The Green Papers of the Commission of 22 June 2005 on
Energy Efficiency and of 8 March 2006 on a European
Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy
discuss EU energy policies for which the availability of EU
energy statistics are required, including for the purpose of
establishing a European Energy Market Observatory.

The establishment of a public domain energy forecast
model, as called for by the European Parliament in its
Resolution of 14 December 2006 on a European Strategy
for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy (1) requires
detailed, up-to-date energy data.

Community statistical authorities should take account of
the principles set out in the European Statistics Code of
Practice, which was adopted on 24 February 2005 by the
Statistical Programme Committee, established by Council
Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (3) and attached to the
Recommendation of the Commission on the independence,
integrity and accountability of the national and Community
statistical authorities.

(14) The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council
Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the
procedures
implementing powers
the exercise of
conferred on the Commission (4).

for

In the coming years, greater attention should be paid to the
security of supply of the most important fuels and more
timely and more accurate data at EU level is needed to
anticipate and coordinate EU solutions to possible supply
crises.

(15)

The liberalisation of the energy market and its growing
complexity make it increasingly difficult to obtain reliable,
timely energy data in the absence, in particular, of a legal
basis concerning the provision of such data.

(10)

In order for the energy statistics system to assist political
decision-making by the European Union and its Member
States and promote public debate which includes citizens, it
must afford guarantees of comparability,
transparency,
flexibility and ability to evolve. Thus, in the near future,
statistics on nuclear energy should be incorporated and
relevant data concerning renewable energy should be
developed more. Similarly, with regard to energy efficiency,
the availability of detailed statistics on habitat and transport
would be extremely useful.

(11) The production of Community statistics is governed by the
rules set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of
17 February 1997 on Community Statistics (2).

(12) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely establishing a
transmission,
common framework for
evaluation and dissemination of
energy
statistics in the Community cannot be sufficiently achieved
by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved
at Community level, the Community may adopt measures,
in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in
Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of
proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation
does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve that
objective.

In particular, power should be conferred on the Commis-
sion to modify the list of data sources, the national statistics
and the applicable clarifications or definitions as well as the
transmission arrangements and to establish and modify the
annual nuclear statistics, once incorporated, to modify the
renewable energy statistics, once incorporated, and to
establish and modify the
energy consumption
statistics. Since those measures are of general scope and
are designed to amend non-essential elements of
this
Regulation, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-
essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance
with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in
Article 5(a) of Decision 1999/468/EC.

It is necessary to provide that the Commission may grant
exemptions or derogations to Member States from those
aspects of the energy data collection that would lead to an
excessive burden on respondents. The exemptions or
derogations should be granted only upon receipt of a
proper justification which indicates the present situation
and the excessive burden transparently. The period for
which they remain in force should be limited to the shortest
time necessary.

ANNEX B

ANNUAL ENERGY STATISTICS

This Annex describes the scope, units, reported period, frequency, deadline and transmission modalities for the annual
collection of energy statistics.

Annex A applies for explanations of terms for which a specific explanation is not supplied in this Annex.

1.

SOLID FOSSIL FUELS AND MANUFACTURED GASES

1.1.

Applicable energy products

Unless otherwise specified this data collection applies to all of the following energy products:

Energy product

1.

Anthracite

Definition

High rank coal used for industrial and residential applications. It has generally less
than 10 % volatile matter and a high carbon content (about 90 % fixed carbon). Its
gross calorific value is greater than 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on an ash-free but
moist basis.

2.

Coking coal

Bituminous coal with a quality that allows the production of a coke suitable to
support a blast furnace charge. Its gross calorific value is greater than 23 865 kJ/kg
(5 700 kcal/kg) on an ash-free but moist basis.

3.

Other bituminous
coal
(steam coal)

Coal used for steam raising purposes and includes all bituminous coal that is neither
included under coking coal nor anthracite. It is characterised by higher volatile
matter than anthracite (more than 10 %) and lower carbon content (less than 90 %
fixed carbon). Its gross calorific value is greater than 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on
an ash-free but moist basis. If bituminous coal is used in coke ovens it should be
reported as coking coal.

