The following table sets out compensation of employees across the general government sector and general government revenue figures as reported on the Eurostat database in line with the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010).
| (€bn) | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compensation of employees, payable | 5.6 | 6.1 | 7.1 | 7.2 | 7.9 | 8.9 | 10.4 | 12.0 | 13.3 | 14.5 |
| General Government Revenue | 20.5 | 23.2 | 27.7 | 29.5 | 33.7 | 38.7 | 40.8 | 44.5 | 48.6 | 53.9 |
| (% General Government Revenue) | ||||||||||
| Compensation of employees, payable | 27% | 26% | 26% | 24% | 23% | 23% | 26% | 27% | 27% | 27% |
The Deputy may wish to note that net pay is a term applied to the Gross Exchequer Pay Bill minus the Pension Related Deduction. Both these figures are subsets of the 'Compensation of Employees' definition used within the European System of National Account reported in the table above which includes compensation for employees within the wider general government sector.
