Environmental expenditure in Europe


The field of environment expenditure statistic is under development. Previously Eurostat has finalised a data collection handbook concerning industry related expenditures and the focus has therefore turned to the next level. Most EU and OECD members have available data for the public sectors spending on environmental protection, but little is known about the comparability of the data. This handbook is developed to further the harmonisation of environmental expenditures for the public sector and for specialised producers.
