  1. Introduction to the preliminary draft of IRES Expert Group Meeting on Energy Statistics New York, 2-5 November 2010

  2. Outline Background Organization of the revision process Provisional draft of IRES Summary of the 2nd stage worldwide consultation

  3. Background • The work started in 2005 with a programme review on energy statistics to the UN Commission • In 2005 the ad-hoc expert group meeting on energy statistics was held in NY • Two groups were created in 2005 by the Commission to advance in energy statistics: • The Oslo Group on Energy Statistics • Intersec. Working Group on Energy Statistics (InterEnerStat)

  4. The mandate of the Oslo Group on Energy Statistics: Review and contribute to the updating of the United Nations handbooks and manuals on energy statistics; …. The mandate of InterEnerStat: harmonizing of data collection, processing and dissemination, by limiting duplication and/or by building links/bridges between existing energy statistics questionnaires, concepts, methods and timetables; …

  5. In 2007, UNSD reviewed the work for the revision of the existing UN publications on energy stat. and decided that enough momentum had been created for the development of international recommendations for energy statistics In 2009 the UN Commission endorsed the UNSD strategy for the preparation of IRES

  6. Organization of the revision process • Substantive discussion and drafting • discussion on substantive issues (within the Oslo Group and InterEnerStat) • collection of country experience • drafting text • Consultation • Ad-hoc on specific issues with relevant groups such as the Expert Group on Classification, UNCEEA, London Group, etc. • Worldwide consultation with countries and organizations (carried out in 2 stages) • Expert Group Meeting prior to the IRES submission to the UN Commission

  7. The provisional draft of IRES IRES provides recommendations on different stages of the statistical process from: basic concepts, definitions and classifications to data sources, data compilation strategies, energy balances, data quality and statistical dissemination. IRES will provide a firm foundation for a long-term development of energy statistics based on the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics.

  8. The provisional draft of IRES reflects: • the discussion took place during the Oslo Group meetings • the work done by InterEnerStat on the harmonized definitions in energy statistics (flows and products) • the results of the 1st worldwide consultation on the scope and content of IRES

  9. Outline of IRES Chapter 1: Introduction. Chapter 2: Scope of energy statistics Chapter 3: Standard International Energy Classification Chapter 4: Measurement units and conversion factors Chapter 5: Energy Flows Chapter 6: Statistical units and data items Chapter 7: Data collection and compilation Chapter 8: Energy balances Chapter 9: Data quality assurance and metadata Chapter 10: Dissemination Chapter 11: Use of energy statistics and balances in the compilation of energy accounts and other statistics Annex A: Primary/secondary and renewable /non-renewable products Annex B: CPC subclasses linked with SIEC Annex C: Additional tables on conversion factors, calorific values and measurement units Annex 4: Commodity balance References Glossary Index
