2. European Classification of Activities (EKD) elaborated on the basis of the publication of the European Communities Statistical Office - EUROSTAT - Nomenclature des Activites de Communaute Europeenne - NACE rev. I is an objectly classification and it is systematized collection of types of socio-economic activities which there are in the national economy.

3. Additionally used grouped: category Industry refers to the EKD sections: Mining and quarrying, Manufacturing and Electricity, gas and water supply.

In the review tables some economic categories were remained grouped according to KGN.

Data according to sections, divisions and groups of the EKD are compiled - unless

°t ®n/vise stated - by the enterprise method.

Enterprise method means, that the whole units of national economy are accepted as a basis of grouped all data describing their activities by classification levels and territorial arrangements.

4. Units of the national economy are understood as legal persons, independent organizational units without status of legal personality and natural persons carrying out economic activities.

Economic units were grouped into the following groups:

~ small - with employment 5 people and less,

- medium - with employment from 6 to 20 people, and from 6 to 50 people in sections:

Mining and quarrying, Manufacturing and (to 1992) Construction,

- large - with employment over 20 people, and in sections: Mining and quarrying, Manufacturing and (to 1992) Construction over 50 people.

9. Relative figures (indices, percentages) are compiled, as a rule, on the basis of absolute res expressed with more precision than those given in tables.

12. Methodological notes concerning basic concepts and method of data processing are given in the general notes to every chapter.

13. When published data did not belong to CSO or SO - tables were provided with sources.
