Usage of manuals of Energy Statistics in Mexico

A relevant diagnosis by Mr. Paul Cheung, Director, UNSD:«Energy statistics is often not included in the traditional work of statistical offices. In the majority of countries, energy ministries, agencies specialized in one fuel type or in one particular flow, or sometimes large energy companies, are responsible for energy statistics. Country energy data is often produced outside the system of official statistics.» Opening speech in the Ad-hoc Energy Group Meeting (New York, 23-25 May 2005).

4. Some recommendations for improvement of Manuals

A diagnosis on the best practices for the generation, compilation and systematization of energy statistics will require:

1. A Questionnaire on best practices (the state of the art) for the production and compilation of Energy Statistics. Energy Ministry and the national statistical office should participate.

2. Follow up the UN’s recent experiences: (i) the UN Questionnaire on Environment Statistics 1999-

2006, and(ii) the questionnaire for a Global Assessment on

Environment Statistics and Environmental-Economic Accounting, promoted by the UN Committee of Experts on EEA (UNCEEA)

4. Some recommendations for improvement of Manuals

4. Some recommendations for improvement of Manuals

3. Link and bridge energy statistics with environment statistics and/or sustainable development. The experience of IAEA for the elaboration of Indicators for Sustainable Energy Development can be used.

4. Mexico can contribute its experience in improving the manuals of Energy Statistics and Energy Accounts towards 2010. Its work experiences on the matter and with LAC countries can be useful.
