3. JQ 2000 evaluation
11/18 supplied; 3/18 no data for 1998; 7/38 put data on CIRCA
NACE breakdown - good starting exercise, mixed picture
on UNFCCC data: considerable differences to previous submission (±5%)
CO2 : +98% IT CH4 : -55%/1997 DK
- 21% FR N2O : +12%/1996 NL
- 22% PT %/1997 FR
on UNECE/CLRTAP data: 12/18 supplied; +++ AT, DE (1990+), ES, FR, NO, IS, IT, NL; no data FI, UK, SE; differences to previous submission (±5%):
NMVOC: +37% DK 1980/97 CO: - 40% BE 1990/95
+57% NL 1995/ ,4/+21% PT 1990/98
+53/-33% PT 1980/98 SO2, NOX and NH3 o.k.
- differences need to be explained
- NACE mixed picture as expected
- no systematic errors
- some of them fall into the uncertainty discussion other made use of the recalculation possibilities ...
- SE too busy with EU presidency preparation and performance
OECD has reservations --meeting is to agree upon this

4. ESTAT AQ & AE are EEA domains drop
JQ 2002 preparation
ESTAT AQ & AE are EEA domains drop
OECD Meeting in June
- differences need to be explained
- NACE mixed picture as expected
- no systematic errors
- some of them fall into the uncertainty discussion other made use of the recalculation possibilities ...
- SE too busy with EU presidency preparation and performance
OECD has reservations --meeting is to agree upon this

5. NOSE & PER NOSE is a tool to
link PER data to other (emissions) registers
facilitate effective use of PER data across EU countries
ensure good comparability with other data
(e.g. contribution of PER enterprises to branch-wise, national, European loading etc.)
For pollutant releases NOSE-P specifies characteristics processes with linkages to IPPC/Annex I, SNAP, IPCC categories and EWC
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For PER sites NACE is a common denominator and compatible to economic registers and statistical tools
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- waste generation processes still to be added to NOSE-P
NACE Nomenclature générale des Activités économiques dans les Communautés Européennes (statist. classification of economic activities in the EC)
- NACE for consumption-output-trade statistics

6. Project to harmonise Energy Statistics
Countries have been asked to
examine energy data (90, 95 98) supplied with CRF and JQs
establish a procedure ensuring consistency at national level
provide updated time series 90-99
in progress: DK, FI, GR, NL, SE and NO
to be done: AT, DE, BE and FR
- other countries have not volunteered most likely
Slide 5

7. Co-operation on CO2 estimates (1)
ensure consistency at European level
avoid duplication of effort
streamline reporting
Countries
- supply estimates and reports to UNFCCC/UNECE/EC via EEA
EEA-ETC/ACC
- compiles EU data sets for submission to EC and Conventions
Eurostat
- compiles annual energy statistics
- examines data supplied with CRF and JQs
- estimates CO2 emissions using energy balance data and the IPCC - RA
- other countries have not volunteered most likely
Slide 6

8. Co-operation on CO2 estimates (2)
- Gross energy consumption has increased in the EU
Slide 7

9. Co-operation on CO2 estimates (3)
- Gross energy consumption has increased in the EU

10. Environmental Accounting NAMEA (1)
Asset accounts
Forests
Sub-soil assets (oil and gas)
Land
Water
Emissions accounts
Air emissions and energy use
Water (use and pollution)
Waste
Other (PIOT, expenditures, taxes, land, etc.)
Material flows
Economy-wide material flow accounts and balances
PIOTs
Emissions accounts:
to ensure integrative consistency, a correspondence table linking NAMEA for Air Emissions to IPCC totals is being developed or
a linking table showing the difference between NAMEA totals and IPPC totals will be included in the standard set of tables
- PIOT=Physical Input-Output Tables
Slide 9

11. Environmental Accounting NAMEA(2)
Environmental economics
Environmental expenditure accounts
Environment industry
Environment taxes
Handbooks and manuals
SEEA revision with London Group
European handbooks (e.g. SERIEE, Forests, material flows, NAMEA)
Slide 10

12. Environmental Accounting NAMEA(3)
In the more mature areas frameworks and methods have been developed and their applicability demonstrated in practice. The focus is shifting from development and practical testing to regular provision of data and to supporting systematic implementation of these accounts in Member States.
- analyses on trade and pollution burden can be made from NAMEAs >>coop. with EMEP
Slide 11

13. NAMEA for Air Emissions
Environmental Accounting NAMEA(4)
NAMEA for Air Emissions
First publication in 1999: EU12+NO
Second compilation of Pilots studies available aims to
to summarise latest national pilot applications on NAMEA
to present a comparison between European countries
at showing how the NAMEA framework is relevant for analysing the
coupling between environmental pressure and economic activities at a
detailed level
Second publication expected in Summer 2001: EU15+NO+CZ
Slide 12

14. Wish the inventory society
to agree on a common nomenclature serving multi-
reporting purposes
to find a consensus between simplicity and completeness
at a reasonable level of uncertainty
