  4. Background • EU Task Force • To apply the methods at EU level (+ voluntary third countries) • TF created by CGST in December 2007 • Work in 2008 (including a workshop for WG) • In December 2008 decision by CGST: • Pilot data collection in 2009 • On reference year 2008 and previous years if possible 61st session of UNECE WP.6

These proposals would be submitted to the WG in October 2010.” 61st session of UNECE WP.6
