Scoping Report: Stage 3 Objectives

• Check the Quality of emissions reporting– Check application of Good Practice

• Improve the Quality of emissions– Identify good practice– Capacity Building (involvement in review)

• Establish a common approach for Review (Harmonisation)– Consistency with UNFCCC – Applicability for NEC

Scoping Report: Scope & Frequency

• Priority Pollutants – CO, NOx, NMVOC, NH3, and SO2; Cd, Hg, Pb; Particulate matter (PM2.5 and

PM10); dioxins and furans, the PAH compounds and HCB

• Annual centralised reviews (Like UNFCCC)– National Sectoral (Historic Timeseries)– Activity Data– IIR– 10-15 Parties per year (2-3 Central Reviews)

− Rolling Programme

− Or Parties chosen by the Implementation Committee

• 5-yearly review – gridded data, – projections – large point source data

• Focus on Key Sources– Quality (TCCCA)– identification of missing sources

Scoping Report: Timing of Review (Options)

• September + 0 year.. ?– Competes with UNFCCC reviews – A Rush to include feedback.. – Findings available for Inventory update.. Just..

• June…..• January + 1 year.. ?

– Build on UNFCCC Review – Reviewing an “Old” Inventory – Time to incorporate recommendations in next

inventory – Competes with inventory submissions

– Part 2: Specific Recommendations (Quality & Sectoral)

• Stage 3 Overview Report– The EMEP emission centre , EEA

Scoping Report: Timetable

Scoping Report: Resource Estimates

• EMEP emission centre • technical secretariat support 2 person-months (5 Countries/yr only) and would

include:– Stage 1&2 tests draft reports & communications;– Preparing for Stage 3 organisation & data;– Managing the review weeks;– Finalising the review reports &communication with the Parties.

• Timing – Sep, Jan or other?

• Responsibilities– Emissions Data Centre, Parties, EMEP

• Choosing and Using National Experts– Roster of Experts?– Selection of teams?

• Distribution of Review Reports– Who, what and when?
