Definitions and explanations
An environmentally motivated subsidy is determined by the motivation of the subsidy/the appropriation that gave rise to the subsidy. Does not include all subsidies from EU. Includes payments from Government (classifiesdas given support) to producers, individuals, organisations, non-profit-making associations, municipalities and county councils as well as to EU countries and international activities. This definition is broader than the one used in the national accounts.
The definition of a subsidy used by Statistics Sweden's environmental accountants is based on the transfer in the Result of the government budget called (free translation) "Given support". Only if such a transfer is given from a budget that has been classified as environmentally motivated, it will be included in the table above as environmentally motivated subsidies. There can also be many other payments, such as for example salaries and rent, from a n apropriation classified as environmentally motivated and those payments will not be included above.
