21-mars-07 NOM DE LA PRÉSENTATION 20 Origins Origins (II) What is the National Accounts ? Much more than GDP aggregates: –Describes all economic activities, monetary stocks and flows of “an economy” (residential principle) Data examples: production, (intermediate) consumption value added, employment by industry, government or households. ESA95 Regulation Harmonised data from all Member States Data examples: production, (intermediate) consumption, value added, employment - by industry, government or households.
21-mars-07 NOM DE LA PRÉSENTATION 21 Origins Origins (III) Other satellite accounts to the National Accounts –Regional National Accounts –Agricultural accounts in physical terms and monetary terms; feeding directly into the National Accounts –Social Accounts on e.g. health and education –Tourism accounts

Expenditure)
21-mars-07 NOM DE LA PRÉSENTATION 24 EU Policy Background (I) Commitment by Commission AND European Council in renewed Sustainable Development Strategy (June 2006): “… avoid overexploitation of renewable resources, apply the concept of life-cycle thinking, break the link between economic growth and environmental degradation”
21-mars-07 NOM DE LA PRÉSENTATION 25 EU Policy Background (II) Commitment by Commission AND European Council in renewed Sustainable Development Strategy (June 2006): “… build on the EU Strategy on the sustainable use of natural resources”
21-mars-07 NOM DE LA PRÉSENTATION 26 EU Policy Background (III) Commitment by Commission AND European Council in renewed Sustainable Development Strategy (June 2006): ”For better understanding of interlinkages between the three dimensions of SD, the core system of national income accounting could be extended by inter alia integrating stock and flow concepts and non-market work and be further elaborated by satellite accounts e.g. environmental expenditures, material flows and taking into consideration international best practices.”
