (5), defines the minimum standards for testing vehicle braking systems;  Whereas it is necessary to adapt these standards to technical progress to include minimum braking efficiency values so as to ensure, as far as practicable, that vehicles in service are safe as far as braking efficiency is concerned;  Whereas, until such time there are harmonized test procedures and practices, Member States may use their judgement as to the test procedure they use to establish whether the vehicle in question meets the braking requirements;  Whereas it is recognized by all concerned with vehicle testing that the method of testing and, in particular whether the vehicle is tested in a laden, part laden or unladen condition, influences the degree of confidence testers have as to the  roadworthiness of the braking system;  Whereas the prescription of brake force reference values for various laden conditions for each vehicle model would help restore that confidence, whereas this Directive enables testing under this regime as an alternative to testing against minimum  performance values for each vehicle category;  Whereas it is the intention to further amend this Directive so as to include a harmonious and improved test methodology;  Whereas the scope of this Directive relates in the main to vehicles which have been type-approved to the provisions of Directive 71/320/EEC although it is recognized that certain types of vehicle have been approved to national standards which may differ  from the requirements of this Directive; whereas Member States may establish their own testing standards regarding brake efficiency for vehicles that are considered to be of historic interest;  Whereas, in recognizing the right of Member States to establish their own standards for historic vehicles, those standards sould not be more severe than those which the vehicle was originally designed to meet;  Whereas, in view of the effects of such adaptations on the sector in question, in Community measures provided for by this Directive are necessary to attain the objectives sought, namely harmonization at Community level of the rules on roadworthiness  tests and to improver road safety; whereas this cannot adequately be achieved by the Member States individually;  Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directive on Motor Vehicle Roadworthiness Testing, establishing pursuant to Article 5b of Directive  77/143/EEC,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:   Article 1  Annex II to Directive 77/143/EEC is hereby amended as follows:   "" ID="1">1.2.1. Performance (progressively increased to maximum effort)> ID="2">- Inadequate braking effort on one or more wheels"> ID="2">- Braking effort from any wheel is less than 70 % of the highest recorded effort from another wheel on  the same axle. In the case of brake testing on the road then the vehicle's deviation from a straight line is excessive"> ID="2">- No gradual variation of brake effort (grabbing)"> ID="2">- Abnormal time lag in brake operation at any wheel"> ID="2">-  Excessive fluctuation of brake effort due to distort discs or oval drums"> ID="1">1.2.2.

Efficiency> ID="2">- For all vehicle categories, a braking ratio less than 50 % (11) of the service  brake performance defined in 1.2.2 in relation to the maximum authorized mass or, in the case of semi-trailers, to the sum of the authorized axle loads"> ID="1">1.4.2. Efficiency> ID="2">- For all vehicle categories, a braking ratio less than 16 % in  relation to the maximum authorized mass, or, for motor vehicles, less than 12 % in relation to the maximum authorized combination mass of the vehicle, whichever is greater'.""> Article 2 Member States shall apply suitable procedures to establish, as far as practicable, that the brake performance of the vehicles registered in their territory meet the requirements specified in Directive 77/143/EEC.   Article 3  Member States may require higher braking efficiency minima and may include testing against higher laden weights, than those specified in Annex II for those vehicles registered in their territory, provided such requirements do not exceed those  of the vehicle's original type-approval.   Article 4  Member States may, after consulting the Commission, establish their own testing standards regarding brake efficiency for vehicles that are considered to be of historic interest.   Article 5  1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 January 1997. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.  When these provisions are adopted by Member States, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shalll be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for making such reference shall be adopted by Member  States.  2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the provisions of national law which they adopt in this field governed by this Directive.

