Dado que el acuerdo es que a 2 dígitos la ISIC internacional y la ISIC de MERCOSUR coincida. El motivo del apuro es que algunos paises de MERCOSUR realizaran sus censos económicos en 1994 y 1995, si no se implementa el clasificador para estos censos, luego aplicar la nueva versión de la ISIC deberá esperar los censos de 2013/2014. In december of 2004 will be approved the new National Classification based on ISIC rev 4 (2 or 3 digit, it depends on how many digit will be approved in the Statistical Commision) because between 2004 and 2005, some of Mercosur Countries will have the National Economic Census. In accordance of that Mercosur Group agree that, we will have a Mercosur Classification around December 2004. We hope that the main groups of the ISIC 4 will be approved for this time. |
