AC specific national circumstances Different technologies Different operational/maintenance practices Specific fuels and input materials Different sectorial contribution in total emissions National circumstances of the EIT/AC could be only partially generalized EMEP/CORINAIR guidebook only to a limited extend addresses those specific national circumstances

*AC with measurement based EF Ratio of national dioxin emission submissions to the TNO/UBA estimates for 1990 *AC with measurement based EF

Importance of different activity patterns Dioxin Emissions = Activity x Emission Factor Accession Countries: 10 times more coal per capita in residential sector than EU Uncertain Emission Factors Dioxin emission factors for coal combustion in residential sector

NOx emission factor used in AC Combustion in energy and trans. industries Non-industrial combustion plants Combustion in manufacturing industry Road transport X axis: 1 - exclusively non-national Y axis: number of countries 2 - predominantly non-national 3 - predominantly national 4 - exclusively national

AC priorities for AEI improvement responses of the national experts to the JRC questionnaire uncertainty analysis

The way forward International: EIT/AC experts to be more involved in drafting and review of the new/ up-dated Guidebook chapters and to actively participate in population of the proposed EF database Regional: ad hoc cooperation and exchange of information National: strengthen the links among AEI and emission monitoring/scientific community
