But if this is the planet, what are the satellites?

A first category of extension is internal to the core itself. It is related to the need to expand the analysis
both by function and by economic category. In principle, this type of extension might not require any
substantial additional effort by national accounts compilers in European countries, provided that the
national database is sufficiently analytic.

A deeper analysis by function implies considering second level of the COFOG classification in those
cases which are relevant for the quality analysis. Table 2 shows the proposed level 2 breakdown.
