1. EW-MFA Training Workshop – 2.9.2009
Session:
-Evaluating country data
- response to the 2007 Eurostat MFA questionnaire
- response to the 2009 Eurostat MFA questionnaire

2. Evaluating country data – 2007-survey
procedure:
(1) identification of data gaps
overview
(2) plausibility
e.g. wrong units
e.g. variations over time series
e.g. cross check with other data sources or estimations
(3) consistency
e.g. checking totals and sub-totals, indicators

3. Evaluating country data – 2007-survey
10 checks for plausibility:
1. DE overall: visual check of distribution of categories and their variation over time
2. DE Biomass: Straw to cereals ratio
3. DE Biomass: Fodder crops compared with demand driven estimate
4. DE Metallic minerals: metal contents of ores
5. DE Construction minerals: tonnes per capita

4. Evaluating country data – 2007-survey
10 checks (cont.):
6. Imports intra-EU: Visual check of distribution of categories and their variation over time
7. Imports extra-EU: Visual check of distribution of categories and their variation over time
8. Exports intra-EU: Visual check of distribution of categories and their variation over time
9. Exports extra-EU: Visual check of distribution of categories and their variation over time
10. DPO: Comparison with US-DOE-IEA data for CO2- emissions from combustion and flaring of fossil fuels

5. Evaluating country data – 2007-survey

6. Evaluating country data – 2007-survey

7. Evaluating country data – 2007-survey

8. Evaluating country data – 2009-survey
Proposed procedure for the 2009-survey:
Similar checks as for 2007-survey plus comparison 2009 and 2007 surveys
Adoption of the 2008 NAMEA air emission check procedure
