3.1. Data description | |||
The environmental goods and services sector (EGSS) accounts report on an economic sector that generates goods and services produced for environmental protection or the management of natural resources. Products for environmental protection prevent, reduce and eliminate pollution or any other degradation of the environment. Examples are electric vehicles, catalysts and filters to decrease pollutant emissions, wastewater and waste treatment services, noise insulation works or restoration of degraded habitats. Products for resource management safeguard the stock of natural resources against depletion. Examples are renewable energy production, energy-efficient and passive buildings, seawater desalinization or rainwater recovery, and materials recovery. EGSS accounts provide data on output and export of environmental goods and services and on the value added of and employment in the environmental goods and services sector. EGSS data are compiled following the statistical concepts and definitions set out in the UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting 2012 – Central Framework. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
Data are reported cross-classified by 1) the type of environmental protection or resource management activity and 2) economic activity. Environmental protection activities are classified by environmental domain as set out in the Classification of Environmental Protection Activities - CEPA. Resource management activities are classified as set out in the Classification of Resource Management Activities - CReMA. see the revised CEPA and CReMA explanatory notes for detail. Economic activity is classified according to the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community, Rev. 2 (2008). |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
EGSS comprises a sector of the economy that produces goods and services aimed at environmental protection and resource management (see SEEA CF 2012 chapter 4). Environmental goods and services either reduce environmental pressures or help maintaining the stock of natural resources or they are designed to be cleaner and more resource efficient than conventional products. Environmental goods and services can be produced by corporations, households, governments and non-profit institutions. The list of environmental activities and products has been set out in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2174 ('the indicative compendium of environmental goods and services'). |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
EGSS has the same system boundaries as the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) and consists of all environmental products within this production boundary. ESA defines production as the activity carried out under the control and responsibility of an institutional unit that uses input of labour, capital, goods and services to produce output of goods and services. Only goods and services produced for environmental purposes are included in the scope of the environmental goods and services sector. 'Environmental purpose' means that a good or service helps either 1) preventing, reducing and eliminating pollution and any other degradation of the environment or 2) preserving and maintaining the stock of natural resources and hence safeguarding against depletion. The EGSS statistics aim at compiling data for the following economic variables: Output: consists of products that become available for use outside of the producer unit, any goods and services produced for own final use and goods that remain in the inventories at the end of the period in which they are produced. Apart from market output, output for own final use and non-market output, EGSS statistics also include ancillary output, comprising output intended for use within an enterprise. Market output is to be valued at basic prices, that is, the prices receivable by the producer from the purchaser minus taxes and plus subsidies on products. Employment: is measured in full-time equivalent jobs engaged in the production of output of environmental goods and services. Full-time equivalent is defined as total hours worked divided by the average annual working hours in a full-time job. Exports: consist of sales, barter, gifts, or grants, of environmental goods and services from residents to non-residents. |
|||
3.5. Statistical unit | |||
Council Regulation (EEC) No 696/93 of 15 March 1993 on the statistical units for the observation and analysis of the production system in the Community describes the different statistical units of the production system. The recommended statistical unit for the collection and compilation of EGSS statistics (excluding general government) is the establishment. For general government, the recommendation is to use institutional units and groupings of units as defined in the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). |
|||
3.6. Statistical population | |||
The statistical population is the national economy as defined in SEEA CF 2012 and the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). It includes all economic activities undertaken by resident units. |
|||
3.7. Reference area | |||
Czechia |

3.8. Coverage - Time | |||
EGSS - 2014-2021 |
|||
3.9. Base period | |||
Not requested for this metadata collection. |
|
|||
Output, gross value added, and exports are measured in million units of national currency. Employment is measured in full time equivalents (i.e., full time equivalent jobs). |
|
|||
The reference period for EGSS data is the calendar year. |
|
|||
6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements | |||
EGSS accounts are compiled and reported in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 691/2011 on European environmental economic accounts (EEEA). The EEEA follow internationally agreed concepts and definitions set out in the SEEA Central Framework (2012), the international statistical standard adopted by the UN Statistical Commission. They present data in a way that is compatible with National Accounts (ESA, 2010). |
|||
6.2. Institutional Mandate - data sharing | |||
Not applicable. |
|
|||
7.1. Confidentiality - policy | |||
Confidential data are protected under the Act on Statistical State Service in Czechia. |
|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
Because EGSS compilation except ancillary activities is based on a mathematical model that uses predominantly published data, confidential data are not included in the EGSS tables. General rules for non confidential data: an aggregation of 3 or more entities, the share of the highest value does not exceed 85% of the total.