4.

Sub-bituminous
Coal

Refers to non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value between 17 435 kJ/kg
(4 165 kcal/kg) and 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) containing more than 31 %
volatile matter on a dry mineral matter free basis.

5.

Lignite/brown coal

6.

Peat

7.

Patent fuel

8.

Coke oven coke

Non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value less than 17 435 kJ/kg (4 165
kcal/kg) and greater than 31 % volatile matter on a dry mineral matter free basis.
Oil shale and tar sands produced and combusted directly should be reported in this
category. Oil shale and tar sands used as inputs for other transformation processes
should also be reported in this category.
This includes the portion of
tar sands consumed in the
the oil shale or
transformation process. Shale oil and other products derived from liquefaction
should be reported on the Annual Oil Questionnaire.

A combustible soft, porous or compressed, sedimentary deposit of plant origin with
high water content (up to 90 % in the raw state), easily cut, of light to dark brown
colour. Peat used for non-energy purposes is not included.
This definition is without prejudice to the definition of renewable energy sources in
Directive 2001/77/EC and to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse
Gas Inventories.

A composition fuel manufactured from hard coal fines with the addition of a binding
agent. The amount of patent fuel produced may, therefore, be slightly higher than the
actual amount of coal consumed in the transformation process.

The solid product obtained from carbonisation of coal, principally coking coal, at
high temperature, it is low in moisture and volatile matter. Coke oven coke is used
mainly in the iron and steel industry acting as energy source and chemical agent.
Coke breeze and foundry coke are included in this category.
Semi-coke (a solid product obtained from carbonisation of coal at low temperature)
should be included in this category. Semi-coke is used as a domestic fuel or by the
transformation plant itself. This heading also includes coke, coke breeze and semi-
coke made from lignite/brown coal.

9.

Gas coke

By-product of hard coal used for production of town gas in gasworks. Gas coke is
used for heating purposes.

14.11.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 304/13

Energy product

10. Coal tar

11. BKB

(brown coal bri-
quettes)

12. Gasworks gas

Definition

A result of the destructive distillation of bituminous coal. Coal tar is the liquid by-
product of the distillation of coal to make coke in the coke oven process or it is
produced from brown coal (low-temperature tar). Coal tar can be further distilled
into different organic products (e.g. benzene, toluene, naphthalene), which normally
would be reported as a feedstock to the petrochemical industry.

BKB is a composition fuel manufactured from lignite/brown coal, produced by
briquetting under high pressure without the addition of a binding agent. These
figures include peat briquettes, dried lignite fines and dust.

Covers all types of gases produced in public utility or private plants, whose main
purpose is manufacture, transport and distribution of gas. It includes gas produced
by carbonisation (including gas produced by coke ovens and transferred to gasworks
gas), by total gasification with or without enrichment with oil products (LPG,
residual fuel oil, etc.), and by reforming and simple mixing of gases and/or air,
reported under the rows ‘from other sources’. Under the transformation sector
identify amounts of gasworks gas transferred to blended natural gas which will be
distributed and consumed through the natural gas grid.
The production of other coal gases (i.e. coke oven gas, blast furnace gas and oxygen
steel furnace gas) should be reported in the columns concerning such gases, and not
as production of gasworks gas. The coal gases transferred to gasworks plants should
then be reported (in their own column) in the transformation sector in the gasworks
plants row. The total amount of gasworks gas resulting from transfers of other coal
gases should appear in the production line for gasworks gas.

13. Coke oven gas

Obtained as a by-product of the manufacture of coke oven coke for the production
of iron and steel.

14. Blast furnace gas

Produced during the combustion of coke in blast furnaces in the iron and steel
industry. It is recovered and used as a fuel partly within the plant and partly in other
steel industry processes or in power stations equipped to burn it. The quantity of fuel
should be reported on a gross calorific value basis.

15. Oxygen steel furnace

gas

By-product of the production of steel in an oxygen furnace, recovered on leaving the
furnace. The gas is also known as converter gas, LD gas or BOS gas.

