Data Collection
Supply side approach Main Sources for data compilation:
– Existing statistics– Surveys
Demand side approach as a secondary / complementary source, for certain activities (e.g. EP environmental specific services, ancillary EP activities)

The Standard Tables
The Standard Tables are the main tool to report EGSS statistics to Eurostat
They have been organised to be as simple and user-friendly as possible
They allow for the collection of very detailed data
They offer the possibility of being filled in at different levels of detail
