3. Relevance Top

The dependency of the EU on single providers has long been a topic of concern and a large component of energy security which tops the EU agenda. The EU has sought to improve energy security by building a resilient, interconnected and open internal market, while pursuing a multilateral and rule-based perspective. Multiple geopolitical events are highlighting the vital importance of geographical diversification for import origins.


4. Statistical Indicator Top
4.1. Data description

This indicator recalcualtes the ultimate origin of imports, aiming to remove transit of fuels. Please see the attached document in annex. It outlines the calcualtion methodology for this indicator.



Annexes:
Import-Dependency by Origin Indicator - Natural Gas - Formula Description
4.2. Unit of measure

Percentage of total supply (production plus imports minus exports)

4.3. Reference Period

The calendar year (January - December)

4.4. Accuracy - overall

The indicator is produced according to the high-level quality standards of European Statistical System. While indirect indicators suggest overall accuracy of energy balance should be in general high, quantitative assessment of accuracy was not performed by Eurostat. Please see Related metadata for details on accuracy of the source datasets used to calculate this indicator.

5. Frequency and Timeliness of dissemination Top
5.1. Frequency of dissemination

Every year

Revisions several time per year are possible.

5.2. Timeliness

T+2 years


6. Coverage and comparability Top
6.1. Reference area

< 75% EU MS or no EU aggregate

Data are presented for all EU Member States and several non-EU countries, no EU aggregate is present.

6.2. Comparability - geographical

> 75% EU MS

Data are comparable between most EU Member States and between other presented countries.

6.3. Coverage - Time

5 to 10 years

All reporting countries have time series.

6.4. Comparability - over time

> 4 data points

Comparability over time is ensured with a solid methodology harmonised on international level that is stable over long periods. Occasional breaks in time series are present due to the developments of statistical systems on national level and the level of detailed information (micro data) available at national level.
