Environmental protection expenditures – domain waste water International Work Session on Water Statistics
Data availability • Data is collected through the Joint Questionnaire between OECD/Eurostat, and via the SBS regulation. • Data availability good for both investments and current expenditures for the treatment and prevention of waste water emissions. • Over 80% of EU countries have available data, EFTA and Accession countries also have these data available
Comparability • Good harmonised data for the three SBS sectors; Mining & Quarrying, Manufacturing and Electricity, gas and water supply. • Public sector’s expenditures are less comparable internationally.
Future work • Continue to build on time series for investments and current expenditures • Integrate available data with related physical data according to the Environmental Accounts • Highlight the possibilities to use environmental protection expenditures in reporting to the Water Framework Directive
