Eurostat. Eurostat Statistics: Government Finance Statistics | EU: EU25 | EU: European Union (25 countries) | Eurostat Variable: State government : Subsidies, payable : Million euro, 1995 - 2015. Data-Planet™ Statistical Datasets by Conquest Systems, Inc. Dataset-ID: 065-001-002 Dataset: Provides a series of indicators representing Government Finance Statistics for the European Union, the euro area, EU Member States, candidate countries, European Free Trade Association countries, US, Japan, and other countries on an ad hoc basis. Statistics show the economic activities of general government and its four subsectors: central government (S.1311); state government (S.1312); local government (S.1313); and social security funds (S.1314). Data are presented on government revenue, government expenditure, government deficit, transactions in assets, transactions in liabilities, other economic flows, and balance sheets. Statistics are produced in accordance with the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA 95), the EU manual for national accounts, supplemented by further interpretation and guidance from Eurostat. NOTE: The sector general government (S.13) includes all institutional units that are other non-market producers whose output is intended for individual and collective consumption, and mainly financed by compulsory payments made by units belonging to other sectors, and/or all institutional units principally engaged in the redistribution of national income and wealth. Provides harmonized, national-level data on the euro area, European Union (EU) member states, EU candidate states, and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, where available. Indicators are presented in seven broad categories: economy and finance; population and social conditions; industry, trade, and services; agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; international trade; transportation; environment and energy; and science and technology. The euro area comprises the EU member states that adopted the euro as their common currency, which was established in January 1999 with 11 countries and has expanded to 17 countries known as the EA-17: Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland. The EU (EU-27) includes the EA-17 countries plus: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. EFTA currently comprises Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. For further information on the countries included in the statistics presented in this dataset, please visit http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Main_Page . Data are provided by national statistical authorities to Eurostat, where they are harmonized using European-wide methodologies. Data are released at the indicator level on a schedule maintained by Eurostat; hence, currency may vary across indicators. Periodicity is annual for all indicators; monthly and quarterly data is also provided where available. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/estat-navtree-portlet-prod/BulkDownloadListing Category: Government and Politics, International Relations and Trade Subject: European Union, Public Finance, Government Receipts, Government Spending Source: Eurostat Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union (EU) located in Luxembourg. Eurostat was established in 1953 to meet the requirements of the Coal and Steel Community. Over the years its task has broadened, and it became a Directorate-General (DG) of the European Commission when the European Community was founded in 1958. Eurostat’s key role is to supply comparable statistics on European Union member state and candidate and European Free Trade Association countries to other DGs and supply the Commission and other European Institutions with data so they can define, implement, and analyze EU policies. Eurostat does not collect data; rather, the agency’s role is to consolidate data sent from the statistical authorities of member states and ensure they are comparable, harmonized according to Europe-wide methodologies. With the development of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the establishment of the euro as the single currency, Eurostat now publishes economic indicators for the whole euro-zone. http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/
