Comparability between 2015 and 2016

Many enterprises and local KAUs within the section information and communication (J) operate within different industries. The unit is placed in the division in which it has its main activity. If a unit changes its activity it may also have to move to a different industry. This is more common within the section J than in most other industries. The result is that figures in one year may not necessarily be directly comparable to subsequent years.
