1993 SNA Update Information - AEG recommendations for issue:
Délimitation des secteurs public, privé et du secteur des administrations publiques

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Selon le SCN de 1993, deux facteurs déterminent si une société ou une institution sans but lucratif est contrôlée par une administration publique et appartient ainsi au secteur public. L’un d’eux est le degré de contrôle exercé par une administration publique. L’expression « principalement financées », désignant des institutions sans but lucratif, a suscité des inquiétudes. Par ailleurs, le contrôle des véhicules à vocation spéciale (VVS), notamment ceux qui sont établis dans le contexte de partenariats public privé (PPP) ou de la titrisation, n’est pas toujours évident. Le second facteur concerne les « prix économiquement significatifs ». L’ambiguïté possible du concept a également provoqué des préoccupations. Est il possible d’étoffer davantage la description sans toutefois prescrire une part fixe des coûts à acquitter à même les ventes?
AEG recommendations
Number of AEG recommendations for selected issue:2
  Corresponding meetingDate postedRecommendation
 Jan-Feb 20064/7/2006(a) The AEG agreed. The description of the decision tree, which relates to units and not production, should be set out in the chapter on government and the public sector. Further elaboration is required for quasi-corporations.
(b) The AEG agreed that the list of indicators is useful, but emphasised that they should be used in conjunction with each other in reaching a decision on control, rather than any one of them necessarily being definitive in its own right. The AEG felt that the text set out in the TFHPSA paper was too long to be incorporated directly into the SNA.
(c) The AEG agreed with the guidance set out to determine what constitutes “economically significant prices”. The AEG felt the SNA should avoid being prescriptive in relation to the use of a specific threshold (such as the ESA95 50% rule).
 July 20059/12/2005Following detailed discussions on the above recommendations and a broad level of support, the AEG decided that there are still a number of questions requiring further clarification before final decisions can be made. Therefore, the AEG chair requested members to send detailed comments to Lucie Laliberté and to Jean-Pierre Dupuis by the end of August. The authors should take into account these comments in conjunction with the comments made during the meeting to produce a revised version of the paper for e-discussion with the aim of finalising this question at the next AEG meeting.
