II. Overview over the general structure of the
SEEA-MFA
Linking the material flows of the SEEA to the economic flows of the SNA

Specific PSUT
Physical supply and use
tables for specific groups or
categories of material, like
energy, metals, other minerals, water, biotic materials,
air emissions, waste

Meso-level
Sectoral

II. Classifications and standard tables
1 . Classifications
Proposals:
- An environment related standard breakdown for products (CPC) and
industries (ISIC) should be developed based by using preferably the 1- , 2 and
3 digit level
- For environmental flows the classifications for the Eurostat EW-MFAcc
questionnaire should be used
- A harmonization of the Eurostat EW-MFAcc product classification should be
considered
2. Standard tables
Proposals:
Starting point is a general frame of supply and use
activities (especially standard breakdown of industries) that will be
Applied to all specific supply and use tables.
The specific PSUT to be defined for the individual sub-accounts will use
the format of the general supply and use tables. They will deviate
from the general format in two aspects:
1. Only selected materials or groups of material will be included
2. The standard breakdown by material or industries might be specifically
disaggregated for each sub-account.

IV. Structure of the manual
Chapter 1 Introduction to the SEEA-MFA
Chapter 2 The SEEA-MFA framework
Basic concepts, principles and characteristics, the SNA, Material flows and the
Economy, general framework of physical supply-use and input-ouput tables
(PSUT/PIOT)
Chapter 3 SEEA-MFA sub-accounts
3.1 EW-MFAcc
3.2 PSUT for specific materials or group of materials (Agricultural and related products,
wood and wood products, energy carriers, metals and related products, other minerals
and related products, water and waste water, air Emissions, waste, waste water
emissions
Chapter 4 Analytical approaches based on the specific sub-accounts
Indicators, hybrid flow accounts, raw material equivalents
Chapter 5 Applying the PSUT tool of SEEA-MFAcc for other types of physical
flow accounts
5.1 PSUT for physical service flows (PSFAcc)
5.2 PSUT for material flows related to non-SEEA entities
