  3. ESA95 • broadly compatible with SNA • provides methodology on common standards, definitions, classifications, accounting • provides programme for data transmission • Regulation: rules are binding for EU Member States • two main sets of tables: sector accounts; I/O and industry accounts

  4. ESA95 Characteristics Concepts are: 1) internationally compatible 2) harmonised with those in other social and economic statistics 3) consistent 4) operational 5) different from most administrative concepts 6) well-established and fixed for a long period 7) focused on describing the economic process in monetary and readily observable terms 8) flexible and multi-purpose

  5. ESA95 Satellite accounts • specific domains: tourism, R&D, … • more detail • change some concepts • retain basic concepts and classifications • link with aggregates

  6. NACE Rev2 • internationally compatible • linkage with other EU classifications either through structure or conversion tables • use of NACE mandatory in EU Member States • national versions are allowed but must fit into NACE framework

  7. Features of the system • mandatory in EU Member States • compulsory data transmission programme • EU legislation directly applicable in Member States • Adopted by Council and Parliament upon proposal from European Commission (Eurostat)

  8. Improvement areas • integration only partial in certain domains • not at most disaggregated level • historic development: not integrated but area by area

  9. ESA95 Revision • required because of SNA93 update • occasion to further improve standards • development of more integrated system • new common framework and principles for satellite accounts

  10. MEETS • new needs in statistics – burden reduction • new data collection methods • requires integration of data sets • programme for integrating business and trade statistics • identify new/obsolete requirements • integrate methodologies • smarter ways of collecting and processing data • simplification of Intrastat
