First meeting of the Oslo Group on Energy Statistics
Oslo, Norway, 6-8 February 2006
Following the decision of the Bureau of the Statistical Commission, Statistics Norway invited countries and organizations to participate at the first meeting of the newly established city group on energy statistics, the Oslo Group, to be held on 6 – 8 February 2006 in Oslo, Norway.
The Oslo Group is designed to be a forum for the countries to discuss methodological issues, learn from good practices and to contribute to the methodological development of energy statistics. In a longer perspective, an objective will also be to harmonise energy statistics among countries, and thereby support the improvement of international energy statistics. As content and success of the work of the city group depend on the contributions from the countries, countries are encouraged to consider which area of energy statistics they are to contribute in the coming years of work ahead of the Oslo Group.
