  4. Maintainwhatiswellfunctionningwith a more clear distinction betweenscientificwork (TF, ICPs and centers) and more policy-orientedwork by EB and subsidiary bodies

  5. Note for clarification:TF Effects will invite to its meetings the representatives of what are currently known as ICPs – the name could remain; the ICP meetings would then be ‘unoffical’ and would deliver what TF Effects wanted which in turn would be what EMEP Science and what EB want. The chairs of the TF, EMEP and EB would be responsible for the delivery.

  6. An amended Gothenburg protocol  what’s new ? • Emission reduction commitments – relative ceilings. • PM 2,5 • BC to be considered as a fraction of PM 2,5 • Updated/new Technical Annexes –possible to update • no new annex IX – but a possibility to revise in the near future • Flexibility for new parties - CET • Adjustments • Paved the way for new parties to the protocol

  7. Adjustments To emission reduction commitments or inventories forcompliance purposes • Under extraodinary circumstances • new emission source category • significant change in emission factors • significant changes to the methodology for determining emissions from a specific source category. • Request to EMEP to develop provisional guidance for consideration by the EB 31 – dec 2012

  8. Within the EU • 27 countries….with 27 views • Bad timing – economic crisis • 1st priority – more parties on board • The effect based approach got lost…. • …the cost effectiveness got lost… • …and so did the modelled scenarios. • ... a small step in the right direction • 2013 Year of the Air. New NECD, AQ directive, Thematic Strategy

  9. What’s next ? • Development of guidance for adjustments (EMEP) • Development of mitigation options and methods for emission inventories of BC (TFEIP, HTAP, TFIAM, EGTEI) • Revision of the HM protocol – dec 2012 ? • Reorganisation of the Convention
