Non-SNA hous<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Hous<strong>in</strong>g services excluded from the core national accounts comprise <strong>in</strong>terior<br />
decoration, ma<strong>in</strong>tenance <strong>and</strong> clean<strong>in</strong>g, garden<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> yard ma<strong>in</strong>tenance. The<br />
value of non-SNA hous<strong>in</strong>g services was 21.3 billion euros. Travel, shopp<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>and</strong> services allocated to hous<strong>in</strong>g add a further 4.7 billion euros to this figure.<br />
They account for almost one-fifth of non-SNA hous<strong>in</strong>g production. Although<br />
travel <strong>and</strong> services are placed <strong>in</strong> their entirety under non-SNA hous<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong><br />
reality part of them serve production that is <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the national accounts.<br />
For example, the own-account construction of a house <strong>in</strong>volves a large number<br />
of acquisitions <strong>and</strong> a lot of transportation.<br />
Figure 3 shows SNA hous<strong>in</strong>g production <strong>and</strong> non-SNA hous<strong>in</strong>g<br />
production; travel <strong>and</strong> services related to hous<strong>in</strong>g is furthermore presented<br />
separately for the latter. Overall, non-SNA hous<strong>in</strong>g production is more<br />
labour-<strong>in</strong>tensive than SNA production. The total value of hous<strong>in</strong>g services <strong>and</strong><br />
own-account construction is over 38 billion euros.<br />

SNA food<br />
The production of meals <strong>and</strong> snacks comprises both SNA <strong>and</strong> non-SNA<br />
production. SNA production <strong>in</strong>cludes the production of agricultural <strong>and</strong><br />
garden produce as well as the output of fish<strong>in</strong>g, hunt<strong>in</strong>g, mushroom <strong>and</strong> berry<br />
pick<strong>in</strong>g. The sum total is relatively modest at no more than 0.2 billion euros. In<br />
the national accounts SNA food production is calculated us<strong>in</strong>g the output<br />
method. Felled elk, fish catches, berry harvests, vegetables grown etc. are<br />
valued at factor costs (without taxes). Neither <strong>in</strong>termediate consumption nor<br />
consumption of fixed capital have been subtracted from output, so the value<br />
of output is equal to net value added.<br />