Council Directive 72/211/EEC of 30 May 1972 concerning coordinated statistics on the business cycle in industry and small craft industries

Official Journal L 128 , 03/06/1972 P. 0028 - 0029 Finnish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 2 P. 0097  Danish special edition: Series I Chapter 1972(II) P. 0466  Swedish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 2 P. 0097  English special edition: Series I Chapter 1972(II) P. 0484  Greek special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 1 P. 0244  Spanish special edition: Chapter 16 Volume 1 P. 0024  Portuguese special edition Chapter 16 Volume 1 P. 0024

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 30 May 1972 concerning coordinated statistics on the business cycle in industry and small craft industries (72/211/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof;  Having regard to the draft submitted by the Commission;  Whereas the Commission, in order to carry out the tasks entrusted to it under the Treaty, must have at its disposal coherent statistics, comparable as between States, on the economic situation of industry and small craft industries in Member States;  Whereas, as regards statistics for the study of business-cycle and economic developments, the Council, in its Recommendation of 28 July 1966 to the Member States on certain provisions to be adopted for improving business-cycle statistics, pointed out that there were significant gaps in those statistics and stressed the need for improvement ; whereas the Conjunctural Policy Committee, in its Opinion of 22 July 1969 on the implementation of that Recommendation, noted that some of the suggestions made in the Recommendation had indeed been put into effect, but that - particularly as regards industry - certain data essential to analysis and to the formulation of conjunctural policy were still not available in most Member States ; whereas the Committee therefore pointed to certain statistical data on industry referred to in the Council Recommendation which should first be obtained so as to provide a basis for monthly business-cycle statistics, and thus, at least partially, fill the existing gaps;  Whereas valid comparisons cannot be drawn from statistics unless these are based on coordinated definitions and methods;  Whereas the increasing international interpenetration and interdependence not only of industrial and small craft undertakings and of competing markets but also of business conditions and economic policies now require that statistics on industry and small craft industries be compiled for the purpose of examining business-cycle and economic developments in the Communities ; whereas these statistics also provide invaluable information for coordinating short-term economic policy with medium-term economic objectives;  Whereas it is hoped that short-term statistics on industry and small craft industries will provide extensive information for the overall study of general economic trends and relations and also reveal the business-cycle trends in the various branches of industry ; whereas they ought, therefore, to help in making possible the analysis of disturbances and discrepancies in certain markets of the Communities ; and of their rate of growth or regression, and this requires a breakdown of statistics by branch of industry;  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 The Member States shall, in technical cooperation with the Commission, take all necessary steps for collecting on the basis of coordinated definitions and methods the quantitative statistical data required for the study of the business-cycle and economic trends in industry and small craft industries. Preparatory work must be completed by the end of 1972 at the latest, so that the first results may be communicated to the Commission.   Article 2 The statistics shall cover the industrial activities listed in Divisions 1 to 4 of the Nomenclature of Economic  Activities in the European Communities (NACE, 1970 edition). They must at least cover undertakings employing 20 or more persons. In order that results may be promptly available, individual basic data may be collected on a representative basis.  The statistical unit shall be the economic activity unit. For the purposes of the Communities, presentation of these statistics shall be based on NACE.   Article 3 These statistics, broken down by branch of industry and grouped under the main sectors of production of significance for cyclical and economic analysis, for example:  - industries producing capital goods;   - industries producing consumer goods;   - industries producing intermediate and semi-finished products;     shall relate to the following variables:  - monthly:  1. index numbers of industrial production;   2. turnover;   3. orders received, broken down into domestic and export orders;   - initially at least quarterly:  4.  