Worldwide consultation

In order to ensure a worldwide consultation throughout the revision process for the International Recommendations for Energy Statistics (IRES), UNSD has set up a consultation process consisting of two stages: (i) an initial consultation on the scope and content of the future recommendation (May-June 2008); and (ii) a final consultation on the full text of the provisional draft of IRES as soon as it is completed (expected to take place in 2009).

1st stage of the worldwide consultation

On 14 May 2008 the 1st stage of the worldwide consultation was launched. A letter was sent to countries to seek their views on the draft outline of IRES which was prepared in close cooperation with the Oslo Group on Energy Statistics. In order to facilitate countries response, unofficial translation of the letter and the draft outline of IRES are made available in French, Spanish and Russian.
