COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3149/83

of 4 November 1983

relating to the organization of a survey of labour costs in industry, wholesale and retail distribution, banking and insurance

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 Regulation submitted by the Commission,

Whereas, in order to carry out the tasks assigned to it by the Treaty, in particular those set out in Articles 2, 3, 117, 118, 120 and 122 thereof, the Commission must be kept informed of the position and trends in the Member States as regards labour costs and employees' incomes;

Whereas statistical information available in each Member State does not provide a valid basis for comparisons, in particular because of the differences existing between the laws, regulations and administrative practices of the Member States, and whereas surveys must therefore be carried out and the results processed on the basis of uniform definitions and methods;

Whereas the best method of assessing the level, composition and trends both of labour costs and of employees' incomes is to carry out specific Community surveys, as was last done in 1982, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1596/81 (1) on the basis of accounting data relating to 1981;

Whereas, since expenditure by undertakings on wages, salaries and related employers' contributions is subject to substantial change in both level and structure, it is appropriate to carry out a new survey based on accounting data for 1984 in industry and in distribution, banking and insurance in order to bring up to date the results of the previous survey;

Whereas, in view of the scope of the survey and in order to lighten the burden on undertakings and on the budgets of the European Communities and of the Member States it is necessary to proceed on the basis of sampling,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

The survey shall be carried out by sampling.

Article 3

Employers shall, in respect of their undertakings or establishments which are included in the sample, provide the information needed to determine labour costs (manual and non-manual workers) on the basis of the accounting data for the calendar year 1984, in the manner set out hereinafter.

Article 4

The survey shall cover:

(a) costs of wages and salaries, including bonuses and allowances, and all incidental expenditure, in particular employers' contributions to social security and supplementary schemes, and other social payments, including the cost of vocational training of employees, and any taxes and subsidies directly related to labour costs;

(b) the number of employees engaged in the undertakings or establishments;

(c) the length of time worked.
