Statistical presentation | |
Data description | Provision of information from firms, firm establishments, municipal administrations, scientific institutes, foundations, ministries and other organizations and departments having at their disposal facilities, installations, and equipment included in the tangible fixed assets with ecological use. The tangible fixed assets with ecological use put into exploitation /acquired/ during the corresponding year are also reported. Tangible fixed assets with ecological use are allocated by directions of ecological use (wastewater, air, waste, etc.). |
Classification system | · Classification of environmental protection activities (CEPA) - a common classification of environmental protection activities which has been adopted by UN and European statisticians and accountants in 1994 and replaced in 2000 by an improved version (CEPA 2000); · Nomenclature of environmental protection equipment: - specialized facilities (end-of-pipe) - integrated technologies |
Sector coverage | Included are the economic subjects from all economic sectors having at their disposal tangible fixed assets with ecological use. |
Statistical concepts and definitions | Specialized equipment for the environment (end-of-pipe) - includes facilities which are not involved in the production process and serve only to reduce pollution resulting from production. Integrated technologies - elements of the production process/technologies, which resulted in achieving less environmental pollution compared to other similar technologies. |