gross wages and salaries;   5. number of employees, specifying the number of manual workers;   6. volume of work done.     Statistics on orders, referred to under item 3, shall relate only to those branches of industry for which an observation of orders provides significant information for the study of markets and production trends.  These branches, which must be uniformly covered by all Member States, are the branches of the following industries : the metal-working industry (NACE 31 to 37), the textile industry (NACE 43), the man-made fibres industry (NACE 26), the footwear and clothing industries (NACE 45), the wood and wooden furniture industries (NACE 46), the paper and paper products industries (NACE 471 and 472).   Article 4 A subsequent Council Directive shall, on the basis of coordinated definitions and methods, law down the measures required for the drawing up of statistics necessary for the study of economic and business-cycle trends in the construction industry-making use, if necessary, of variables other than those referred to in Article 3 ; the Directive shall also specify the frequency with which these statistics must be produced.   Article 5 The Member States shall all appropriate steps to reduce to a minimum the time needed for carrying out surveys and for processing and calculating data, in order that the results of the statistics may be available to the Commission as soon as possible.   Article 6 The cost of compiling these statistics in the Member States shall be borne by the national budgets.   Article 7 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.     Done at Brussels, 30 May 1972.  For the Council  The President  J.P. BUCHLER

ANNEX II  AMENDMENTS TO ANNEX I TO DIRECTIVE 70/220/EEC  1. The following text is inserted at the beginning of 2.2.:  1.2 // '2.2.   // "Reference mass" means the mass of the vehicle in running order less the uniform mass of the driver of 75 kg and increased by a uniform mass of 100 kg.'  2. 3.2.4. is replaced by the following:  1.2 // '3.2.4.   // in the case of vehicles equipped with positive ignition engines, a statement of whether either 5.1.2.1 (restricted orifice) or 5.1.2.2 (marking) applies, and in the latter case, a description of the marking.'  3. 5.1.2.1 and 5.1.2.2 are added as follows:  1.2 // '5.1.2.1.   // Subject to 5.1.2.2, the inlet orifice of the fuel tank shall be so designed that it prevents the tank from being filled from a petrol pump delivery nozzle which has an external diameter of 23,6 mm or greater.   // 5.1.2.2.  // 5.1.2.1 does not apply to a vehicle in respect of which both of the following conditions are satisfied, that is to say -   // 5.1.2.2.1.   // that the vehicle is so designed and constructed that no device designed to control the emission of gaseous pollutants shall be adversely affected by leaded petrol, and   // 5.1.2.2.2.   // that it is conspicuously, legibly and indelibly marked with the symbol for unleaded petrol (4.26) specified in ISO 2757-1985 (1) in a position immediately visible to a person filling the fuel tank. Additional marking shall be permitted.'  (1) Reproduced as figure 22 of Annex II to Directive 78/316/EEC.  ANNEX III  AMENDMENTS TO ANNEX I TO DIRECTIVE 72/245/EEC  8 is added as follows:  1.2 // '8.   // EXTENSION OF EEC TYPE APPROVAL   // 8.1.  // Vehicle types modified to run on unleaded petrol  // 8.1.1.   // Approval of a vehicle type modified and/or adjusted solely for the purpose of making it capable of running on unleaded petrol, as specified in Directive 85/210/EEC, shall be extended when the manufacturer certifies, subject to the radio interference suppression for the modified vehicles remain within the limits for conformity of production, as specified in 9 to this Annex.   // 8.2.   // Vehicles types modified for any other purpose   // 8.2.1.   // Approval of a vehicle type may be extended to vehicle types differing with regard to the characteristics listed in 2.2 to this Annex if the authority granting type approval considers that the modification made are not likely to have any substantial adverse effect on the radio interference suppression of the vehicle.'  