Article 13. Please indicate whether the statistics on household (or family) expenditure and income which, according to the report, are established in accordance with the Norwegian system of national accounts, can be used conjointly.

Article 14. Please indicate whether statistics of occupational injuries are representative of the country as a whole, and whether they cover all branches of economic activity. Please also indicate the name and type of source of these statistics, as requested under Article 5(a) of the Convention.
