2. Background Available from list of CIS guidance documents Provides
scoping ,
overview of methodologies and
fact sheets examples

3. Principal components of inventory
Source. CIS Guidance doc. No. 28, 2012

4. (some) Current data and information sources
Existing national inventories
E-PRTR
point
E-PRTR diffuse
Eurostat
Water statistics
Large EU projects
WFD
RBMPs
JRC
FATE model
SoE Emissions
WFD – EQS
European database on national PS/PHS inventories on discharges and losses
Tech.-Sci. literature
International Sea conventions
LCIA proxy scenarios

5. SoE Emissions reporting scheme and data model
Data Dictionary
available from Reportnet
Spatial units are RBD or SU
E-PRTR data can be imported via coding
Reporting scheme same structure as CIS Guidance doc 28 – and E-PRTR diffuse sources project

6. Example of visualising emission data
Source: EEA technical report no. 8, 2011)

7. Example of source apportionment for Cd emissions to coastal & transitional (TC) and inland waters from point sources based on SoE Emissions data (2010)
DO – direct to TC water
I – industrial sources
U – municipal (urban) sources
O - other sources

8. Example of trend of Ni emissions to inland water from point sources based on SoE Emissions data (2010)
I – industrial sources
U – municipal (urban) sources

9. Both relative and absolute decouplings are seen
Example of Water Resource Efficiency Indicator (WREI) - emission intensity compared to Gross Value Added (GVA)
Both relative and absolute decouplings are seen
Draft in Eionet consultation

10. Example of Water Resource Efficiency Indicator (WREI) - emission intensity; heavy metals weighted by 1/EQS - absolut values and changes
Big changes from a high level
Small changes from a low level

11. Discussion issues – work ahead:
(Rely on E-PRTR, only ??)
point sources (lower reporting thesholds ?)
diffuse sources (expand EU-level modelling ?)
Rely E-PRTR and more data sources / pathways ?
Increase sector-wise reporting to Eurostat ?
Increase data coverage in SoE Emissions ?
Include more inland riverine loads (flux stations) !
Liase with LCA-community(ies) on proxy scenarios ?
Others ?
Go straight to distributed / decentralised reporting in WISE & IPCheM ?
Develop harmonised formats for national inventories ?
Develop harmonised estimation methods ?
Data sharing by interoperaable services, e.g. Web Feature Services (WFS) ?
How to organise ?
Volunteers for Drafting Group on reporting format, joint with WG DIS?
Involve WISE TG ?
