2. Chapter 1 - Conceptual framework
It will provide:
a brief summary of the conceptual framework for energy statistics established by IRES

For example, residence and territory principle

The importance of a legal framework and appropriate institutional arrangements for energy statistics is recognized in IRES
This chapter would provide a review of different systems for the energy statistics (e.g. centralized vs decentralized systems) and describe their advantages and disadvantages
Key elements for effective institutional arrangements would be elaborated
Country examples will be an important element in this chapter to demonstrate how countries have established their current infrastructure
