  1. EPEREuropean Pollutant Emission Register

  2. EPER EPER is based on Art. 15(3) of IPPC-Directive (1996) ...and a Commission Decision (2000) on the implementation of EPER

  3. EPER • MS deliver their data of reporting year 2001 by Sept. 2003 • 8 000 industrial facilities (IPPC, Annex I) • 50 pollutants above certain thresholds • Emissions to air and water, Transfer off- site of pollutants in water • Internet launch on 23 Feb. 2004

  4. EPER Reporting years / report to Commission 2001 June(Sept) 2003 (15 states) 2004 June 2006 (25 states) 2007 ??? ( E-PRTR ?) 2008

  5. European PRTR (E-PRTR) … because of UN/ECE Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs) under the Aarhus Convention …. signed in Kiev, May 2003

  6. EPER E-PRTR • 50 pollutants 86 pollutants • 56 activities 64 activities + releases to land + off-site transfers (waste) + diffuse sources ??? • reporting every annual reporting three years + public participation

  7. EPER-Website All about EPER and its Guidance Doc. http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ ippc/eper/index.htm 23 Feb. 2004: http://eper.cec.eu.int

  8. EPER Guidance Document (1) PART I: General Explanation ... 7. Quality aspects • timeliness, completeness,uncertainty, comparability, consistency, transparency • Emission determination methodology Classes M, C, E

  9. EPER Guidance Document (2) • Class M (“measuring”) emission data are based on measurements usingstandardised or accepted methods; often additional calculations are needed to convert the results of the measurements into annual emission data

  10. EPER Guidance Document (3) • Class C (“calculate”) emission data are based on calculations usingnationally or internationally accepted estimation methods and emission factors, which are representative for the industrial sector

  11. EPER Guidance Document (4) • Class E (“estimate”) emission data are based on non-standardisedestimations derived from best assumptions or expert guesses

  12. EPER Guidance Document (5) • PART II Reporting Requirements … 8. Reference to available emission determination methods Atmospheric Emission Inventory Guidebook, IPCC Guidelines, EEA, US-EPA, UK, Australia, OECD, OSPARCOM, IPPC-BREF documents ...

  13. EPER Guidance Document (6) PART III Specifications Appendix 3 : Indicative list of measuring methods for air and water pollutants Appendix 4 : Indicative sector-specific sub-lists for air pollutants

  14. EPER Guidance needed ! 1. Air emissions from landfills (CH4, CO2) 2. Air emissions from agriculture (NH3, N2O) big pig and poultry farms 3. NMVOC from measured TOC data 4. PM10 from data of dust

  15. “EPER/PRTR-experts” “TFEIP/EIONET- experts” Communication process
