DMC Definition domestic extraction used + imports in mass weight (kg) of traded product exports in mass weight (kg) of traded product = Domestic Material Consumption (DMC) Focusing on material extractions on the domestic territory Does not count hidden flows of raw materials extracted abroad and used to manufacture abroad products imported in the EU. 7
DMC and GDP growth rates in EU and countries between 2000 and 2007 and decoupling issues 12% In Romania DMC increased more than GDP (10% per year for DMC and 6% for GDP) 10% No decoupling RO EE Average annual growth rate of DMC (%) 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% -2% PT IT DE DK MT FR BE NL AT EU-27 UK ES CY FI SE HU GR PL LU SI CZ IE BG SK LT LV Relative decoupling Absolute decoupling In Latvia DMC increased less than GDP (5% per year for DMC and 9% for GDP) -4% 0% 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10% Average annual growth rate of GDP (%) In Luxembourg DMC decreased of 2% per year 8
RMC Definition Domestic extraction used + Imports in raw material equivalents Exports in raw material equivalents = Raw Material Consumption (RMC) (Where raw material equivalents = material extraction needed to produce traded good) => taking a global perspective! ESS already agreed to produce RMC First estimates for the EU already available 9

Marrying geospatial and statistical data Geospatial information and official statistics: Two separate worlds both in EU and MS Need for finding synergies to justify the activity. Some examples: - Geographical data as building block for statistical information (remote sensing data aggregated to obtain estimates of value of forests ) - Mixing geographical and statistical layers for display or analysing purposes (Maritime Service Areas) - Support for data collection (Census) 15
Conclusions - Large amount of information to understand resource efficiency - Regulation on environmental accounting facilitates production of indicators - Several data sources enhance Analytical power - Geospatial information. An overview - How to marry Geospatial data and aggregated statistics 16
