  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  In extracommunity trade is the calender year during which the goods are imported or exported and is determined by the date of acceptance of the Single Administrative Document by Customs Authorities. In intracommunity trade is the calendar year during which the event that originates the intracommunity transaction occurred, i.e., for arrivals, at the time of receipt of the goods by the company and for dispatches, at the time the goods left the company.
  • GOVERNMENT (Institutional sector):  The government sector includes all institutional units whose primary function is to produce other, non-market goods and services for individual and collective consumption and/or engaging in the redistribution of income and national wealth. These units' main resources come from mandatory payments made directly or indirectly by units belonging to other sectors.
