  • TAXA DE VARIAÇÃO HOMÓLOGA:  A variação homóloga compara o nível do índice/variável entre o mês/trimestre corrente e o mesmo mês/trimestre do ano anterior. Esta taxa de variação, perante um padrão estável de sazonalidade, não é afetada por oscilações desta natureza podendo, no entanto, ser influenciada por efeitos localizados num (ou em ambos) dos trimestres comparados.
  • IMPORT:  Goods which enter the statistical territory of the Member State from a non-Member State.
  • 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.

  • ENTERPRISE:  Legal entity (natural or legal person) that is an organisational unit producing goods or services, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources.
