  5. Transmission of the data on GG Stocktaking on 1 October 2004: • EU countries are rapidly progressing towards comprehensiveness of data - table 1100 still expected from Czech republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia - Table 1100: data by sub-sector missing only from Ireland and Portugal

  6. Transmission of the data on GG Stocktaking on 1 October 2004 (continued): • Non-EU countries: situation is more heterogeneous, from Norway (everything) to Turkey (nothing) - Table 200: real progress (except from New Zealand). Effort still expected for the sub-sectors from Australia, Canada, Korea, Mexico and Switzerland. Problem of timeliness for the United States. - Table 900: in progress, effort expected from Korea and Switzerland - Table 1100: effort from the majority this table is the most demanded by users !

  7. General Government Accounts • Next edition: two main improvements • One page of metadata by country (characteristics of the figures, sources…) • Change of the timing for publishing: from September to mid-November Reason: More accurate and consistent figures are available in the beginning of September (in particular for tables 200 and 900)
