Regulation on the transmission format for research and development expenditure data, as referred to in Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European System of national and regional accounts in the European Union

This regulation establishes a standardized format for how EU member states transmit data regarding their spending on research and development (R&D). By unifying the reporting method, the EU ensures that economic data is consistent and comparable across all member states, which is essential for monitoring the European System of national and regional accounts.

This affects national statistical offices and government bodies responsible for economic reporting. It ensures that R&D investments are accurately tracked to help the EU assess economic growth and policy convergence.
