1. 7 agenda item Transport related compilation issues in Physical Environmental Accounts: conclusions from NAMEA Task Force meeting
Meeting of the Working Group
“Environmental Accounts”
Luxembourg, March 2012

2. Overview Introduction The two main compilation challenges in brief
Conclusions from the NAME Task Force meeting (1-2 March 2012)
Next steps

3. Introduction
transport related material and energy flows (SNA-conform presentation)
= compilation challenge !
Overcoming these challenges is relevant for:
Air Emissions Accounts (AEA)
Economy-wide Material Flow Accounts (EW-MFA)
Physical Energy Flow Accounts (PEFA)

4. Two main compilation challenges
Adjusting national totals to resident principle
Detailed industry breakdown (NACE Rev2 A*64)

5. 1) Resident Principle

6. 1) Adjustments towards “resident principle”
Road Transport
Lorries/trucks/road vehicles
operated by resident units versus operated by non-residents

7. 1) Adjustments towards “resident principle”
Road Transport
Various boundaries/principles

8. 1) Adjustments towards “resident principle”
Air Transport
How much operated by residents? Where fuelled?
How much operated by non-residents, but fuelled on the territory?
Marine Transport
How much operated by residents?
Where fuelled?

9. 2) Economic Activities (NACE classification)
assigning air emissions and energy use to economic activities (not to technically defined classes/units)
detailed industry breakdown – NACE classification (A*64)
Road transport mainly
NACE : 97 98 99
Road trans- port

10. Task Force: Objectives
“Learning” (stock taking)
Other domains: energy and transport statistics; inventories for air pollution & greenhouse gases, transport models
Best practice by countries
Mapping the problematic transport issues (2nd day)
What are the most important information requirements (auxiliary statistics)?
What auxiliary information/statistics is available on European level?
Anticipating solutions (2nd day)
Can we recommend a certain compilation sequence - common “European approach”?
Homework for the next Task Force meeting?

12. Next steps Next TF meeting: 18-19 October 2012 some “homeworks”:
Draft technical paper on “road transport – resident adjustment”
Exploring potential data sources in national authorities
