Division Title of the action: Adoption of Swedish calculati

EU contribution: EUR 12 000

Schedule for the work: January-December 2007

Short description of the action:

Statistics Sweden has calculated regional balances for eight production areas from 1995, but the method differs from the Eurostat/OECD handbook, especially for estimating harvested and grazed grass. The objective is to improve the quality and get consensus between the calculations in order to have results comparable to those from other countries.

The project will compare the used methods and coefficients, explain the differences and recommend most relevant changes in order to get consensus in both national and regional calculations. It will also create a way to transform the regionalisation from Swedish production areas to NUTS 2.
