  1. An Update on Activities Under the Convention SB Meeting Sept 2010 EB Meeting Dec 2010WGSR Meeting April 2011 Chris Dore

  2. EMEP SB: Future Work 1 • Annual TFEIP Meeting in Stockholm, May 2011. Workshop on emissions gridding and mapping in 2011. • Support to the technical aspects of the revision of the Gothenburg Protocol. • Work closely with other TF’s/groups. In particular: • TFRN on NH3 emissions; • Future BC work, as resources allow. • Where possible, work to support countries that are not providing submissions of sufficient quality.

  3. EMEP SB: Future Work 2 • Capture relevant new data on emissions from wood combustion. • Continue to explore new ways of delivering improvements and increased support/participation. • Improve communications and oureach • Reworked TFEIP Website (discussion forum, outreach, self-management etc.) • Newsletter etc.

  4. LRTAP EB: Relevant Decisions 1 • Adoption of Guidebook MIP • Invited nomination of Expert Reviewers • Invited Parties to help with the improvement of metal emission inventories • Welcomed the report by TFHTAP • Recommendation that BC be included in the Gothenburg Protocol • Revision to the TFHTAPs mandate

  5. LRTAP EB: Relevant Decisions 2 • Several decisions relating to WGSR’s work: • Revision to the Gothenburg Protocol to continue (aim to complete the work by the end of 2011) • POPs Protocol- investigation into five new substances (recommendations timetabled for 2012)

  6. WGSR Meeting (April 2011) • The TFEIP were asked to comment on the Draft Gothenburg Protocol text, and in particular the implications on reporting (data and IIRs) • A short report was drafted, and send to WGSR prior to their meeting.

  7. Implications for TFEIP Workplan • There is a need to make further contributions to Flexibility Mechanism discussions at WGSR meetings • Discussion on Flexibility Mechanisms is in our Agenda. • We need to contribute to the discussion on including BC in the Gothenburg Protocol • An evaluation of the information available on estimating BC emissions is needed (liaison with TFHTAP). • Improve emission estimates from sources involving wood combustion. • As well as the usual “core” topics, which include: • Supporting improvement in Eastern European countries, Improving HMs, providing a forum for discussion etc.
