Needs | - Information on the value added of the different products and economic activities related to the EGS sector (see Appendix I and II of Eurostat 2016) in the city.
- Value added is the value of the gross output of producers less the value of intermediate goods and services consumed in production, before accounting for consumption of fixed capital in production. It is calculated at either basic prices (excluding net taxes on products) or producer prices (including net taxes on products paid by producers but excluding sales or value added taxes). Both valuations exclude transport charges that are invoiced separately by producers. Total GDP is measured at purchaser prices. Value added by industry is normally measured at basic prices.

Expected Outputs | - Quantitative
- Unit: % of the city GDP/ year
|
Calculation methods | - Sum up of the added values of Environmental Goods & Services sector divided by the GDP of the city.
- In order to obtain the added value the EGS sector output from activities and products will need to be calculated first.
- The calculation procedure can be found in the chapter 3 and 5 of Eurostat 2016. Due to the extension of it will not be included in the fact sheet
