A consolidated European Union and Euro Area supply-use system and input-output tables

The paper will present the methods and data related to the first dissemination of consolidated European Supply and Use tables, Input-Output tables: EU27 and Euro Area tables. The project has been conducted by Eurostat and the Joint Research Centre's IPTS of the European Commission with additional support of the University of Groningen. The tables produced are supply tables at basic prices; use tables at basic prices (broken down into uses of domestic production and imports) and symmetric input-output tables. The supply and use tables at basic prices refer at least to the years 2000 to 2006. As a regular annual process 2007 consolidated tables should be available as well at the time of the presentation. The process is based on primary data source transmitted by Member States through the official ESA95 and on additional data provided by the National Statistical Institutes (NSI), e.g. valuation matrices and use tables at basic prices. The project leads to a regular compilation of such tables by Eurostat.JRC.J.6-Sustainable production and consumptio
