SURVEY OF HOUSEHOLD

EXPENDITURES

AMONG PENSIONERS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

INSTITUTIONS

EN

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This survey is being conducted by Eurostat (the Statistical Office of the European

Communities). The purpose is to collect information in order to estimate an average

expenditure pattern of retired European Union official's households in each

Member State.

The resulting pattern is an essential element in the calculation of purchasing power

parities (PPP) and the correction coefficient (CC) applicable to the pensions of

retired European Union officials.

Thus, the results of this survey will affect your pensions, and you therefore have

a direct interest. Only you have the necessary information to evaluate your

household expenditure which is the object of the survey. Please note that in order

to obtain statistically reliable results, a large number of replies is vital.

The purpose of the survey is not to know what you spend but how you spend.

This means that the pattern of your expenditure will allow us to give adequate

importance to different items in a basket of goods and services at the time of

calculating the PPP.

Please note that the information you give will remain completely anonymous. Its

origin cannot be traced since there is no name or number on the questionnaire. No

basic data from the questionnaire will be communicated to unauthorised persons.

The information you give will be combined with that of other retired officials in

order to calculate the average consumption structure of retired European Union

officials in your country of residence.

Before each section of the questionnaire, you will find detailed instructions on how

to complete that part. Please read them carefully before you begin to fill it in.

If you have any questions, please contact Eurostat as indicated on the back cover.

LAYOUT OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE

PART 1 Consists of some general information about your status, household

composition and your accommodation.

The remainder of the questionnaire refers to expenditures not only for you, but

for you and your household. Parts 2 to 6 refer only to expenditures in your country

of residence. Expenditures outside your country of residence are not taken into

account for CC calculations.

PART 2 Is a section on which you should note your dwelling-related regular

bills: often monthly ones, such as bills for gas, electricity, telephone,

etc.

PART 3 Here you should record some of the daily expenditure of the

household (mainly on food and beverages) over a period of 14

consecutive days.

PART 4 Is a section in which you should note the household expenditure on

items and services purchased during the last 12 months or an

average month of this period.

PART 5 Is a section in which you should note your education and health

expenditures and reimbursements during the last 12 months.

PART 6 Is a section in which you can note other expenses, i.e. if you have not

found a corresponding box.

GLOSSARY Contains a list of items and their corresponding boxes.

Please take the necessary time to complete parts 1-6 of the questionnaire.

Remember that an incomplete questionnaire is not likely to be usable, and your

efforts will be wasted. However, if you forget to record the purchase of a bus

ticket or a newspaper, this will have little impact on the overall quality of the

results.

If you cannot find an item of your expenditure in one of the boxes provided:

Consult the glossary, indicating under which position some selected items are

classified, or

Use the part 6 “OTHER EXPENSES”, specifying as much as possible the nature

and the amount of your expenditure.

Notes on part 1: PERSONAL INFORMATION

The information given in this section is essential to validate the survey results and

to gross these up to the total population of retired EU officials in your country of

residence.

Number of persons in your household

This age banding reflects the EU standard classification for social surveys and is not

linked to employer policies regarding education allowances or retirement.

Housing

The information concerning housing relates solely to your main dwelling in your

country of residence.

For the questions about accommodation status (tenant/owner) and dwelling type, an

'X' should be placed in the appropriate box.

As the accommodation cost is a very important element in the calculation of

correction coefficients, it is essential that all related questions are answered and

that the total area of living space be filled in accurately.

If you are a tenant*, please record your current monthly rent excluding charges

for utilities and other services such as common lighting, elevator, etc.

(* includes hotel, boarding house, sharing rent)

Exclude any payment for garage, unless this is an integral part of your rent.

Service and utility charges are shown in part 2 (regular bills) of the

questionnaire.

If you are owner of your accommodation and if you have bought it on a mortgage

or any other loan, please state your current monthly payment (capital plus

interest) but excluding any life insurance.

Notes on part 2: DWELLING RELATED REGULAR BILLS

This section concerns your main regular bills such as telephone, electricity, etc. We

will estimate the average annual amounts of these bills; therefore you are asked to

record the amount which you currently pay, preferably for the last 12 months or

on average monthly basis.

Regular bills should relate to your dwelling(s) in your country of residence.

If you own a dwelling for investment purposes in your country of residence (i.e.

if usually rented out), related costs should not be recorded in this survey.

If you own or rent a second home outside your country of residence, the related

expenditure is not taken into account in this survey.

Notes on part 3: DAILY EXPENSES OF THE HOUSEHOLD

In this section you are asked to record day by day during 2 weeks (including week

ends), your own expenditure as well as the expenditure of the other members of

your household on food and food-related items such as restaurants and canteens.

You have a separate row for each of the 14 consecutive days.

Please complete each day's expenditure at the end of the day by recording the total

expenditure in each relevant box.

The box “restaurants, cafes, bars, take-away” refers to the expenditure on food,

beverages, ice creams, etc. made in any of these places, or when delivered to your

home/office.

The purpose of the survey is to estimate average annual expenditure of households

in your country of residence. For this reason,

If you are absent from your country of residence during the 2-week period, the

remaining members of your household should continue to record any expenditure in

your country of residence. Any private expenditure in an other country should not

be recorded.

Notes on part 4: YEARLY OR AVERAGE MONTHLY EXPENSES

The consumption pattern will be calculated on the basis of annual expenditure.

Therefore, in this section you are requested to record the expenditure of the

household in your country of residence preferably the total amount for the last

12 months. However, in case of small or frequent expenditures (e.g. newspapers,

flowers, cinema ticket), if you find it easier, you may note your usual expenses for

an average month of that period.

Cars

We are looking for the net expenditure on vehicles. Thus, if you have purchased cars

(new or second-hand) during the last 5 years:

record in box 24a the actual price you paid for all cars during that period

(exclude loan interests if you bought any vehicle on credit), and

record in box 24b the sale price of the car(s) you sold during the same period.

Holidays

Record only the expenditure actually made in your country of residence. For

example, air tickets purchased in your country of residence should be recorded in

box 20 (planes) and a package holiday purchased at travel agencies within your

country of residence should be recorded in full in box 68 (package holidays). But a

hotel bill paid in a foreign country should not be recorded in this survey.

Purchases via Internet All purchases made via Internet are considered as expenses made in your country of

residence, provided the purchased good is delivered to your country of residence.

If you cannot find an item of your expenditure in one of the boxes provided,

please consult the glossary or mark it in the part 6.
