   • Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European business statistics and
   • Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197 to the aforementioned regulation
   At the same time, the previous European Union legislation in this area (Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1982/2004) will be repealed.
   
   
2. Under the EU Regulation, from 2022 Member States will be obliged to exchange micro-data, the main data elements of which will be the ’Country of origin’ and the ’Partner tax ID number’ as provided in the Dispatches questionnaires.
