(In question 1, one Member State split part of her answers. )

How do you assess the viability of a cross-table of 2-digit COFOG with a more detailed classification by economic categories than

the present-one (additional breakdowns)?

How do you assess an extension of cross-table 11 “Expenditure of general government by function” of the ESA95-transmission-

programme from 1-digit COFOG to 2-digit COFOG?

Data, which would need to be ascertained new. These data might be produced in the future, provided that a common commitment / financing has been

These data cannot be produced (at least not with any tolerable effort).

Questions 1-7 are based on the notion, that the respective data can be classified into five groups:

How do you assess the chances to consider investment expenditure (capital formation) gross of sales of assets?

Data, which are published by the Member State and/or are submitted to Eurostat. These data are available immediately.

Data, which are already produced the Member States, but not published yet. These data could be submitted immediately without any additional effort.

Data, which can be produced rather easily without substantial effort. Data of this category could be submitted within short time.
