3.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Economy-wide material flow accounts (EW-MFA) provide an aggregate overview, in thousand tonnes per year, of the material flows into and out of an economy. EW-MFA cover solid, gaseous, and liquid materials, except for bulk flows of water and air. Like the system of national accounts, EW-MFA constitute a multi-purpose information system. The detailed material flows provide a rich empirical database for numerous analytical purposes. Further, EW-MFA are used to derive various material flow indicators. The National Statistical Institute (NSI) sent to Eurostat on yearly basis the EW-MFA. The accounts comprise the following reporting tables:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.2. Classification system | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EW-MFA record physical flows of materials broken down by type of flow and by type of material. The type of flow dimension corresponds to the EW-MFA questionnaire reporting tables and derived indicators, namely:
The breakdown by type of material employs a classification of materials. This EW-MFA classification of materials is hierarchical with main material flow categories (1-digit level). Each main category is further broken down, maximal down to 4-digit-level: 1-digit: material category; 2-digit: material class; 3-digit: material group; 4-digit: material sub-group. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.3. Coverage - sector | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The data refer to national economies as defined in the system of national accounts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Conceptually economy-wide material flow accounts (EW-MFA) belong to the international system of environmental economic accounting (SEEA-Central Framework). Furthermore, EW-MFA is one of several physical modules of Eurostat's programme on European environmental economic accounts. It is covered by Regulation (EU) No. 691/2011 on European environmental economic accounts. EW-MFA are closely related to concepts and definitions of national accounts. Most notably they follow the residence principle, i.e. they record material flows related to resident unit's activities, regardless where those occur geographically. Further methodological guidelines are provided in various publications by Eurostat (see Eurostat website > Environment > Methodology, heading: 'Material flows and resource productivity'). For more detailed information please see also 3.1. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.5. Statistical unit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Statistical units change according to the different data sources (e.g. agriculture, forestry and fishery statistics, production statistics, geological surveys, energy statistics, foreign trade statistics etc.) which EW-MFA are based on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.6. Statistical population | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EW-MFA refer to the entire national economy of the reporting country (see also 3.3 'Coverage - sector')). EW-MFA include all materials (excluding water and air) crossing the system boundary (between the environment and the economy) on the input side or on the output side. The economy is demarcated by the conventions of the national accounting system (resident units). Material inputs to the economy cover extractions of natural resources (excluding water and air) from the natural environment and imports of material products (goods) from the rest of the world economy (ROW). Material outputs are disposals of materials to the natural environment and exports of material products and waste to the ROW. Information on natural resources extracted and traded products is provided by different statistical units. |

|||
18.5.3. Adjustment used of correspondence table for Tables B and D | |||
Hungary employs Eurostat’s correspondence table, provided with the EW-MFA questionnaire, to assign traded goods to material categories. |
|||
18.5.4. Adjustment used of conversion factors for Tables B and D | |||
Hungary does not use conversion factors to convert traded goods into tonnes. MFA natural gas import and export figures do not contain the reimport and reexport values, which can explain the majority of the difference compared to COMEXT database. Other trade figures are also not involved in natural gas import and export values, but those have a minor impact on the difference.
|
|||
18.5.5. Fuel trade, residence adjustment | |||
Hungary does not make adjustments to the physical trade characteristics because lack of data. |
|||
18.5.6. Significant problems | |||

|||
18.6. Adjustment | |||
Not applicable; i.e. in EW-MFA no time series adjustment necessary. |
