7. The 1st InterEnerStat Workshop22-23 November 2005, IEA, Paris • To hear from each organisation what they do, what are their problems and their expectation for more co-operation • Expectations from each organisation regarding cooperation

8. UN OAPEC WORLD BANK OPEC From InterEnerStat 1 to InterEnerStat 2 EUROSTAT FAO The first step was to collect from each organisation its own set of definitions

9. From InterEnerStat 1 to InterEnerStat 2 The second step was to assemble definitions of products and flows from all organisations

10. Act II - the 2ndInterEnerStat Workshop19-20 November 2007, IEA, Paris • Review of the website including the pages on definitions • Definition of a strategy towards harmonisation • Decision to hire an international expert

11. A view of the web site

12. From InterEnerStat 2 to InterEnerStat 3 • An expert has been contracted for: • Looking at flows and products • Highlighting similarities and differences • Proposing a “compromise” definition for each flow/product

13. Act III - the 3rdInterEnerStatWorkshop28-30 October 2008, IEA, Paris • Three intense days of discussion • A series of decisions adopted • Additional work passed to the consultant

14. From InterEnerStat 3 to InterEnerStat 4 The revised ‘compromise’ definitions have been sent to all organisations for comments

15. From InterEnerStat 3 to InterEnerStat 4 Comments have been sent by several organisations and assembled into two documents on flows and products

16. Act IV - the 4thInterEnerStatWorkshopOctober 2009, IEA, Paris • Three intense days of discussion • More than 95% of definitions agreed by participants • Additional work passed to consultant and organisations

17. Already a wide impact of InterEnerStat The harmonised definitions constitute the basis of the definitions proposed in Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 of the IRES Manual The IEA has already made some small changes in its terminology (energy sector becomes energy industry own use, etc.) APEC has harmonised its questionnaire with Eurostat, IEA, UNECE

18. UN EUROSTAT OAPEC OPEC One questionnaire to all, dream or reality ? FAO AFREC ?

19. And now… Still some work to do for finalising the harmonisation of all the definitions. A need to re-circulate the revised defintions to all the participating organisations Harmonisation of all the questionnaires, common training material, common training sessions are some examples of what could be next in terms of cooperation Enormous challenge. Active participation and great commitment from 20+ organisations. Experience and hard work from the consultant. Cooperation and willingness were and are keys for InterEnerStat and for strengthening international energy statistics. Thank you
