4. Projected shortfall in emission abatement to meet emission ceilings in 2010 (% of ceiling)
SO2
NOx J L J L
VOC
NH3

5. Conclusions
First reporting not timely, scattered and with varying level of detail
With measures projections indicate that only two MS reach NEC ceilings for all pollutants
The ceilings for NOx and NH3 are most problematic
Few MS report envisaged additional measures
Key socio-economic assumptions and uncertainties are seldom addressed and discussed
Effects of reported PAMs are generally not quantified and interaction with other policies (e.g. CC policies) are often not addressed

7. Comparability:- How do emission Factors compare?

8. Recalculation:- % Change between 2001 and 2002 inventories
EU15

New MS

9. Completeness:- % of data values or notations
100%
50%
25% 0%

10. Conclusions: Benefits of Review
Understand the limitations
Where are the gaps… Are they important?
Improve quality of the data we use
Identify problems & focus improvement
Administrative e.g. Reporting
Scientific e.g. Consistency, Comparability
Research
Data Gathering
Guidelines
Improve the quality of, and confidence in emission inventory based decisions

11. Draft recommendations
National Programmes
There is a need to clarify the level of detail on reporting requirements and formats for projections as well PAMs.
Any type of guidance for projections and PAMs should be consistent with the implementing provisions of EU GHG Monitoring Mechanism
Review process
There is a need to develop a formal framework for strengthening review of emission inventories and projections under CAFE
