Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
In the Annex of Chapter XIII, the 1993 SNA describes this item as consisting of “new information, specialized knowledge, etc., not elsewhere classified items, whose use in production is restricted to the units that have established ownership rights over them or to other units licensed by the latter”. No specific examples of items to be included have yet emerged. Should this category be retained or removed?

Jan-Feb20062006-04-07(a) The AEG agreed.
(b) The AEG agreed in principle, taking the view that there should be no categories that are not well-defined. However, the need for retaining this category should be re-examined after the work on leases and licences has been finalised.
(c) The AEG noted that the Canberra II Group was in favour of retaining the category despite not being able to identify anything that would be included in it. The need for this category will be further investigated by the Editor.