16. Hard coal

The term ‘hard coal’ refers to coal of gross calorific value greater than 23 865 kJ/kg
(5 700 kcal/kg) on an ashfree but moist basis and with a mean random reflectance of
vitrinite of at least 0,6. Hard coal comprises all energy products from 1 to 3 together
(anthracite, coking coal and other bituminous coal).

1.2.

(including pumped storage) measured at the output terminals of the main generators.

— Gross heat production: the total heat produced by the installation and includes the heat used by the
installation's auxiliaries which use a hot fluid (space heating, liquid fuel heating etc.) and losses in the
installation/network heat exchanges, as well as heat from chemical processes used as a primary energy form.

— Net electricity production: the gross electricity production less the electrical energy absorbed by the

generating auxiliaries and the losses in the main generator transformers.

— Net heat production: the heat supplied to the distribution system as determined from measurements of the

outgoing and return flows.

The aggregates mentioned in the next table must be declared separately for main activity producer plants and for
autoproducer plants. Within these two types of plants, both gross and net electricity and heat production must be

Exports
Amounts of electricity are considered as imported or exported when they have crossed the political
boundaries of the country, whether customs clearance has taken place or not. If electricity is transited
through a country, the amount should be reported as both an import and an export.

Used for heat pumps

Used for electric powered steam boilers

Used for pumped storage

Used for electricity production

Energy supplied
For electricity: the sum of the net electrical energy production supplied by all power stations within the
country, reduced by the amount used simultaneously for heat pumps, electrically powered steam boilers,
pumping and reduced or increased by exports to or imports from abroad.
For heat: the sum of the net heat production for sale by all plants within a country, reduced by heat used
for electricity production and reduced or increased by exports or imports from abroad.

OIL AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

4.1.

Applicable energy products

Unless otherwise specified this data collection applies to all of the following energy products:

Energy product

Definition

1.

Crude oil

Crude oil is a mineral oil of natural origin comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons and
associated impurities, such as sulphur. It exists in the liquid phase under normal
surface temperature and pressure and its physical characteristics (density, viscosity,
etc.) are highly variable. This category includes field or lease condensate recovered
from associated and non-associated gas where it is commingled with the commercial
crude oil stream.

2.

NGL

NGL are liquid or liquefied hydrocarbons recovered from natural gas in separation
facilities or gas processing plants. Natural gas liquids include ethane, propane, butane
(normal and iso-), (iso) pentane and pentanes plus (sometimes referred to as natural
gasoline or plant condensate).

3.

Refinery feedstocks

A refinery feedstock is a processed oil destined for further processing (e.g. straight
run fuel oil or vacuum gas oil) excluding blending. With further processing, it will be
transformed into one or more components and/or finished products. This definition
also covers returns from the petrochemical industry to the refining industry (e.g.
pyrolysis gasoline, C4 fractions, gasoil and fuel oil fractions).

4.

Additives/oxygen-
ates

4.1. Of which: biofuels

Additives are non-hydrocarbon compounds added to or blended with a product to
modify fuel properties (octane, cetane, cold properties, etc.):
— oxygenates, such as alcohols (methanol, ethanol), ethers (such as MTBE (methyl
tertiary butyl ether), ETBE (ethyl tertiary butyl ether), TAME (tertiary amyl
methyl ether)),

— esters (e.g. rapeseed or dimethylester, etc.),
— chemical compounds (such as TML, TEL and detergents).
Note: quantities of additives/oxygenates (alcohols, ethers, esters and other chemical
compounds) reported in this category should relate to the quantities destined for
blending with fuels or for fuel use.

Biogasoline and bio-diesels. The definitions of Chapter 5, Renewable energy and
energy from waste, apply.
Quantities of liquid biofuels reported in this category relate to the biofuel and not to
the total volume of liquids into which the biofuels are blended.
Excludes all trade of biofuels which have not been blended with transport fuels (i.e.
in their pure form); these should be reported as per Chapter 5. The biofuels traded as
part of transport fuels should be reported in the appropriate product indicating the
biofuel portion.

