Summary/Abstract: Satellite accounts provide more detail by rearranging concepts from the central national accounts framework or by giving supplementary information. The most common EU satellite accounts focus on the environment, tourism, agriculture, health, productivity, and research and development. In December 2008 the European Parliament and the Council adopted a framework Regulation for statistics concerning public health and health and safety at work. That regulation is addressing five domains: health care, health status and health determinants, accidents at work, occupational diseases and other work-related health problems and causes of death. For Romania there have been taken decisions in the development of satellite accounts for health although their real implementation remains a far desideratum yet.
