⁽²⁾Activities are registered in the CBE using NACE-BEL codes (Belgian classification of activities). There are different versions of these codes. Activities with a NACE-BEL code (version 2003) were stopped on 31/12/2007 and automatically converted to the new NACE-BEL codes (2008 version) starting on 01/01/2008. A new 2025 version of the codes will enter into force on 01/01/2025. During the first half of the year 2025, all activities with a 2008 version of the NACE-BEL code will be phased out with 31/12/2024 as end date and automatically converted to the 2025 version of the NACE-BEL codes, starting on 01/01/2025. Up until then, activities will continue to be registered using the 2008 NACE-BEL codes.
