‘ Table 2. Product breakdown according to CPA classification ( voluntary data transmission )

The following breakdown describes the suggested level of detail for the voluntary data transmission by the CPA classification.

CPA is the European classification of products (goods and services) by activity. Under CPA, each product is assignable to a single heading of the classification of activities. It is therefore allocated to the economic activity, which produces it. As a result, CPA has the same structure as the classification of economic activities (NACE) and is used in National Accounts.
