INDUSTRY

The concept “industry” refers to a group of enterprises, which turn out industrial products of a similar economic purpose.

The basic reporting unit of statistics on the industry is an enterprise whose principal activity is classified to divisions 10 - 41 of the Industrial classification of economic activities (CZ-NACE) in force since 1 December 1993.

The CZ-NACE splits the industry into the following sections:

C – Mining and quarrying
D – Manufacturing
E – Electricity, gas and water supply

The data are obtained by the enterprise approach, i.e. for enterprises having their head office in the region concerned, including their establishments and plants situated in other regions. Due to a rather low degree of data relevance for a given region, the data are not further broken down into districts. A 100% survey is applied to get data from enterprises with 100+ employees, while a sample survey method is used for smaller entities.

Sales of own goods and services incidental to industry to external users include only sales from the sale of products and services according to CPA 10-41, i.e. sales adjusted by non-industrial activities of an enterprise. Among services incidental to industry belong also trade, transmission, distribution and supply of energy. Sales from the sale of this service come from difference between purchased and sold (transmitted) energy. Sales (receipts) of own tangible and intangible output valued at current prices; they are recorded on accounts 601 and 602. If own goods are transferred to own commercial networks, the sales are recorded in account group 62. The recorded sales (receipts) are free of VAT, consumer tax and customs duty.

Employees in industry are given as the average registered number of employees broken by actual persons and FTE persons. This publication provides the average registered number indicator in actual persons. The registered number of employees (in terms of actual persons) includes all permanent, seasonal and temporary employees who have a contract of employment with the employer and receive wages from the employer for the work done. The average registered number of employees does not include e.g. women on maternity leave, persons on parental leave (unless they are concurrently in employment), apprentices, students on practical training, persons working under contracts for work or of service, etc. The average registered number of employees FTE gives the number of employees in full time equivalent units.

The average gross monthly wage per employee in industry is based on the wage bill (gross) (without deductions imposed by law or agreed upon with the employee), to be paid in the given period. The wage bill does not include funds paid from the other personnel expenses account. To calculate the average gross wage, the wages paid are divided by the average number of employees and the number of months in the reference period.

ENERGY

Information on the consumption of fuels and energy in all economic activities (industries) of the national economy is obtained from incorporated enterprises. In 2008 the methodology was subject to changes. While in the previous years all enterprises with 20+ employees were observed, in 2008 data were collected only for selected enterprises with 20-99 employees (the share of selected enterprises differs by industry). In the group of enterprises with 100+ employees data for all enterprises are collected as before. Data on fuel and energy consumption in the regions are processed by the enterprise location (tables 9-6 and 9-8) and by the point of consumption (tables 9-7 and 9-9).

Consumption of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels includes consumed individual fuels in terms of energy units - i.e. both production and non-production consumption, including consumption of inputs for generation of electricity and heat production processes and fuel upgrading processes, including input and operating consumption of diesel oil and gasoline for intra-enterprise transport.

Consumption of electricity – also includes own consumption for the production of electricity.

Other data are available in the following CZSO publications brought out according to the CZSO Catalogue of Publications 2009 (thematic group 8 - INDUSTRY, CONSTRUCTION, subgroup 81- Energy):

CONSTRUCTION

Construction comprises enterprises having their head offices in the area concerned, whose principal activity is construction and which employ 20 employees and more.

Construction work of contractors and sub-contractors (the value “S”) comprises total output resulting from construction activities and accepted sub-deliveries of work done by other organisations. It includes neither sub-delivery to other construction work contractors nor deliveries of work implemented between units of one organisation. They data are reported excluding value added tax.

Basic construction output (construction work done by own employees) is the volume of work carried out by employees on the organization’s books, including productive work of apprentices.

Data on housing construction refer to the entire housing construction in the area (including all types of extensions) that results in new dwellings attained by all forms of construction). Dwellings arising from changes in the purpose of use without any prior construction modifications are not included. The number of dwellings includes dwellings located in constructions for housing as well as elsewhere.

Constructions for housing are multi-dwelling buildings in which the function of housing prevails, plus family houses. The dwelling refers to one or more rooms designed for living by the planning authority and can serve the purpose of living as independent dwelling units. The dwellings started are dwellings, whose construction was started in the reference period, as laid down in the builder’s diary, irrespective of whether they were completed or not. The dwellings completed are dwellings approved for use by the planning authority, the approval taking effect in the reference period. Dwellings under construction are dwellings whose construction was started (in the reference year or earlier), but not yet finished by the end of the reference period. The habitable floor area is the floor area of habitable rooms. The habitable room is a room directly lit and ventilated, of at least 8 m² in floor area, which can be directly or indirectly heated and which is designed for living all the year round.

Data on building permits are processed from figures reported on questionnaires submitted by individual planning authorities. The building permit pursuant to Article 66 of Act No. 83/1998 Coll., which amends Act No. 50/1976 Coll., on Planning and Construction Order (Construction Act), lays down binding conditions for the implementation and use of the construction. Estimated value of constructions comprises total costs (at current prices), including technology, spent on preparing and implementing the construction and on putting it into operation.

Environmental protection refers to construction activities aimed to control water pollution, dispose of or use waste, reclaim land, and reduce impact of physical factor on the environment.
