This includes the enactment and judicial interpretation of laws and their pursuant regulation, as well as the administration of programmes based on them, legislative activities, taxation, national defence, public order and safety, immigration services, foreign affairs and the administration of government programmes. and The legal or institutional status is not, in itself, the determining factor for an activity to belong in this section, rather than the activity being of a nature specified in the previous paragraph. This means that activities classified elsewhere in NACE do not fall under this section, even if carried out by public entities (for example, the administration of the school system – in other words, regulations, checks, curricula – falls under this section, but teaching itself does not (see section Q), while a prison or military hospital is classified to health (see section R)). Similarly, some activities described in this section may be carried out by non-government units.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
