Annex VII: References

During 32^th EMEP Steering Body session some minor changes to the reporting templates were agreed. Revised templates are to be used for the reporting of NEC Directive data and LRTAP data. The latest changes are specifically due to a) the need to reflect the future anticipated changes for reporting of POPs as an outcome of the revision of the CLRTAP POPs protocol and b) correction of various small errors and inconsistencies in the previous templates.

The revisions of Annex IV from 15 October 2009 are as follows:

Annex IV, Table 1

• International inlandshipping copied to memo items as a follow-up of the EB meeting.
• “Fugitive emissions from geothermal energy production, peat and other energy extraction” has been moved from 1B2avi to a new source category 1B3 as proposed by the TF expert panel
• 1 A 5 a B_IndustrialComb replaced with C_SmallComb as proposed by the TF expert panel
• Footnote h) was modified as proposed by the EEA
• Row with SNAP totals was deleted as proposed by the TF expert panel
• Correction of the order of categories as proposed by Austria

Annex IV, Tables 1, 2B and 2C

Several of the POPs have been removed from the annex of the POPs protocol and thus do not need to be reported in 2010. The POPs which are in the templates and need to be reported are:

• PAHs (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). There are 4 as previously- benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrene
• PCDD/F (Dioxins/Furans)
• HCB (Hexachlorobenzene)

the following two POPs are included as voluntary reporting:
• PCB’s (Polychlorinated biphenyls)
• HCH (Hexachlorocyclohexane)

Annex IV, Tables 1, 3A and 3B

• GNFR for Cruise and LTO (follow up of changes in the reporting requirements)

Annex IV, Extensions

• Sheet deleted as proposed by the TF expert panel

Annex IV, Additional Information

• Renumbering of tables as proposed by the TF expert panel

The revisons of Annex IV from 4 December 2008 are as follows:

Annex IV, Table 1

• Changes to annotation (i): More detailed information on fuel sold and fuel used.

Annex IV, Table 2A

• The NFR code and the longname are now in two separate columns, the NFR code in column A and the longname in column B.

Annex IV, Table 4A-C

• We included a more detailed description of the flat-file format and added examples for 4A, 4B and 4C.

The revisons of Annex IV from 27 November 2008 are as follows:

Annex IV, Table 1

• 1 A 3 d i (ii) International inland waterways moved from z_memo to the row 45 and should be included in national total emissions.
• GNFR H_NationalShips was renamed to H_Shipping  (Annex IV Table1,  Tables 3A and 3B).