ANNEX IV  AMENDMENTS TO ANNEX V TO DIRECTIVE 72/306/EEC  Annex V is replaced by the following:  'TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF REFERENCE FUEL PRESCRIBED FOR APPROVAL TESTS AND TO VERIFY CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION  CEC reference fuel RF-03-A-84 (1) (3) (7)  1.2.3 //  //  //  //  // Limits and units  // ASTM method  //    //   //   // Cetan number (4)   // min 49 max 53   // D 613   // Density 15 °C (Kg/1)   // min 0,835 max 0,845   // D 1298   // Destillation (2) 50 % 90 % FBP   // min 245 °C min 320 °C max 340 °C max 370 °C   // D 86   // Flash point  // min 55 °C   // D 93   // CFPP   // min - max - 5 °C   // EN 116 (CEN)   // Viscosity 40 °C   // min 2,5 mm2/S max 3,5 mm2/S   // D 445   // Sulphur content   // min (to be reported)  // D 1266/D 2622 D 2785   //   // max 0,3 % mass   //  // Copper corrosion   // max 1   // D 130   // Conradson carbon residue (10 % DR)   // max 0,2 % mass   // D 189  // Ash content   // max 0,01 % mass   // D 482   // Water content   // max 0,05 % mass   // D 95/D 1744  // Neutralization (strong acid) number   // max 0,2 mg KPH/g  //   // Oxidation stability (6)   // max 2,5 mg/100 m   // D 2274   // Additives (5)   //   //   // Carbon-hydrogen ratio  // (to be reported)   //   //    //   //  (1) Equivalent ISO methods will be adopted when issued all properties listed above.  (2) The figures quoted show the evaporated quantities (percentage recovered + percentage loss).  (3) The values quoted in the specification are 'true values'. In estabishment of their limit values the terms of ASTM D 3244 'Defining a basis for petroleum product quality disputes' have been applied and in fixing a maximum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility).  Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for statistical reasons, the manufacturer of fuel should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify the question as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specification, the terms of ASTM D 3244 be applied.  (4) The range for cetane is note in accordance with the requirement of a minimum range of 4R. However, in cases of dispute between fuel supplier and fuel user, the terms of ASTM D 3244 can be used to resolve such disputes provided replicate measurements, of sufficient number to achieve the necessary precision, are made in preference to single determinations.  (5) This fuel should be based on straight run and cracked hydrocarbon distillate components only; desulphurization is allowed. It must not contain any metallic additives or cetane improver additives.  (6) Even though oxidation stability is controlled, it is likely that shell life will be limited. Advice should be sought from the supplier as to storage conditions and life. (7) If it is required to calculate thermal efficiency of an engine or vehicle, the calorific value of the fuel can be calculated from:  Specific energy (calorific value) (net) MJ/kg =  (46,423 - 8,792d2 + 3,170d) (1 - (x+y+s)) + 9,420s - 2,499x  1.2.3 // where:   // d   // = the density at 15 °C,   //  // x   // = the proportion by mass of water (%/100),   //  // y   // = the proportion by mass of ash (%/100),   //   // s   // = the proportion by mass of sulphur (%/100).'  ANNEX V  AMENDMENTS TO ANNEX I TO DIRECTIVE 80/1268/EEC  1. 3.1.1 is amended as follows:  Delete 'as last amended by Directive 78/665/EEC'  2. 7 is added as follows:  1.2 // '7.   // EXTENSION OF EEC TYPE APPROVAL   // 7.1.  // Vehicle types modified to run on unleaded petrol  // 7.1.1.   // Subject to the approval of the authority granting type approval, approval of a vehicle type modified and/or adjusted solely for the purpose of making it capable of running on unleaded petrol, as specified in Directive 85/210/EEC, shall be extended under the following alternative conditions:   // 7.1.1.1.   // The manufacturer shall certify that the fuel consumption for each test condition does not exceed by more than 5 % the figure obtained with the original, unmodified, type approved vehicle. In this case the extension shall confirm the figures the original type approval, or.  // 7.1.1.2.   // The manufacturer shall declare a revised fuel consumption figure for any of the three test conditions which exceeds by more than 5 % the figure obtained with the original, unmodified, type approved vehicle. In this case the extension shall specify the newly declared figures as applicable to the modified vehicle type.   // 7.2.   // Vehicle types modified for any other purpose   // 7.2.1.   // Approval of a vehicle type may be extended to vehicle types differing with regard to the characteristics listed in Annex II if the authority granting type approval considers that the modifications made are not likely to have any substantial adverse effect on the fuel consumption of the vehicle.'  ANNEX VI  AMENDMENTS TO ANNEX I TO DIRECTIVE 88/1269/EEC  1. 8 is replaced by:  1.2 // '8.   // EXTENSION OF EEC TYPE APPROVAL   // 8.1.  // Vehicle types modified to run on unleaded petrol  // 8.1.1.   // Subject to the approval of the authority granting type approval, approval of a vehicle type modified and/or adjusted solely for the purpose of making it capable of running on unleaded petrol, as specified in Directive 85/210/EEC, shall be extended under the following alternative conditions:   // 8.1.1.1.   // The manufacturer shall certify that the engine power of the modified vehicle shall remain within the limits for conformity of production, as specified in 9.2 as obtained with the original, unmodified, type approved vehicle. In this case the extension shall confirm the power of the original type approval, or   // 8.1.1.2.   // The manufacturer shall declare a revised engine power figure which is less than that obtained with the original, unmodified type approved vehicle. In this case the extension shall specify the newly declared figures as applicable to the modified vehicle type.   // 8.2.   // Vehicle types modified for any other purpose   //   // Any other modification of the engine with regard to the characteristics listed in Appendix 1 or Apendix 2 to this Annex shall be reported to the competent authority. That authority may then either:   // 8.2.1.   // consider that the modifications made are not likely to have any substantial effect on the power of the engine, or   // 8.2.2.   // request a further determination of engine power through the carrying-out of such tests as are deemed necessary.'  2. 9 is replaced by:  1.2 // '9.   // TOLERANCES FOR MEASURING THE NET POWER  // 9.1.   // The net power indicated by the manufacturer for the type of engine shall be accepted if it does not differ by more than ± 2 % for maximum power and more than ± 4 % at, the other measurement points on the curve with a tolerance of ± 1,5 % for engine speed, from the values measured by the technical service on the engine submitted for testing.   // 9.2  // During the tests to verify conformity of production the power shall be measured at two engine speeds S1 and S2 corresponding respectively to the measurement points of maximum power and maximum torque accepted for type approval. At these two engine speeds, which are subject to a tolerance of + 5 %, the net power measured at at least one point within the ranges S1 ± 5 % and S2 ± 5 % shall not differ by more than ± 5 % from the approval figure'.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 13 February 1978  concerning coordinated statistics on the business cycle in building and civil engineering  (78/166/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 213 thereof,  Having regard to Council Directive 72/211/EEC of 30 May 1972 concerning coordinated statistics on the business cycle in industry and small craft industries (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,  Having regard to the draft Directive submitted by the Commission,  Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks entrusted to it under the Treaty, the Commission must have at its disposal coherent statistical documentation, comparable as between States, on the overall short-term economic development of industry and small craft industries in Member States;  Whereas the statistics to be drawn up pursuant to the aforesaid Directive cover only the energy sector, mining and quarrying and the manufacturing industries and exclude building and civil engineering;  Whereas building and civil engineering constitute a highly important sector of industry occupying a key position within the economic structure;  Whereas the increasing international involvement and interdependence of business cycles and economic policies require that a body of statistical data should be available whereby short-term developments in all sectors of the economy may be followed and appropriate and coordinated measures taken within the framework of the short and medium-term economic objectives;  Whereas such data on building and civil engineering ought also to allow analysis of any disturbances or discrepancies and of any intensive growth or recession in partial markets, which presupposes a breakdown of certain statistics into both "building" and "civil engineering";  Whereas the statistics available in the different Member States on short-term economic developments in building and civil engineering are insufficient or insufficiently comparable to serve as a valid basis for the work of the Commission;  Whereas, in order to facilitate the implementation of the proposed provisions, certain time-limits should be laid down for providing the necessary statistical information;  Whereas account should be taken of the fact that the regulations and administrative practices pertaining to building permits differ from one Member State to another;  Whereas, in view of the nature of the structure of employment in building and civil engineering in any given Member State, data obtainable on the volume of work may not be sufficiently significant in assessing the short-term business cycle in the sector in question,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 The Member States, in technical cooperation with the Commission, shall take all necessary steps for collecting, on the basis of coordinated definitions and methods, the quantitative statistical data required for the study of the business cycle and economic trends in building and civil engineering.   