3.26.
The consistency between the existing
classifications and the EBOPS classification is further
reinforced in the coding
system recommended in the
present
Manual for compilation and reporting purposes.
The codes shown in the table in Annex II are the
standard codes that are used by IMF, OECD, Eurostat
and many country compilers when referring to balance
of payments trade in services statistics.
3.27. The various classifications of services (BPM5,
the Joint Classification of OECD and Eurostat, and
EBOPS) are all primarily product-based classifications,
and insofar as they are may be described in terms of the
international classification of products, CPC. BPM5
describes the various services components in terms of
the
Provisional CPC, which was published in 1989. A
similar, but more detailed, approach has been used in the
present
Manual, and annex III provides a detailed
correspondence between EBOPS and CPC, Version 1.0,
which was published in 1998. However, as in BPM5 and
the Joint Classification, there are a number of EBOPS
components for which a correspondence with CPC,
Version 1.0 cannot be established. In these areas,
travel,
construction services and
government services, n.i.e., a
wide range of goods and services may be traded or
consumed. Those three areas of EBOPS, which are
discussed further below, emphasize the mode of
consumption of goods and services rather than the type
of product consumed. Further, it should be noted that it
is not possible to establish a one-to-one correspondence
between EBOPS and CPC, Version 1.0 because in
places CPC, Version 1.0 calls
for more detail than is
shown in EBOPS, while in a few areas the reverse is
true. In addition to the correspondence provided in
annex III, further work that is anticipated after the
publication of the present
Manual on the convergence of
EBOPS and CPC will potentially increase the
harmonization of statistics compiled on services that are
domestically produced and those that are internationally
negotiated and traded.
