Data availability

Data is collected through the Joint Questionnaire between OECD/Eurostat, and via the SBS regulation.

Data availability good for both investments and current expenditures for the treatment and prevention of waste water emissions.

Over 80% of EU countries have available data, EFTA and Accession countries also have these data available

Comparability

Good harmonised data for the three SBS sectors; Mining & Quarrying, Manufacturing and Electricity, gas and water supply.

Public sector’s expenditures are less comparable internationally.

Future work

Continue to build on time series for investments and current expenditures

Integrate available data with related physical data according to the Environmental Accounts

Highlight the possibilities to use environmental protection expenditures in reporting to the Water Framework Directive
