EIONET Reporting and EEA Priority Dataflows Keimpe Wieringa EEA European Topic Centre on Air and Climate Change 31 October 2006 7th Joint TFEIP & EIONET meeting Thessaloniki (Greece)
EIONET Priority Data Flows 2005-06: Overall Performance • 12 priority data flows, a.o. soil, water, emissions and air quality • Criteria: completeness and timeliness
Priority Dataflows Air and Climate Objectives: • Improving coverage and completeness • Improving quality • Assessments • Timeliness (will not be addressed) • Compliance (will not be addressed)
What are the EIONET PDFs? • GHG emission inventories • LRTAP and NEC emission inventory • Air Quality monitoring (will not be addressed) General remark: difference in EIONET data flows between EU-25 (also compliance) and non-EU25 EEA countries
Completeness GHG emissions • Submissions countries: excellent • Many resubmissions due to UNFCCC review process • Countries missing 2004: Malta, Cyprus, Bulgaria (UNFCCC), Iceland (UNFCCC), Liechtenstein (UNFCCC), Croatia, Turkey (UNFCCC) • Countries missing years/CRF tables: Luxembourg, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia
Completeness LRTAP and NEC emissions • Submissions countries: good • All countries deliver in NFR format (level 2) • Countries missing: Luxembourg, Lithuania, Romania, Liechtenstein, Turkey • Countries missing gases: Portugal, Malta,Croatia. Iceland, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia note 1) EIONET PDF is subset of LRTAP reporting obligations note 2) NEC data flow is (more or less) subset of LRTAP
QA/QC Priority Dataflows • Legal basis • QA/QC programme in place • Goal: improving EIONET PDFs provides information for assessment, but also supports countries compliance with EU and Convention obligations • Various checks: a.o. timeliness, completeness, consistency • Application formats: built-in checks for improving quality, but also speeds up annual cycle • Collaboration with countries: excellent feedback
Perspective 2007-08 • Go4: EC, JRC, Eurostat and EEA • Towards a Shared European Information System (SEIS) • EEA: 2 data centres on air and climate change • Aim: improving data reporting, quality control, storage and dissemination • Policy challenge: further streamlining and harmonising emission reporting (GHG, NEC, LRTAP, EPER, E-PRTR)
Current progress EEA and ETC/ACC • 1st Trial review meeting CLRTAP/NEC emissions data (Copenhagen) • EU GHG emission inventory to UNFCCC • EU LRTAP emission inventory 1990-2004 • EEA report on Air pollution at street level in European cities (2005) • EEA report on ancillary benefits of climate policies for air pollution (2006) • EEA report on GHG trends and projections
Prospects EEA and ETC/ACC • New ETC/ACC contract (2007-10) • Belgrade report (2007) • Report Air pollution in Europe (2007) Thank you for your collaboration and feedback!
