Please describe for which statistical surveys or indicators the classification is used and, if not used at the most detailed level, indicate the level or aggregates used. | NNIP is in use since 01.01.1998, so there is not available data yet. |

Please describe the kind of problems that have occurred (interpretation, methodology, etc.) | There are problems with:
- the interpretation of PRODCOM-positions;
- using physical units determined in PRODCOM, some enterprises have different traditions for accounting production |
| 20 | Users of the classification for non-statistical purposes
Please give the names of institutions that use the classification for non-statistical purposes (as opposed to statistical purposes in question 13). Also indicate the kind of use (e.g. tax offices, social security, customs, enterprise register etc.) | NNIP is adopted and put into force since 01.01.1998.
