1. Physical flow accounts and hybrid accounts SEEA chapter 3 and 4
Issues on the research agenda

2. Issues list - overview Chapter 3: MFA Chapter 4: Waste
Energy accounts:
Kolshus: Summary of the issues related to energy flow accounts and colaboration between the Oslo Group on Energy Statistics and the London Group

3. MFA - background
SEEA 2003 includes a very brief introduction to MFA and description of the link between SUT and MFA
A lot of work is now going on: Eurostat task force and OECD work on a MFA guidance manual (guide light)

4. MFA aggregation issues
Policy relevance of a single MFA indicator ?
Industrial dimension ?
- further development of links to SUTs and I-O tables
- standards
Material/product dimension ?
Weights and impact factors?
improving policy relevance
short term or long term issue

5. Waste accounts The terminology and classification
Categories of waste, waste treatment, industrial classifications
Standardizing methodologies to compile waste accounts harmonizing concepts and definitions used in waste statistics and waste accounts
links with MFA.
The European Union Waste Statistics Regulation could serve as a starting point for developing waste categories, waste treatment methods and industrial classifications for the waste accounts.
Standardized waste tables

6. Energy Accounts Energy accounts Bridge tables
List prepared by the Oslo Group
Bridge tables
Linking energy and emission statistics (including the Kyoto protocol) to the national accounts
Renewable energy resources
Methodology should be developed to expand the energy accounts to include renewable energy so as to link this information to the economic variables.
