Table explanation


This table contains key figures from the environmental accounts and the National Accounts. It shows contributions to various environmental issues such as global warming, acidification, environmental costs and environmental taxes by industries. In addition, some economic characteristics of the National accounts are included for comparison, e.g. gross value added and the number of employee jobs converted to full-time equivalents.
The environmental accounts are consistent with the concepts and definitions of the National Accounts. This implies that, for physical material flows, the direct relationship with the Dutch economy is the focal point. Material flows are attributed to the economic activities where the actions actually take place, they are registered according to the residence principle. This means that all air pollution caused by Dutch transport companies is taken into account for the Netherlands, but that air pollution caused by transport companies from abroad within the Dutch territory is not.
The environmental accounts are based on figures from the environmental statistics. These data are based on the territory principle, however, everything that happens within the Dutch territory. Because of the consistency between the environmental accounts and the National Accounts, Dutch environmental indicators can be compared directly to the main economic indicators. Due to the difference in approach between environmental accounts and environmental statistics, results may vary somewhat.

Data available from: 2001-2013

Status of the figures:
his table contains figures from various sources. For figures related to the National Accounts: most recent reference period has status Provisional, whereas the reference period prior to that has the status Revised Provisional. After two years the data become Definite. Data for 2001-2010 are still regarded as Provisional, as the Dutch National Accounts are currently being revised to comply with the European System of National and Regional Accounts 2010 (ESR 2010). Data based on the environmental accounts will be revised over a longer period of time, because of adjustments in the data sources used. This to maintain the closest relation possible to the environmental statistics.

Changes as of 8 June 2016:
This table is discontinued.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable. This table is discontinued.

Description topics

Environment and macro-economic figures
Key figures relating to the environment and the economy.
Environmental goods and services sector
The environmental goods and services sector consists of a group of companies and authorities involved in activities with respect to measuring, preventing, limiting, minimalizing or correcting environmental damage to water, air and soil, and problems related to waste, noise and ecosystems. This definition includes 'cleaner technologies 'and 'cleaner goods and services' which reduce environmental risk and minimize the use of natural resources and pollution. The definition of the environmental goods and services sector is determined on European level and is used by EU-countries accordingly.
Gross value added at basic prices
The value of all goods and services produced (‘production value’ or ‘output’), minus those that have been intermediately used upon production. Value added is rated at basic prices, the prices experienced by the producer. Included is the value added generated by all kind-of-activity units residing in the Netherlands, including those that are foreign owned. The kind-of-activity units also include general government units and other non-commercial units.

In terms of National Accounts value added can be valued ”gross” or “net”. Gross means prior to any correction of fixed assets for loss of initial value in time (depreciation), whereas the value after depreciation of fixed capital is called “net”.
Macro-economic key figures
Macro-economics is the branch of economics that studies 'aggregates'. Aggregates are economic indicators that apply to large groups, for instance to all construction companies or all households or to the Netherlands as a whole. Examples of macro-economic indicators are GDP, labour volume, consumption, investments and international trade.
Value added from the output
The way value added is formed by underlying components in the so-called production approach. In this approach value added equals the sum of value added over all branches (including non-commercial ones). Value added is thereby registered at basic prices, the way they are perceived by producers.
Value at current prices
The values are expressed at prices of the reporting period. Alternatively, values may be expressed at constant prices. In that case, prices of a certain reference period are used.
Output basic prices
The ensemble of goods and services produced. Also called production. Three types of output are distinguished:
- market output: goods and services sold at a market or intended for sale at a market
- the own-account production of all goods that are retained by their producers for their own final consumption or gross fixed capital formation.
- non-market output: goods and services delivered for free or at economically non-significant prices to other units

Output is valued at basic prices. These are the prices experienced by the producers: product-related taxes have been subtracted from the original prices, subsidies haven been added to them. Costs of transportation, when charged separately by the producer, are not included. Changes in the values of financial and non-financial assets during the reference period are not included either.

Included is the output by all kind-of-activity units residing in the Netherlands, including those that are held by foreign owners. The kind-of-activity units include general government units and other non-commercial units.

Value at prices of 2010
The values are expressed at prices of the reference period 2010 by taking account of inflation. If prices are not corrected for inflation, values are expressed at prices of the reporting period (current prices).
