Actual flow (2)

Priority flows for European products


focus on regular reporting system for AP + CC
avoid duplication


consolidate existing flows
base all European products on MS submission
 copy from national EIONET server or e-mail

use for convention (LRTAP, FCCC), and also for EEA
and other (EUROSTAT) indicator-based reports
 scientific data - inventory (submission) - indicator

enhance quality


validate within EIONET (NFP, NRC)
ensure transparency from national to European data


Why is CC so successful?

Well defined European and international system


Monitoring Mechanism as legal basis
well-balanced involvement of
 Scientists: IPCC
 Countries inventory experts: NRCs
 Policy makers: EU (MM Committe) and FCCC
(COP/SBSTA)

defined National / European work balance
 WG1 and WG2 guidelines
 EEA-ETC/ACC responsible for EU inventory
 more involvement of stakeholders (industry) needed
to enhance broad acceptance of one common data
system

EIONET - challenges

European CC reports

maintain/improve timeliness and completeness




deadline 31 December 2001
CRF and F-gases
consistency of primary data (fuel statistics)
adapt to new requirements




Inventory Report
National System for Art. 5.1 of the Kyoto Protocol
Good Inventory practice (QA/QC)
possible changes of CRF and Kyoto Protocol

Challenges (2)

European AP reports

set-up/improve timeliness and completeness



European totals, by sectors, for non-GHG needed
new pollutants: HM, POPs
adapt to new requirements






PM10
new format, consistent with CRF
point sources: bottom up consistency, link to
EPER/LCP, link to PRTR/Aarhus
gridding: link to urban inventories
IAM: additional data needs
new targets (Gothenburg Protocol, proposed NEC)
