Non-SNA housing Housing services excluded from the core national accounts comprise interior decoration, maintenance and cleaning, gardening and yard maintenance. The value of non-SNA housing services was 21.3 billion euros. Travel, shopping and services allocated to housing add a further 4.7 billion euros to this figure. They account for almost one-fifth of non-SNA housing production. Although travel and services are placed in their entirety under non-SNA housing, in reality part of them serve production that is included in the national accounts. For example, the own-account construction of a house involves a large number of acquisitions and a lot of transportation. Figure 3 shows SNA housing production and non-SNA housing production; travel and services related to housing is furthermore presented separately for the latter. Overall, non-SNA housing production is more labour-intensive than SNA production. The total value of housing services and own-account construction is over 38 billion euros. Figure 3. Own-account production of housing services, value and structure Million euros 25,000 20,000 15,000 Intermediate consumption Consumption of fixed capital Net value added 10,000 5,000 0 SNA production Non-SNA production Travel and services Meals and snacks SNA food The production of meals and snacks comprises both SNA and non-SNA production. SNA production includes the production of agricultural and garden produce as well as the output of fishing, hunting, mushroom and berry picking. The sum total is relatively modest at no more than 0.2 billion euros. In the national accounts SNA food production is calculated using the output method. Felled elk, fish catches, berry harvests, vegetables grown etc. are valued at factor costs (without taxes). Neither intermediate consumption nor consumption of fixed capital have been subtracted from output, so the value of output is equal to net value added.

In the Satellite Account, however, such items as garden soils, seeds and fertilizers as well as fishing and hunting supplies are placed under the heading of intermediate consumption. Fishing and hunting equipment, for its part, is recorded under capital goods. Fishing and hunting licence fees have been treated as taxes on production; these have been transferred to the production account from income transfers paid by households. When these items are taken into consideration, the mixed income category remains rather small and in some types of households is even negative – which goes to show that fishing and hunting are indeed above all leisure activities. In this case it is easy for people to accept that the costs can be higher than the output. (See Appendix 7, p.1,4,7) Figure 4 illustrates the structure of SNA and non-SNA food production. The Figure illustrating non-SNA food production shows not only the various production elements, but also groceries shopping and related travel, which can be seen as a separate but necessary ancillary activity in the provision of meals. It accounts for 21 per cent of the total value of output. It includes the amount of time spent in groceries shopping and the corresponding proportion of the running costs of cars and other vehicles. The reason it is presented separately here as well as in the following structural figures is so that the share of this activity in each principal function can be demonstrated. The activity is here included under non-SNA production, even though part if it also serves SNA production. Fishing, hunting and berry picking trips usually require a car. Figure 4.