|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
The compilation of EGSS tables is based on simplifying assumptions, a mathematical model is applied to input data (e.g., the division of output by NACE is based on shares in the SUT). It is assumed that the NACE share on environmental CPA is the same as the NACE share on total production in SUT, but in reality, the environmental product does not have to be produced in this NACE. |

15.1.1. Asymmetry for mirror flow statistics - coefficient | |||
Not requested for this metadata collection. |
|||
15.1.2. Comparability - geographical - excluded products | |||
The indicative compendium was used only marginally. Environmental products and activities presented in the compendium are mostly identical with description of environmental products and services in the file "2015 EGSS list of envi products.xlsx". The annex of the regulation presents only overview products and activities without link to classification CPA or PRODCOM. This annex does not have real usage for our work. As an example we present: |
|||
15.1.3. Comparability - geographical - products not present in Indicative compendium - included | |||
No. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
Newly provided "ancillary activities", see point 15.2.1 |
|||
15.2.1. Length of comparable time series | |||
2014-2017 fully comparable Newly prodived "ancillary activities" since 2018 - comparable time series 2018-2021 We assume the data for 2020 and 2021 will be updated in the next report in compliance with updates of national accounts data.
|
|||
15.2.2. Comparability - over time detailed | |||
2014-2017 - "ancillary activities" not included 2018 - 2021 - "ancillary activities" included |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
There is a cooperation with national accounts experts to ensure all environmental goods and services are properly listed and classified. |
|||
15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts | |||
EGSS is fully coherent with national accounts data |
|||
15.3.3. Coherence - EPEA | |||
Generally, we do not have any special survey on EGSS, compilation of EGSS is based on the results of other statistics, so EGSS results are in compliance with business, energy and agricultural and foreign trade statistics because in all cases EGSS data is a subset of above mentioned statistics. From the reference year 2018, ancillary activities are newly included in the EGSS report. This activities are already comparable to the ancillary output in EPEA report. Minor deviations are due to confidential data. Described in point 18.5.2. |
|||
15.3.4. Coherence - other statistics | |||

|||
17.2.1. Data revision - average size | |||
2018-2019
Data for market activities were not changed. Newly included "ancillary activities". This could have had a major effect on the totals output, GVA and employment for selected NACEs (NACE A, B, C , D, H, O in CEPA1-9).
2020
2021 The increase of output in CEPA1 |
|||
17.2.2. Status of data | |||
We can consider 2018 and 2019 as definitive if there are no further changes in the NA. |
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
Used different data sources for different thematic areas of EGSS. |
|||
18.1.1. Source data - detailed - environmental accounts | |||
No. |
|||
18.1.2. Source data - detailed - other statistics | |||
Source data were obtained from the statistical surveys of the Czech Statistical Office: 6. NA - SUT tables
|
|||
18.1.3. Source data - survey | |||
No. |
|||
18.1.4. Source data - detailed - other macro economic data (trade, VAT etc.) | |||
1. Statistical survey of Ministry of industry and trade (energy from renewable sources, biofuels) |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Data are collected annually. |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
Data from outside organisation are provided via web sites given organisation. If the source data are not available we contact a resposible person in outside organisation. |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
We do routine checks on totals according to CEPA / CReMA, output, exports, gross added value and employment according to the corresponding categories. |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
The EGSS scope is determined according to "2015 EGSS list of envi products.xlsx". At present, EGSS scope is based on current knowledge and we are gradually analyzing the possibility of including other products from this list. The scope of selected products is also updated due to changes in the nomenclature PRODCOM, if any occur in a given year. - If there is a large number of reporting entities and it is difficult to identify whether they have environmental production or not, we do not include this code. |
|||
18.5.1. Imputation - rate | |||
Not requested for this metadata collection. |
|||
18.5.2. Data compilation - by variable and type of output | |||
Output: Ancillary activities: - To report the Ancillary activities, we have newly used internal non-investment costs from the statistical survey ŽP1-01 Annual report on environmental protection expenditure. |
|||
18.5.3. Data compilation - by NACE | |||
We use SUT tables. Environmental production is allocated to individual NACEs according to NACE shares on CPA production (rows of supply table). |
|||
18.5.4. Data compilation – CReMA 13B memo item | |||
There are no available corresponding data sources for MEMO ITEM_CReMA 13B. We use data from the statistical survey Stav 7-99 which provide information on the construction of low-energy consumption and passive buildings (this source corresponds to CREMA 13B only). The energy class is given by Decree no. 364/2020 Coll. - A decree on the energy demandingness of buildings and the statistical survey Stav 7-99 directly identifies the building energy class. The statistical questionnaire does not provide any other additional information about what the value of the building includes but we suppose that there is the whole value of the building. We are not able to provide a required detailed information for the reported time series and all 4 sheets (output, GVA, employment, export)." |
