3. Review process – T TCCCA • Methods and procedures for the technical review of air pollutant emission inventories reported under the Convention and its protocols (Review GuidelinesEB.AIR/GE.1/2007/16) • Stage 1 - automated tests, Country reports posted on the web during March • Stage 2 - S&A country reports posted in Mayhttp://www.ceip.at/review-results/review-results-2012/ • Stage 3 – Centralised in depthreviewofselectedinventories • Summary of S1 and S2 findings: In CEIP/EEA technical report Inventory review 2011 http://webdab1.umweltbundesamt.at/download/Reports/2011/InventoryReport2011_forWeb.pdf

4. Short HistOry of emission rEporting to UNECE • 80s - National emissions of sulphur, nitrogenoxides, ammonia, NMVOC, carbonoxides and methane(1980 or 1986? onwards and eachfollowingyear) • EMEPWebDab – earliest information identified “reported in 1995” http://www.ceip.at/webdab-emission-database/ • HMs, POPs – first occur in 1996 data (reported in 1998) • SNAP sectors • Harmonisation with UNFCCC reporting system, 2002 onwards – emissions reported in NFR sectors (NFR01, NFR02, NFR09), GHGs excluded http://www.emep.int/mscw/index_mscw.html e.g. Emission datareportedto UNECE/EMEP: Evaluation ofthespatialdistributionofemissions.

5. Reporting of inventories under the CLRTAP in 2012 http://www.ceip.at/overview-of-submissions-under-clrtap/2012-submissions/ 44 (86%) submissions from 51 Parties (41 in 2010, 43 in 2010), 34 Parties within deadline - 31 resubmissions 30 IIRs (26 in 2011, 30 in 2010, ) 35 Parties reported AD – significant improvement comparing to 2009 No data from: Rep. of Moldova, USA, EU Azerbaijan, Bi&H, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan

6. reporting 1995 - 2012 • Reporting • Austria • Belgium • Denmark • Finland • Slovakia • United Kingdom • Completeness in WebDab • France • Germany • Ireland • Norway • Sweden • United Kingdom

7. repOrting under uNECE • TOP10 Reporting since 1995 • Austria • Belgium • Bulgaria • Czech republic • Denmark • Finland • France • Slovakia • Sweden • United Kingdom • TOP10 Completeness in WebDab (nat. totals) • Bulgaria • Croatia • Estonia • France • Germany • Hungary • Ireland • Norway • Sweden • United Kingdom

8. History of emission reporting under CLRTAP since 2002 (NFR) Inventories

9. Completeness 2012 Reporting under CLRTAP • Pollutants • Main pollutants: 44 (41) • PM: 36 (34) • POPs (Diox, PAHs, HCB, PCBs): 36 • Cd, Hg, Pb: 37 (39) • Additional HMs: 33 (33) • Projections: 21 (4 WaM) , Activity 18 (4 WaM) • Gridded data (sectoral + national totals): 26 • LPS: 24

11. Gridded data (20,22,21) (19,22,21) (19,21,19) (18,19,18)

12. LPS data reported in 2012 PM MAIN HM POPs

13. NECD Inventories

14. NECD Timeliness of reporting • Complete EU inventoryreportingfor 2009 and 2010!! • 9 MS submitted IIRs • 25 MS used NFR templates 2009 • 10 MS providedprojectionsfor post 2010

15. NECD Distance to ceilings • Final 2010 data will be available end of this year • grey indicates that road transport emissions are based on fuel used • red indicates emissions above respective NEC ceiling

16. NECD - Reporting of NE (not estimated) • NE carries risk of potential underestimation • EU NEC Directive status report estimates potential contribution of these sources • for only 2 countries it would effect the reaching of ceilings

17. Share of E-PRTR 2010 on CLRTAP / UNFCCC totals 2010 (Main, GHGs)

18. Share of E-PRTR 2010 on CLRTAP 2010 totals (HMs , POPs)

19. StAgE 3 review

20. Stage 3 in-depth centralized review • Main objectives • complement the reporting guidelines in supporting Parties to compile and submit high quality inventories • support Parties in meeting their reporting obligations under the Protocols • increase confidence of policymakers in the data used for air pollution modelling • The aim is to check in detail each Party inventory at least once every five years => to review approximately 10 Parties annually

21. Stage 3 in-depth centralized review • Centralized review is review of quantitative and qualitative information of selected inventories by pollutant, country or sector • Joint activity of EMEP/CEIP and EEA • The work plan is (annually) approved by the EMEP Executive Body • CEIP • Coordination of the whole process • Technical support of ERT • Communication with Parties • Publication of final reports • CEIP/TFEIP/EEA • Guidance for reviewers, transcripts and templates for review reports http://www.ceip.at/review-of-inventories/centralised-review-stage-3/

22. Stage 3 - Experience 2008-2011 Review benefits • 34 Parties reviewed since 2008 - in all inventories identified areas for improvement • Motivates experts to improve their own inventories and IIRs • For reviewers provides a level of training on priorities for enhancing TCCCA of inventories • Builds an enthusiastic network of motivated and informed experts • Interaction with Parties • Most Parties responded on time and comprehensive • A few Parties – NIR not provided, late responses, limited explanatory information after the review week • It’s challenge if Parties are reviewed and parallel providing reviewers to the ERT

23. Roster of emission experts - history • 20 Parties to the Convention (out of 51) have nominated experts to the roster: • Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, the European Community, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Macedonia, Norway, the Netherlands, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom • the nominated experts are suitably qualified to review all emission sectors as well as general inventory issues, such as good practice, uncertainties, and quality assessment and quality control (QA/QC) • the roster currently contains a total of 65 inventory experts (24 more comparing to 2008) from which 43 experts participated at least in one S3 review

24. Review teams 2012 • 2 teams • LR – Chris Dore (UK) and Ann Wagner (EU) • 27 experts invited • 16 accepted invitation (AUT, DE, EU, EE, FIN, FRA,GR, IRL, LAT, NL, SWE) • still needed : generalist, sectors: industry, agriculture, waste • Review experts (10-15d): • Preparatory work and follow up activities • Review the inventory and complete transcripts and relevant chapters • LR – coordination of the team, compilation of the reports, assistance to less experienced reviewers

25. Challenges • The limited number of review experts constitutes serious constraint to the successful conducting of the reviews • Active participation of experts from EECCA and South-East European countries in the review process should be increased • Not complete inventories resp. not provided NIRs limits the review • Interaction with Parties • Lead reviewers
