1 - Better to place supply between production and transformation.
2 - What is Section F?
5 - We are not sure if we should use main, for the main source since there are several other ways of
accessing info depending if we address production, transformation or consumption.
6 - Censuses can also certainly help for knowing detailed information on households for instance:
appliances rate, etc... So, we should not be too negative for censuses on consumption.
10 - What is "artificial climate"? heating and air conditioning?
12 - No... computers and cell phones are not gadgets...
18 - Why "high" costs? It is not always the cost.
Involving national statistics offices, etc. is not always necessary. If you take the example of France,
other structures conduct reliable surveys as well.
19 - Again the "high" cost.
20 - Not only the weights or volumes, but also the energy (examples: electricity consumption).
Which are "often" derived from.... No, not often. If you take the case of biomass consumed, people
either buy it or collect it on a daily, sometimes weekly basis. The stocks cannot there be measured on a
daily (weekly) basis.
23 - Maybe a language problem with the sentence "The register and data referred to...".
Why only limiting the use of the data to statistical offices...
26 - Why putting between brackets (e.g. energy balances). There are many more examples of complete
energy information. A balance seems to be more on an aggregated level.
28 - Yes.
29 - Be careful SDMX had often another meaning than SDMX as referred in many places in the
document.
34 - Barrel is usually not used for small units.
35 - We should also include training of the people of the surveys. As well as some small material such
as a scale to weight wood or charcoal, meters, etc...
39 - (a) We should make a distinction between main activity producers and auto-producers.
Coal mines instead of mines.
40 - Why making the distinction between public and private?
43 - (b) Are you addressing here auto producers?
45 - It is equally important to know the consumption of other industries (for instance, the iron and
steel) for several reasons: GHG as well as energy efficiency (indicators).

Before 50, there is a need to talk about non-energy use.
50 - Add transformation to the list (in two places): production, supply, transformation and
consumption...
53, 56, 59 - Energy sector...
59 - Yes, we agree. But not always easy.
63 - Infra annual data: Don't forget to add trade as well.
76 - We should find a place to mention that there is an obvious need for proper resources. Often there
are too few people in charge of statistics.
Before 81 - We should have a paragraph on dissemination of the work.
