- Number of local units (total),
- Number of persons employed (NACE REV 1, 3-digit level).

The data collection according to Regulation (EC) No 808/2004 will be made together with household surveys and structural business surveys. Since, Liechtenstein is exempted from collecting such data, it should also be exempted from the collection of data according to Regulation (EC) No 808/2004.
