Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 January 2005 on Community statistics concerning balance of payments, international trade in services and foreign direct investment [1], and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 establishes a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics on balance of payments, international trade in services and foreign direct investment.

(2) Due to the economic and technical developments in the area of balance of payments, it is necessary to regularly update the data requirements and to adapt the level of the breakdown laid down in Regulation (EC) No 184/2005.

(5) The accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union and the adoption of the euro by Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta and Slovakia require corresponding changes to be made in Table 6 "Geographical breakdown levels" of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 184/2005.

(6) Following the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Revision 2 and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 as well as certain EC Regulations on specific statistical domains [3], it is necessary to adapt the activity breakdown levels in Table 7 "Activity breakdown levels" of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 184/2005.

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation, are in accordance with the opinion of the Balance of Payments Committee set up by Regulation (EC) No 184/2005,
