Horizon for emission projections in NEC Directive is 2010. No EU-legal basis for Member States to submit emission projections with a horizon beyond 2010. NECD Projections
EB-decision 2008/16 Approves the decision by the EMEP Steering Body at its thirty-second session that, in addition to the (annual update of the) emission projections for 2010, 2015 and 2020 as specified in decision 2005/1, Parties within the geographical scope of EMEP shall also report their data on emission projections for 2030 and longer-term projections if available (for example, 2050), in view of the analysis of the links between air pollution and climate change GP/HM/POP Projections

Process of consultation • 31 March 2009: meeting of MS energy economists to discuss major assumptions of new energy baseline • 25 April 2009: comments invited from MS experts on the major assumptions for their country • May-June 2009: • draft results (in terms of energy use) per MS available • Consultation with MS on country results • Finalization/publication results • (2007baseline://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/figures/trends_2030_update_2007/energy_transport_trends_2030_update_2007_en.pdf) • July 2009 and beyond • Use of results for policy analysis
Contents of consultation so far • Macroeconomic assumptions per country • GDP growth rates (lower than for 2007 baseline) • Population (higher than for 2007 baseline) • Valued added for 22 sectors (10 energy-intensive sectors) • (World) energy prices up to 2030 • Overview of major energy investments per MS (questionnaire): CCS, hydro, other RES, nuclear and infrastructure.
Procedure • Consultation: input coordinated with MS and to be send to DGTREN (Mrs Livia Vasakova) • Ask Ger Klaassen (DGENV, C5): gerardus.klaassen@ec.europa.eu for list of energy economic experts for your MS to contact (in as far as not done already)
