The results in this table come from the so-called production statistics (PS) for the shipping companies. Production statistics are in the current form since the beginning of the 70's, they have been composing and giving an annual picture of the ins and outs of the business sector expressed in financial statements of exploitation and loss and profit. This data it is an important source of policy and practice in itself. The Netherlands, but they are also a source for (mandatory) deliveries to Eurostat, the European Statistical Office. Finally, they become intensively used in the compilation of overarching statistical overviews such as the National Accounts. Data available from 2000. As from the reporting year 2004, the publication ended. Frequency: discontinued Changes compared to the previous version (Current version) The CBS has the uplifting methodology of production statistics on the 2003 reporting year (PS2003) adjusted. This has been done because of the problems with the increase of sample results (especially small ones) companies) by population totals. There are several sectors of service and construction. The adaptation in the uplifting methodology also has some effect on the outcomes on the employment in maritime transport. To use a uniform methodology these results have been re-established. (Version 26-07-2005) Final data for the year 2003 have been added.(see also paragraph 4, releasepolicy). The results from 2000 to 2002 have been revised. This review concerns mainly a methodological change. In addition, there are smaller improvements made as a result of the availability of new information. The figures refer to all companies with 20 or more employees (active persons from reporting year 2002) who during the year existed and on smaller holdings where on 1 December of the year at least one person worked 15 hours or more per week. For this methodological change, the marginally active companies were and the small businesses that had stopped before December 1st, were included. Reasons for this change are: — better alignment with European definitions; — quality improvement by simplifying observation small businesses. The recalculations resulting from the methodological change are also used to process fulfilled data in the statistical results. ENGLISH:
