REGULATION (EU) 2023/734 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 15 March 2023

amending Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union and repealing 11 legal acts in the field of national accounts

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 338(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank (1),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) set up a revised European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) and contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the Union, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States.

(2)

Annex A to Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 provides for the methodology for the drawing up of the accounts of the Member States.

(3)

During the application of Regulation (EU) No 549/2013, minor textual inconsistencies have been identified in Annex A to that Regulation, and those inconsistencies need to be corrected.

(4)

Annex B to Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 (the ‘transmission programme’) provides for a set of tables of national accounts data, including related metadata, which Member States are to transmit to the Commission (Eurostat) within specified time limits for the purposes of the Union.

(5)

The transmission programme should be updated to take into account changing user needs, new policy priorities and the development of new economic activities in the Union.

(6)

Metadata on structural information to be transmitted should take into account the principles described in Commission Recommendation (EU) 2023/397 (4). New metadata transmission requirements should not impose excessive additional costs or excessive administrative burden on Member States.

(7)

The 49th session of the United Nations Statistical Commission considered and endorsed the revised version of the classification of individual consumption by purpose (Coicop 2018) as the internationally accepted standard. Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 makes reference to the previous version (Coicop 1999) in Annexes A and B thereto, and those references should therefore be updated.

(8)

Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)

Since the implementation of this Regulation will require major adaptations to national statistical systems, the Commission should grant derogations to Member States. Such derogations should be temporary and granted for a maximum duration of three years. The Commission should provide support to the Member States concerned in their efforts to carry out the required adaptations to their statistical systems so that the derogations can be discontinued as soon as possible.

(10)

Following the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 and of Regulation (EU) 2019/516 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), 11 legal acts based on the previous European system of national and regional accounts, established by Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 (6) (ESA 95), are no longer relevant. The measures set out in this Regulation will replace those of Regulations (EC) No 359/2002 (7), (EC) No 1221/2002 (8), (EC) No 1267/2003 (9), (EC) No 501/2004 (10), (EC) No 1161/2005 (11), (EC) No 1392/2007 (12) and (EC) No 400/2009 (13) of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulation (EC) No 1222/2004 (14), Commission Regulation (EC) No 264/2000 (15) and Commission Decisions 98/715/EC (16) and 2002/990/EC (17). Those acts should therefore be repealed.

(11)

This Regulation should apply from 1 September 2024 to coincide with the agreed timing for harmonised national accounts benchmark revisions in Member States. This does not prevent Member States from compiling their statistics in accordance with the amended Annexes before that general application date. In order to ensure sufficient time for the adaptation to new transmission requirements, any new obligation to transmit metadata on structural information should apply from 1 September 2025, even though those metadata may already voluntarily be transmitted before that date.

(12)

With a view to mitigating the social and economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis and in order to reinforce the resilience of Member States’ economies and social structures, the Union has taken major initiatives, in particular NextGenerationEU and the Recovery and Resilience Facility established by Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council (18). Against that background, Union statistics should properly reflect the statistical accounts of the institutions and bodies of the Union. Therefore, technical work should be pursued for that purpose, so that a robust methodology is developed allowing for the compilation and dissemination of statistical accounts by the Commission (Eurostat), including the ESA 2010 net lending / net borrowing and the outstanding Maastricht debt liabilities. By 31 March 2024, the Commission (Eurostat) should submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the progress made in that regard.

(13)

Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the creation of common statistical standards that permit the production of harmonised national accounts data to achieve overall comparability at Union level, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(14)

Data on information and communication technologies equipment are essential to support the analysis and the policymaking in the context of priority policies relating to digitalisation and the European Green Deal, which aim to reinforce competitiveness and further development of new technologies. Similarly, data on land underlying buildings and structures are important for the analysis of investment and wealth at Union level. The Commission (Eurostat) and national statistical authorities should pursue the methodological work undertaken in this area in recent years with a view to increasing the availability of more detailed data in the context of the future revision of the European system of national and regional accounts.

(15)

Periodic updates are needed to take into account the interaction between globalisation, the green and digital transitions and national accounts in order to provide decision-makers with the necessary data and knowledge to ensure competitiveness, financial stability, budgetary resilience, sound public finances and fair tax policy. Furthermore, the 51st session of the United Nations Statistical Commission has already requested the Intersecretariat Working Group on National Accounts to develop a roadmap for the revision of the System of National Accounts 2008. The revised version of the System of National Accounts is planned to be adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission in 2025.

(16)

The update of international manuals on national accounts is necessary, in particular with regard to well-being and sustainability, given that so much of the activity affecting economic well-being of the population occurs beyond the production frontier.

(17)

The revision of the System of National Accounts 2008 in 2025 will provide an opportunity to update the internationally agreed concepts, definitions, classifications and accounting rules in order to address global challenges related to climate change, security, inequality, sustainability and well-being and will be instrumental in supporting policymakers in taking informed decisions to foster economic, social and territorial cohesion, reduce social and gender inequalities and catalyse the green and digital transitions. The Commission should therefore regularly provide the required information and discuss with the European Parliament and the Council the revision of the System of National Accounts 2008 before its conclusion planned for 2025.

(18)

However, the analytical properties of product-by-product tables and industry-by-industry tables do not differ significantly. The differences between product-by-product tables and industry-by-industry tables are caused by the existence of a generally limited amount of secondary production. In practice, analytical uses of input-output tables implicitly assume an industry technology, no matter how the tables have originally been compiled. Furthermore, in practice, any product-by-product table is a manipulated industry-by-industry table, as it still contains all the KAU and enterprise characteristics of the supply and use tables.’;

(19)

paragraph 10.27 is replaced by the following:

‘10.27

For transactions in services it is frequently more difficult to specify the characteristics which determine the physical units, and differences of opinion may arise concerning the criteria to be used. This difficulty may concern important industries such as financial intermediation services, wholesale and retail trade, services to enterprises, education, research and development, health or recreation. The choice of physical units for such activities is presented in Handbook on prices and volume measures in national accounts  (*1).

in paragraph 15.27, the text ‘This asset (category AN.222) is only recognised if its value, the benefits to the holder in excess of the value accruing to the issues, is realisable through transferring the asset.’ is replaced by the following:

‘This asset (category AN.222) is only recognised if its value, the benefits to the holder in excess of the value accruing to the issuer, is realisable through transferring the asset.’;

paragraph 15.32 is replaced by the following:

‘15.32

When governments restrict the number of cars entitled to operate as taxis or limit the number of casinos by issuing permits, for example, they are in effect creating monopoly profits for the approved operators and recovering some of the profits as the fee. Such fees are recorded as other taxes on production. This principle applies to all cases where government issues permits to limit the number of units operating in a particular field where the limit is fixed arbitrarily and is not dependent only on qualifying criteria.’;

If government assumes the responsibility for pension provision for the employees of a non-government unit through an explicit transaction, any payment by the non-government unit needs to be recorded as pre-paid social contributions (F.89). There is further discussion of this type of arrangement in paragraphs 20.273 to 20.275.’;

(28)

paragraph 17.165 is replaced by the following:

‘17.165

The discount rate applied to estimates of future pension benefits in the case of accrued-to-date entitlements is one of the most important assumptions to be made in the modelling of pension schemes, since its accumulated impact over many decades can be very large. The discount rate from a chosen approach may change over time, which would lead to revaluations in the accounts.’;

Capital expenditure

In the ESA central framework, net lending/net borrowing (B.9) is the balancing item of the capital account. The balancing item of general government in the ESA GFS presentation is identical to the net lending/net borrowing (B.9). This box explains why.

The ESA central framework

The first account is the production account, and therefore the first resource of an institutional sector in the ESA is its output. As the majority of services provided by government are not sold at economically significant prices and so are non-market, government output is measured by convention as the sum of production costs.

Similarly, final collective consumption expenditure, consisting of services provided to the community by government such as general services, defence, safety and public order, are measured as the sum of production costs. Also by convention, collective consumption expenditure (P.32) is equal to the actual final consumption (P.4) of government.

Final individual consumption expenditure of households provided directly by government on a non-market basis is also measured by its production costs.

As a result, two types of flows are ‘imputed’ in the ESA accounts of government:

(1)

on the resources side, the non-market output, other (P.132) recorded in the production account;

(2)

on the uses side, the actual final consumption (P.4) and the social transfers in kind — non-market production (D.631). They are recorded in the redistribution of income in kind account, and in the use of adjusted disposable income account.

Each imputed flow is equal to the sum of actual flows: the production costs. These two types of imputed flows, on the resource side and on the uses side, balance in the ESA sequence of accounts.

The ESA GFS presentation of statistics

The same basic transaction categories are used in the ESA GFS presentation, but mainly on the basis of actual monetary flows, to obtain the total revenue and the total expenditure of government. Only a selection of imputed flows is taken into account: imputed social contributions and capital transfers in kind.

Eliminating from the resources side the non-market output (P.132) to obtain total revenue, and eliminating from the uses side the actual final consumption (P.4=P.32) and the social transfers in kind — non-market production (D.631) to obtain total expenditure, results in the same balancing item: the net lending/net borrowing (B.9).

The only social transfers in kind that are accounted for in the GFS aggregate total expenditure of government are social transfers in kind provided to households via market producers (D.632), as they are subject to real payments of government units. Those transactions are also to be added to the sum of production costs (equal to non-market output, other — P.132) to obtain the final consumption expenditure of the general government.

P.3 = P.132 + D.632’

(34)

paragraph 20.90 is replaced by the following:

‘20.90

Subsidies received by government units consist only of other subsidies on production. When received by producing entities belonging to general government, subsidies on products are included in the valuation of the output and sales at basic prices.’;

(35)

paragraph 20.130 is replaced by the following:

‘20.130

The repurchase by a unit of a liability is recorded as redemption in liabilities and not as an acquisition of assets. Likewise, at a subsector or sector level, the purchase by a government unit of a liability issued by another unit of the subsector in question will be presented in the consolidated presentation, as redemption of liability by that subsector or sector.’;

(36)

paragraph 20.158 is replaced by the following:

‘20.158

Taxes or subsidies paid by one government unit or entity to another are not to be consolidated. Taxes or subsidies on products cannot be consolidated in the system because there is no counterpart sector transactor in the ESA for such transactions; the relevant amounts are not separately recognised as expenditure and revenue (respectively) and are instead included in, or excluded from, the value of the intermediate consumption or of the sales.’;

(37)

paragraph 21.22 is replaced by the following:

‘21.22

The valuations of assets at fair value not only provide a better picture of the balance sheet than valuations at historic cost but they also generate more data on holding gains/losses.’;

(38)

paragraph 22.13 is replaced by the following:

‘22.13

In Coicop, 15 main categories are distinguished:

(a)

food and non-alcoholic beverages;

(b)

alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics;

(c)

clothing and footwear;

(d)

housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels;

(e)

furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance;

insurance and financial services;

(m)

personal care, social protection and miscellaneous goods and services;

(n)

individual consumption expenditure of non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs); and

(o)

individual consumption expenditure of general government.

The first 13 categories sum up total individual consumption expenditure by households. The last two identify individual consumption expenditure by NPISHs and general government sectors, i.e. their social transfers in kind. Together, all 15 items represent actual final consumption by households.’;

(39)

paragraph 22.14 is replaced by the following:

‘22.14

The individual consumption expenditure of NPISHs and general government is broken down into five common sub-categories reflecting major policy issues: housing, health, recreation and culture, education, and social protection. These are also Coicop functions for the individual consumption expenditure by households; social protection is a sub-category of category 13, ‘personal care, social protection and miscellaneous goods and services’. As a consequence, Coicop also shows for each of these five common sub-categories, the role of private households, government and NPISHs. For example, it can describe the role of government in providing housing, health and education.’;

(40)

paragraph 22.16 is replaced by the following:

‘22.16

The classification of government expenditure by function (COFOG) is a major tool for describing and analysing government finance. The 10 major divisions distinguished are:

(a)

general public services;

(b)

defence;

(c)

public order and safety;

(d)

economic affairs;

(e)

environmental protection;

(f)

housing and community amenities;

(g)

health;

(h)

recreation, culture and religion;

(i)

education; and

(j)

social protection.

The classification is used to classify individual and collective consumption expenditure by the government. However, it also serves to illustrate the role of other types of expenditure such as subsidies, investment grants and social benefits, for pursuing policy purposes.’;

(41)

Chapter 23 is amended as follows:

(a)

paragraph 23.05 is replaced by the following:

‘23.05

Apart from COFOG and Coicop, the functional classifications include also COPNI (classification of the purposes of non-profit institutions serving households) and COPP (classification of outlays of producers by purpose). These classifications are used for functional analysis of the expenditure by corporations, government, households and non-profit institutions serving households and for functional satellite accounts.’;

3.

Member States shall transmit all data in accordance with the concepts and definitions specified in Annex A to this Regulation. When the data transmitted deviate from the concepts and definitions, the observations affected shall be sent with a flag indicating that the definition differs.

4.

Member States shall transmit all data in accordance with the quality criteria specified in Article 4(1) of this Regulation.

5.

Member States and the Commission (Eurostat) shall coordinate the release dates of the accounts. Where national publication dates are subsequent to the deadlines for transmission of data to the Commission (Eurostat), the data shall be transmitted with a flag indicating the temporary embargo on publication as well as the embargo date and time for publication.

6.

The specification of embargo dates that are subsequent to the publication date for European aggregates shall be avoided to the extent possible.

Reference periods

7.

Member States shall transmit the entire compulsory time series to the Commission (Eurostat) at each deadline, including data that have not been revised unless stated otherwise in specific individual tables. Where the data transmitted have breaks in the time series, the value of the reference period concerned shall be sent with a flag indicating this break.

8.

If Member States have time series longer than the compulsory reference periods specified in the data tables, they may transmit the entire series on a voluntary basis.

Metadata

9.

Metadata shall consist of structural information as referred to in paragraph 10 and of specific information concerning the data transmitted in accordance with paragraph 11. Member States shall transmit the metadata to the Commission (Eurostat) to allow the Commission (Eurostat) to assess the quality of the data transmitted. Metadata transmission – within the context of the transmission programme – shall avoid the duplication of requests of the same information collected in other processes and tables.

Where the metadata include confidential information, Member States shall inform the Commission (Eurostat) that the relevant text in the metadata cannot be disseminated.

10.

Metadata on structural information to be transmitted by the Member States to the Commission (Eurostat) shall include information on the production process, as well as sources and methods used, if not available from other sources, and, where applicable, major methodological or other changes that affect the data transmitted, allowing the Commission (Eurostat) to assess the changes and inform users of such changes.

Such metadata on structural information shall, where the concepts and definitions specified in Annex A are not implemented, provide short explanations of the concepts and definitions actually applied in the transmitted data and the reasons why the concepts and definitions specified in Annex A are not implemented or not applicable.

After their initial transmission, metadata on structural information shall be transmitted each time that a significant change in the production process has been implemented.

11.

Metadata on specific information concerning the data transmitted by the Member States shall inform the Commission (Eurostat) about major events such as major data revisions, data inconsistencies of significant size, outliers, breaks in time series, updates on seasonal adjustment, as well as unusual zero and negative values. For data transmitted on an annual basis, this information shall be sent at t+3 days at the latest, except with regard to tables 1, 6 and 7, for which the metadata shall be transmitted together with the data. For quarterly data, metadata shall be transmitted together with the data. This information shall be sent only when such events are reflected in the transmitted data, and it shall provide short explanations of the reasons why the event is observed in the transmitted data and which variables and reference periods are affected.

Member States shall provide specific information on revisions which do not derive from routine operations.

Transmission deadlines

12.

The data tables accompanied by metadata shall be transmitted by the specific deadlines for each table.

13.

Data shall be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) every time they are published by the national authority and no later than the day they are published.

14.

If Member States become aware of errors in the transmitted data, they shall inform the Commission (Eurostat) immediately and transmit the corrected data as soon as the error can be corrected.

15.

If a Member State transmits complete datasets in line with the quality criteria referred to in Article 4(1) of this Regulation ahead of the deadline, no retransmission of data is required at the deadline unless stated otherwise in specific individual tables.

Consistency

16.

The data transmitted in a table shall be internally consistent. The values that are transmitted for the same variable in different data tables are to be numerically consistent when they have the same deadline or when they are to be retransmitted at the same deadline as other tables.

17.

The sum of the quarterly values of a variable not adjusted by seasonal and calendar effects in a table with quarterly data shall be numerically consistent for any reference year with the same variable in a corresponding table with annual data, when the corresponding tables have the same deadline.

Tables 1Q and 1A

Quarterly (Q) and annual (A) national accounts main aggregates.

Table 1A data shall be reported at t+2 months and t+9 months and table 1Q at t+2 months after the reference period. If a Member State transmits a complete set of data at t+2 months, data do not need to be transmitted at t+3 months. Table 1Q shall be consistent with table 1A at t+9 months.

Data at current prices (CUP) starting from 1995, in previous year’s prices (PYP) starting from 1996 and chain-linked volumes (CLV) starting from 1995 for annual and 1996Q1 for quarterly data are compulsory (x) as specified below. Some breakdowns are optional (o).

Quarterly data shall be provided in non-seasonally adjusted form, as well as in seasonally adjusted form (including calendar adjustments, where relevant) except for previous year’s prices. The provision of quarterly data that only include calendar or seasonal adjustments is voluntary.

For specific administrative uses, annual B.1*g are to be transmitted with the highest precision available but limited to meaningful values, e.g. maximum 8 decimals when expressed in millions of national currency and 3 decimals for data expressed in thousand persons.