5.

Other hydrocarbons

Synthetic crude oil from tar sands, shale oil, etc., liquids from coal liquefaction (see
Chapter 1), output of
liquids from natural gas conversion into gasoline (see
Chapter 2), hydrogen and emulsified oils (e.g. orimulsion).
Excludes oil shale production, for which Chapter 1 applies.
The production of shale oil (secondary product) is to be reported as ‘from other
sources’ in the ‘other hydrocarbons category’.

6.

Refinery gas (not
liquefied)

Refinery gas includes a mixture of non-condensible gases mainly consisting of
hydrogen, methane, ethane and olefins obtained during distillation of crude oil or
treatment of oil products (e.g. cracking) in refineries. This also includes gases which
are returned from the petrochemical industry.

7.

Ethane

8.

LPG

A naturally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon (C2H6) extracted from natural gas
and refinery gas streams.

LPG are light paraffinic hydrocarbons derived from the refinery processes, crude oil
stabilisation and natural gas processing plants. They consist mainly of propane
(C3H8) and butane (C4Hl0) or a combination of the two. They could also include
propylene, butylene, isopropylene and isobutylene. LPG are normally liquefied under
pressure for transportation and storage.

manufacture or aromatics production) or for gasoline production by reforming or
isomerisation within the refinery.
Naphtha comprises material in the 30 oC and 210 oC distillation range or part of this
range.

10. Motor gasoline

Motor gasoline consists of a mixture of light hydrocarbons distilling between 35 oC
and 215 oC. It is used as a fuel for land based spark ignition engines. Motor gasoline
may include additives, oxygenates and octane enhancers, including lead compounds
such as TEL and TML.
Includes motor gasoline blending components (excluding additives/oxygenates), e.g.
alkylates, isomerate, reformate, cracked gasoline destined for use as finished motor
gasoline.

12. Gasoline type jet fuel
(naphtha type jet
fuel or JP4)

This includes all light hydrocarbon oils for use in aviation turbine power units,
distilling between 100 oC and 250 oC. They are obtained by blending kerosenes and
gasoline or naphthas in such a way that the aromatic content does not exceed 25 %
in volume, and the vapour pressure is between 13,7 kPa and 20,6 kPa.

13. Kerosene type jet

fuel

Distillate used for aviation turbine power units.
It has the same distillation
characteristics between 150 oC and 300 oC (generally not above 250 oC) and flash
point as kerosene. In addition, it has particular specifications (such as freezing point)
which are established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Includes kerosene blending components.

14. Other kerosene

Refined petroleum distillate used in sectors other than aircraft transport. It distils
between 150 oC and 300 oC.

Definition

Refined distillate intermediates with a distillation in the naphtha/kerosene range.
They are subdivided as:
— Industrial spirit (SBP): light oils distilling between 30 oC and 200 oC. There are
7 or 8 grades of industrial spirit, depending on the position of the cut in the
distillation range. The grades are defined according to the temperature
difference between the 5 % volume and 90 % volume distillation points (which
is not more than 60 oC).

— White spirit: industrial spirit with a flash point above 30 oC. The distillation

range of white spirit is 135 oC to 200 oC.

Hydrocarbons produced from distillate by-product; they are mainly used to reduce
friction between bearing surfaces.
Includes all finished grades of lubricating oil, from spindle oil to cylinder oil, and
those used in greases, motor oils and all grades of lubricating oil base stocks.

Solid, semi-solid or viscous hydrocarbon with a colloidal structure, being brown to
black in colour, obtained as a residue in the distillation of crude oil, by vacuum
distillation of oil residues from atmospheric distillation. Bitumen is often referred to
as asphalt and is primarily used for construction of roads and for roofing material.
Includes fluidised and cut back bitumen.

These are saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. These waxes are residues extracted when
dewaxing lubricant oils. They have a crystalline structure which is more-or-less fine
according to the grade. Their main characteristics are as follows: they are colourless,
