Annex: ECOICOP v.2

This annex contains the ECOICOP v.2 classification. Some groups, such as narcotics and prostitution, have been excluded from data collection for the CPI and HICP under international agreements. Some expenditure categories that are not included in the HICP but are included in the CPI have been added to the overview; see the ‘Notes’ column. 

Some classes and subclasses represent only small amounts of spending. These will not be included in the data used for the CPI and HICP figures and no information on them will be published. The exact classes and subclasses concerned will be determined later. 

Some abbreviations are used when naming the groups, in parentheses: 

(D) stands for durable goods 

(ND) stands for non-durable goods 

(S) stands for services 

(SD) stands for semi-durable goods 

Furthermore, the abbreviation 'n.e.c.' means 'not elsewhere classified'.
