Current situation • Iceland, FYR of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey: • Official candidate countries • Albania: • applied for membership • not yet been recognised as official candidate country • Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo(*): • association agreement • preparing application * This designation is without prejudice to position on status and is in line with UNSCR 1244 and the ICJ opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence
Memento • Single Entry Point ("EDAMIS" transmission system) • Use only standard questionnaires (Excel format) • Use the correct units (e.g. prices: NAC/kWh or GJ) • Electricity prices: report disaggregated prices (production/network) every second reporting • Every 2 years: Price systems (info on the survey, taxes etc.).
Cooperation with Eurostat Examples of recent cooperation: • Candidate Countries • Development initiatives within the EU • Medstat • Energy consumption in households Cooperation activities: • Very big activities in past decennium (12 accessions) • Much reduced in recent years
Cooperation with Candidate Countries • Meetings and presentations (funded traveling) • Traineeships • Central funding ("enlargement") e.g. IPA • Compliance monitoring • Processing of statistical data
Cooperation with other Energy Community Countries [1/2] • Meetings and presentations Participation is possible, but no funding • No processing of statistical data on energy quantities • Participation to workshops • Synergies with Inogate … ?
Cooperation with other Energy Community Countries [2/2] • Service contractbeneficiaries: Albania, Bosnia& H, Montenegro, Kosovo* • Grant beneficiaries: Croatia, FYR o. MK., Serbia, Turkey More flexible arrangement Proposals still possible • Traineeships
Traineeships • NEPT (National Experts on Professional Training) • IPA (Instrument for Pre-Accession) • Eligible countries: Albania, Bosnia & H, Croatia, FYR o.

The long term view … • Practical implementation needs further reflection • Processing capabilities in Eurostat do not extend beyond the EU area (including CC) • However, all important questionnaires are fully compatible with the IEA Reporting to the IEA will ensure competent QA if Eurostat is not in a position of processing your data
