THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article\u00a0285(1) thereof,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee\u00a0(1<\/span>),<\/p>\n

Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank\u00a0(2<\/span>),<\/p>\n

On 8\u00a0December 2003, the Council endorsed the development and publication of a structural indicator on job vacancies.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

The Action Plan on EMU Statistical Requirements, which was endorsed by the Council on 29\u00a0September 2000, and subsequent progress reports on the implementation of that plan, identified as a priority the development of a legal basis covering job vacancy statistics.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

\n

The Employment Committee established by Council Decision 2000\/98\/EC\u00a0(4<\/span>) endorses the need for an indicator for job vacancies in order to monitor the European Employment Strategy laid down in Council Decision 2005\/600\/EC of 12\u00a0July 2005 on Guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States\u00a0(5<\/span>).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

Decision No\u00a01672\/2006\/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24\u00a0October 2006 establishing a Community Programme for Employment and Social Solidarity \u2014 Progress\u00a0(6<\/span>), provides for the financing of the relevant actions, including, as specified therein, improving the understanding of the employment situation and prospects, in particular through analysis and studies and the development of statistics and common indicators within the framework of the European Employment Strategy.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

Data on job vacancies broken down, inter alia, by economic activity are required by the Commission in the framework of the European Employment Strategy for monitoring and analysis of the level and structure of labour demand.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

\n

Readily available quarterly data on job vacancies are required by the Commission and by the European Central Bank to monitor short-term changes in job vacancies. Seasonally adjusted job vacancy data facilitate the interpretation of quarterly changes.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

\n

The benefits of collecting complete data at Community level on all segments of the economy should be balanced against the reporting possibilities of, and the response burden on, small and medium-sized enterprises in particular.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

\n

(10)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

To determine the scope of the statistics to be compiled and the level of detail required by economic activity, it is necessary to apply the version of the statistical classification system for economic activities in the Community (NACE) that is currently in force.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(11)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

In the production and dissemination of Community statistics under this Regulation, the national and Community statistical authorities should take account of the principles set out in the European Statistics Code of Practice, which was adopted by the Statistical Programme Committee established by Council Decision 89\/382\/EEC, Euratom\u00a0(7<\/span>) on 24\u00a0February 2005 and attached to the Recommendation of the Commission on the independence, integrity and accountability of the national and Community statistical authorities.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(12)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

It is important that the data be shared with the social partners at national and Community level and that the social partners be informed concerning the implementation of this Regulation. Furthermore, Member States should make a particular effort to ensure that school career guidance services and vocational training bodies receive the data.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

\n

Council Regulation (EC) No\u00a0322\/97 of 17\u00a0February 1997 on Community Statistics\u00a0(8<\/span>) provides a general legislative framework for the production of Community statistics and applies, therefore, to the production of job vacancy statistics.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(14)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999\/468\/EC of 28\u00a0June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission\u00a0(9<\/span>).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(15)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

In particular, the Commission should be empowered to define certain concepts; determine certain reference dates, formats and deadlines; set out the framework for feasibility studies, and adopt measures pursuant to the results of those studies. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, 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\u00a05a of Decision 1999\/468\/EC.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(16)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the production of Community job vacancy statistics, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article\u00a05 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that objective.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This Regulation lays down the requirements for the regular quarterly production of statistics on Community job vacancies.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Each Member State shall submit to the Commission (Eurostat) data on job vacancies at least for business units with one employee or more.<\/p>\n

Subject to paragraph\u00a03, the data shall cover all economic activities defined by the common classification system for economic activities in the Community (NACE) in force, except for the activities of households as employers and the activities of extraterritorial organisations and bodies. Covering agriculture, forestry and fishing activities, as defined by the NACE in force, shall be optional. Member States that wish to provide data for those sectors shall do so in accordance with this Regulation. Owing to the growing importance of personal care services (residential care activities and social work activities without accommodation) for job creation, Member States are also requested to transmit, on an optional basis, data on job vacancies for such services.<\/p>\n

The data shall be broken down by economic activity in accordance with the NACE in force at section level.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Covering public administration and defence, compulsory social security, education, human health and social work activities, arts, entertainments and recreation and activities of membership organisations, repair of computers and personal and household goods and other personal service activities, as defined by the NACE in force, within the scope of this Regulation, and of units with fewer than 10 employees, shall be determined taking into account the feasibility studies referred to in Article\u00a07.<\/p>\n
