EDP inventories
The availability of detailed and comprehensive inventories for the excessive deficit procedure (EDP) is critical for the quality assessment of EDP statistics and government finance statistics (GFS) and for identifying possible risks that might impact the reliability of the data.
The ESA 2010-based EDP inventories contain information on the methods, procedures, and sources used to compile the actual deficit and debt data and the underlying government accounts.
Pursuant to Article 9 of Council regulation 479/2009 (as amended), all EU Member States are required to prepare and publish an EDP inventory. Each EDP inventory includes a list of general government units as an annex.
