A short background
At the 36th Session of the UN Statistical Commission, energy was in the spotlight of the Commission
This led to the Ad-hoc Energy Group Meeting on 23-25 May 2005 organised by UNSD in New York
This subsequently led to the recommendation to establish:A City Group (the Oslo City Group)
An Inter Secretariat Working Group (InterEnerStat)

A glance at the terms of reference
City Group1)To identify users’ needs
2)To define scope of official energy statistics
3)To identify and collect national and international best practices
4)To review and contribute to the updating of UNSD handbooks and manuals on energy statistics
5)To identify gaps in coverage (e.g. fuel types, flows) and to develop methodology to cover gaps
6)To adopt link or develop bridges to inter-national standard concepts and classifications in economic/ environment statistics to facilitate the integration and interface of energy statistics with other statistical systems
7)To recommend a core set of tables as minimum requirement at national and international level to satisfy major users’ needs

7)To recommend a core set of tables as minimum requirement at national and international level to satisfy major users’ needs
Inter-Secretariat Working Group1)To make inventory of the current data collection-
processing-dissemination system of the major organisations working on energy statistics
2)To reduce the reporting burden by harmonizing (when possible) data collection, data processing and dissemination by limiting duplication and/or by building links/bridges between the existing energy statistics questionnaires, concepts and methods and timetables
3)To improve distribution of the collecting/ processing work between organisations and enhance data sharing and transmission once data validation procedures have been agreed and implemented
4)To improve coordination of energy statistics with social, economic and environmental statistics and on the international level
5)To promote training and capacity building and coordinate the related efforts
6)To create joint forums to promote the dialogue of statisticians and the user community
7)To raise the profile of energy statistics and energy statisticians at all levels

Cooperation between Organisations
Joining forcesEach organisation has strengths and weaknessesOrganisations have particular areas of expertiseOrganisations, like countries, face resources cutsSame objective: better energy statistics
Raising the profile of energy statistics and statisticiansEnergy offer suffer of a deficit of image
Global initiatives draw the attention of policy makers at the highest level JODI had started to certainly contribute to raising profile of energy statistics
Improve global transparencyReduce the risks of differences between data released by various organisations
Same information collected by all countriesPotential reduction of the processing work for organisations
Reduce the reporting burden passed to countriesOnly to prepare one questionnaire instead of 3, 4, 5…Mexico: APEC, IEA/OECD, UNSD (US, Canada, Chile, Japan, …)EU countries: Eurostat, IEA/OECD, UNECE, UNSD.

Why a need for more international cooperation
Markets are more and more global
More work passed to statisticians
Lack of resources
Stronger together
Need international consensus (definitions, for instance)
Reduce the burden passed to countries
Raise the profile of energy statistics at the highest level

A tailor made questionnaire for Africa based on the same logics
as the 5 joint IEA-Eurostat-UNECE questionnaires
The payback on cooperation with AFREC was very high: the first edition of the
Africa Energy Statistics book
Example: cooperation with AFREC

Some thoughts for future activities
Harmonisation of training material and common training sessions seem to be a top priority for many organisations.
A need of harmonised guidelines on data quality checking
Joint training sessions and common material already happen/exist: JODI training sessions, UNSD-IEA, AFREC-IEA, JODI, etc.
Solid biofuels account for 10% of global energy supply and demand, but it could be very well 15% or 20%. Therefore the need of a manual or guidelines on good and best practices to collect these data.
A need for a manual specific topics of methodology: for instance, energy balances (on the radar screen of Eurostat)
Thank youThank you
InterEnerStat meeting on training at the IEA in December 2012: a need to follow it up on the topic (internet based, etc.)
Energy efficiency manual is also key, but IEA should have one ready by end of the year.
Important to note that Eurostat has established a brainstorming group on the future of energy statistics (EU)