Article 2 The statistics shall cover building and civil engineering activities as defined in Division 5 of the "General Industrial Classification of Economic Activities within the European Communities" (NACE), 1970 edition.  They shall be obtained from either statistical surveys covering at least undertakings employing 20 or more persons or administrative records, for example, building permits. In order that results may be promptly available, the data to be supplied by undertakings may be collected on a representative basis. The statistical unit for these statistics shall be the unit of economic activity as defined in Part I of NACE.  For the purposes of the Communities' requirements, presentation of the data shall be based on NACE.  (1)OJ No L 128, 3.6.1972, p. 28.     Article 3 The statistics shall relate to the following variables or indicators:    (a) Data to be provided monthly:      1. Building permits:        1.1. Number of permits granted for residential buildings with an indication of the number of dwellings and the habitable floor space and/or volume to be constructed,               1.2. Number of permits granted for non-residential buildings, with an indication of the number of buildings and the useful floor space and/or the volume to be constructed;                          2.

Orders received in civil engineering, in value.                                                    (b) Data to be provided initially at least quarterly, this frequency being subject to modification by the Commission by agreement with the Member States:      4.  Number of employees, specifying the number of manual workers;        5.  Gross wages and salaries;        6.  Volume of work done:      6.1. Number of hours worked in building,           6.2. Number of hours worked in civil engineering.                     Article 4 1. The data shall be collected for the first time not later than in the fourth quarter after the notification of this Directive and shall be in respect of the preceding month or quarter.  2. Member States which do not have statistics on building permits (variable 1) and in which the administrative system is not appropriate for the establishing of such statistics shall be exempted from supplying data relating to that variable.  Member States which do not have statistics on volume of work done (variable 6) or for which the number of hours worked is not a reliable indicator of the volume of work done due to the structure of employment in building and civil engineering, shall be exempted from supplying data relating to that variable.  3. Member States shall have a period of two years from the date of the notification of this Directive in which to supply data on the total index of production for building and civil engineering (variable 2.1).  4. Member States shall have a period of four years from the date of the notification of this Directive in which to    - break down the total index of production (variable 2.1) into an index of production for building (variable 2.1.1) amd an index of production for civil engineering (variable 2.1.2),       - supply data on the total index of orders for building and civil engineering (variable 3.1) and value data on orders received in civil engineering (variable 3.1.2),       - supply data on the number of manual workers as distinct from data on the number of employees (variable 4).         5. During a transitional period which may not, however, exceed four years from the notification of this Directive, data relating to variable 3.1.1 may be replaced by data on the number of dwellings and non-residential buildings started, with an indication of the habitable/useful floor space or the volume to be constructed.   Article 5 Member States shall take all appropriate steps to reduce to a minimum the time needed for carrying out surveys and for processing and calculating data, in order that the results of the surveys may be made available to the Commission as soon as possible.    Article 6 The cost of compiling these statistics in the Member States shall be borne by the various national budgets.   Article 7 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.     Done at Brussels, 13 February 1978.  For the Council  The President  P. DALSAGER

Within three years following notification of this Directive, the Commission shall re-examine the derogations in paragraph 1 and shall propose any necessary amendments to the Council."   Article 2 Annex I to the Directive of 23 October 1962 is amended as follows.  The indents referring to E 171 and E 172 shall be transferred from Part II to Part I and inserted after E 163.   Article 3 Annex II to the Directive of 23 October 1962 is replaced by the following:  (1)OJ No C 6, 9.1.1978, p. 132. (2)Opinion delivered on 14 and 15 December 1977 (not yet published in the Official Journal). (3)OJ No 115, 11.11.1962, p. 2645/62.
