Member States are to provide an inventory of the sources and methods used to produce GNI aggregates and their components in accordance with ESA 2010 (‘GNI Inventory’, as laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1546) ( 9 ) . In their respective GNI Inventory, Member States shall include a description of the identified exhaustiveness gaps and of the methods applied to ensure exhaustiveness of their GDP estimates and state the value of the adjustments made. This description shall include the following elements:
(a)
identification of types of non-exhaustiveness for which adjustments are needed due to absence, evasion or exemption, or due to statistical deficiencies in the data;
(b)
identification of the individual elements of non-exhaustiveness within each type of non-exhaustiveness referred to in point (a);
(c)
presentation of how the identified types and elements of non-exhaustiveness are connected to the methods applied to ensure exhaustiveness and presentation of an overview of adjustments made for the different types and elements of non-exhaustiveness;
(d)
description of the exhaustiveness methods applied to address the identified types and elements of non-exhaustiveness.
1. The types of non-exhaustiveness referred to in Article 4(a) shall be those listed in Annex I to this Regulation. These types are pertinent to the situation where the source data are obtained from surveys or administrative collections of producers. Therefore, these types shall be first and foremost applied in the analysis of exhaustiveness in the context of GDP compilation by the production approach. They can also be applied to the analysis by the income and expenditure approaches to GDP provided that the source data are also obtained from surveys or administrative collections of producers.
2. The individual elements of non-exhaustiveness within each type of non-exhaustiveness, referred to in Article 4(b), may be (but are not limited to) those examples described in Annex I to this Regulation.
3. Connecting the identified types and elements of non-exhaustiveness to the methods applied to ensure exhaustiveness and the presentation of the overview of adjustments made for the different types and elements of non-exhaustiveness referred to in Article 4(c) shall make use of the overview tables whose required content is set out in Annex II to this Regulation. This shall be done first and foremost for the components of the production approach to GDP and, provided that the source data are obtained from surveys or administrative collections of producers, for the relevant components of the expenditure and income approaches to GDP.
