SECTION 1
Aim
The aim of this Annex is to establish a common framework for the collection, compilation, transmission and evaluation of Community statistics on the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of the pension funds sector. This module includes a detailed list of characteristics on which statistics are to be compiled in order to improve knowledge of the national, Community and international development of the pension funds sector.
SECTION 2
Scope
The statistics to be compiled will relate to the domains referred to in Article 1(a), (b) and (c), in particular to:
— the detailed analysis of the structure, activity, competitiveness and performance of pension funds,
— the development and distribution of total business, patterns of pension funds members, international activities, employment, investments and liabilities.
SECTION 3
Coverage
1. The statistics are to be compiled for all activities within the scope of NACE Rev. 2 group 65.3. This group covers the activities of autonomous pension funds.
2. Some statistics are compiled for enterprises with non-autonomous pension funds which are carried out as ancillary activities.
SECTION 4
Characteristics
1. The list of characteristics set out below indicates, where relevant, the type of statistical unit for which the statistics are to be compiled. The characteristics in italics are also included in the lists in the common module defined in Annex I. When characteristics are derived directly from the annual accounts, accounting years ending within a reference year are to be assimilated to the said reference year.
