ANNEX A

This Annex supplies explanations or definitions of terms that are used in the other Annexes. For statistical reporting purposes only, the following geographical definitions apply: Australia excludes the overseas territories, Denmark excludes the Faeroe Islands and Greenland, France includes Monaco and excludes the French overseas territories Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Réunion, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Mayotte, Italy includes San Marino and the Vatican, Japan includes Okinawa, The Netherlands excludes Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles, Portugal includes the Azores and Madeira, Spain includes the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, and Ceuta and Melilla, Switzerland does not include Liechtenstein, United States includes the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam. Producers are classified according to the purpose of production: Main activity producer: enterprises, both privately or publicly owned, which generate electricity and/or heat for sale to third parties, as their principal activity. Autoproducers: enterprises, both privately or publicly owned, which generate electricity and/or heat wholly or partly for their own use as an activity which supports their primary activity. Note: the Commission may further clarify terminology by adding relevant NACE references in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 11(2) after a revision of the NACE classification has entered into force. Production/indigenous production Quantities of fuels extracted or produced, calculated after any operation for removal of inert matter. Production includes the quantities consumed by the producer in the production process (e.g. for heating or operation of equipment and auxiliaries) as well as supplies to other producers of energy for transformation or other uses. Indigenous means: production from resources within the concerned state. Imports/exports For geographical definitions see ‘Geographical notes’ section. Unless specified differently, ‘imports’ refer to ultimate origin (the country in which the energy product was produced) for use in the country and ‘exports’ to the ultimate country of consumption of the produced energy product. Amounts are considered as imported or exported when they have crossed the political boundaries of the country, whether customs clearance has taken place or not. Where no origin or destination can be reported ‘other’ may be used. Statistical differences may arise if only total import and export are available on the above basis, while the geographical breakdown is based on a different survey, source or concept. In this case, differences shall be included under ‘other’. International marine bunkers Quantities of fuels delivered to ships of all flags that are engaged in international navigation. The international navigation may take place at sea, on inland lakes and waterways, and in coastal waters. Excluded is: consumption by ships engaged in domestic navigation. The domestic/international split should be determined on the basis of port of departure and port of arrival, and not by the flag or nationality of the ship, consumption by fishing vessels, consumption by military forces. Stock changes The difference between the opening stock level and closing stock level for stocks held on national territory. Gross consumption (calculated) Calculated value, defined as: indigenous production + from other sources + imports - exports - international marine bunkers + stock changes Gross consumption (observed) The quantity actually recorded in surveys of end-use sectors. Statistical differences Calculated value, defined as: calculated gross consumption — observed gross consumption. Includes changes in stocks at final consumers when this cannot be specified as part of the ‘stock changes’. Reasons for any major differences should be stated.
