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 | |||

We analyzed the linkage between the Romanian NA system and the environmental accounts, according to the indicators requested by Eurostat (output, GVA, export and own final use). We carried out a comparative analysis between data collected from the three available data sources (NA, EPE survey and EPEA), we identified and we analyzed the differences. We identified those variables, which cannot be collected from any of the three data sources used and we identified the estimation methods, based on data mention above, that ensuring a high level of accuracy for estimated data. We analyzed the data sources and their quality, studying the data collection methods in order to harmonize the informations. The cooperation with the NA, EPE and EPEA experts brought significant benefits. |

|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
We considered the share of environmental products/activities taking into account the life cycle of the product analyzing as cradle to grave approach: Output: The main source for compilation of output is PRODROM, which provides “Total Production” - the volume of all production by product, the value and volume of the production sold. For cleaner and resource efficient products and other (connected) products, we calculate output based on PRODROM data. Based on EPE survey data we calculate environmental specific services for specialized producers and for NACE Rev.2 35, 31-33, 41-43, 71 and 74. Following the discussion with the NA experts and the analysis of the supply-use tables, we identified the method of estimating non-market output for specialized producers (NACE Rev. 2 E 37, 38, 39, 7112, 7490). Ancillary output EGSS was calculated based on EPEA data and National Accounts data, according to EGSS Practical Guide 2016 (p.68). For computing ancillary output, we estimated consumption of fixed capital ‒ NA_P51C and net operating surplus and mixed income ‒NA_B2A3N for EP based on NA data and we used share of intermediate consumption from EPE survey in intermediate consumption from NA. |
