Response from the competent authority: 'Reply from Eurostat:The Standard Industrial
  Classification of Activities (SIC 2008) is based on Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006
  governing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Rev.2. It is
  an identical classification down to the class level, but the national SIC 2008 has
  additional subdivisions at the subclass level. The NACE Rev. 2 Regulation is fully
  binding and directly applicable in all EU Member States (Article 21). The essential
  purpose of NACE Rev. 2, and consequently of the NACE Rev. 2 HDS 2008, is to record,
  collect, analyse and report data relevant for showing the characteristics of the
  economy and for monitoring development trends and structural change. The classification
  is thus used for statistical purposes and is not dependent on other legislation
  governing specific areas of classification. This ensures not only full comparability
  of data at EU level, but also comparability of data with international classifications
  (in particular with the United Nations Standard Industrial Classification of All
  Economic Activities ISIC Rev.4).).Changes to the classification, such as the introduction
  of new classes, reclassifications of services from one class to another, etc., are
  possible when the NACE classification is revised. The same applies to the introduction
  of new subclasses at national level (i.e. within the framework of the NACE). In
  order to implement a change, a justification with documentation/analysis has to
  be prepared and certain criteria have to be taken into account: that the activity
  is nationally important and identifiable and is defined as part of a NACE class;
  that the activity is carried out by a sufficiently large number of business units
  for statistical reporting at the level of the subclass to be feasible or, that there
  are a sufficient number of units in the subclass to avoid the need for masking at
  least at the level of statistical regions.The NACE level breakdown must be supported
  by a majority of the Member States, and any additional subclass level breakdowns
  within national classifications must also be approved by the Commission. In the
  latter case, only a more detailed subdivision within existing classes is possible
  and it is therefore not possible to create a subclass nationally that is a combination
  of two or more different classes.With regard to the ongoing revision of NACE, in
  2019 we have invited various institutions to provide us with suggestions for amendments,
  while also taking into account those already received from various users. All these
  proposals have been forwarded to Eurostat and are subject to coordination between
  countries in the preparation of the proposal for a revised NACE classification.
  In order for a proposal for a revision of the classification to be finally adopted,
  it must be approved or agreed by a majority of countries. A first draft of the revised
  classification is expected to be ready by the end of the first quarter of 2021,
  when we will be able to provide it to the countries for their review and comments.We
  do not consider that the NACE/SCP classification is an appropriate solution for
  the proper certification of the sale of organic products. Indeed, your proposal
  to subdivide the classification of the different activities in the field of trade
  in organic food, feed and planting material would mean that we would be creating
  a new class out of the different classes. In the course of the work on the NACE
  revision so far, the debate on organic or bio-based products has already been raised.
  It has been argued that NACE (and therefore the NACE) classification itself does
  not distinguish between organic and non-organic products. The only criterion for
  classification in trade is according to the type of product or goods and not according
  to their (organic) nature.'
