EREŚ jako wyraz rangi środowiska naturalnego w statystyce publicznej
EEEA as evidence for the importance of the natural environment in public statistics

Summary/Abstract: European Environmental Economic Accounts, supplementing the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (ESA 2010), provide significant information on economic factors determining environmental protection and environmental resources. For this reason, a number of actions and legal regulations have been introduced (both on a European and global scale) for the past 20 years, which has greatly contributed to the development of EEEA system. Their number and scope prove that environmental issues are of profound (and growing) importance in public statistics and socio-economic life. Hence, it is worth looking at legal regulations designed to develop EEE system. In the paper, selected documents were analysed, the literature on the subject was reviewed and deductive reasoning was adopted. This enabled the author to discuss the possible uses of European Environmental Economic Accounts, benefits accruing from using them as well as conditions under which such benefits can be gained. The article is aimed at disseminating information on European Environmental Economic Accounts and propagating the idea behind the system.
