  1. Priority EIONET data flows and EEA reference centre Manfred Ritter 10 May 2001

  2. Outline of the presentation • EIONET basics • Actual flow and European products • Challenges and recommendations

  3. Basics, EIONET - dream or reality? • Council Regulation 1210/90 (933/99) • establishes EEA and EIONET • defines aims and structure • Information • to support/change policy making • on a European level • in a European approach • The European approach - EIONET • define National / European work balance • exchange of information (networking) • transparent • avoid duplication and add value 1

  4. Basics (2) • Players (layers) • National Reference Centres (NRC) • regular collectors and suppliers of data • National Focal Points (NFP) • national co-ordination • European Topic Centres (ETC) • consortia assisting EEA on certain topics • ETC/ACC database • European Environment Reference Centre (E2RC) • European data access 2

  5. Basics (3) - E2RC 3

  6. Basics (4) - EIONET and E2RC 4

  7. Basics (5) • Telematics network • EEA web page and reference centre • www.eionet.eu.int • The national servers • password protected link to EIONET • Circle software • interest groups 5

  8. Basics (6) - example http://eea.eionet.eu.int:8980/Members/irc/eionet-circle/nfp-eionet/home 6

  9. EIONET - actual flow • Products for Europe • CC products • Inventory and trend assessment • legal framework: UNFCCC, Monitoring Mechanism • data: CRF from countries • AP products • Inventory and trend assessment • legal framework: CLRTAP, NEC, LCP, EPER • data: NFR from countries • Integrated products • integrated ETC database (CC + AP) • Indicator based reports • E2RC 7

  10. Actual flow (2) • Priority flows for European products • focus on regular reporting system for AP + CC • avoid duplication • consolidate existing flows • base all European products on MS submission • copy from national EIONET server or e-mail • use for convention (LRTAP, FCCC), and also for EEA and other (EUROSTAT) indicator-based reports • scientific data - inventory (submission) - indicator • enhance quality • validate within EIONET (NFP, NRC) • ensure transparency from national to European data 8

  11. Actual flow (3) - CC (red) and AP (blue) for EU15 9

  12. Actual flow (4) • Why is CC so successful? • Well defined European and international system • Monitoring Mechanism as legal basis • well-balanced involvement of • Scientists: IPCC • Countries inventory experts: NRCs • Policy makers: EU (MM Committe) and FCCC (COP/SBSTA) • defined National / European work balance • WG1 and WG2 guidelines • EEA-ETC/ACC responsible for EU inventory • more involvement of stakeholders (industry) needed to enhance broad acceptance of one common data system 11

  13. EIONET - challenges • European CC reports • maintain/improve timeliness and completeness • deadline 31 December 2001 • CRF and F-gases • consistency of primary data (fuel statistics) • adapt to new requirements • Inventory Report • National System for Art. 5.1 of the Kyoto Protocol • Good Inventory practice (QA/QC) • possible changes of CRF and Kyoto Protocol 12

  14. Challenges (2) • European AP reports • set-up/improve timeliness and completeness • European totals, by sectors, for non-GHG needed • new pollutants: HM, POPs • adapt to new requirements • PM10 • new format, consistent with CRF • point sources: bottom up consistency, link to EPER/LCP, link to PRTR/Aarhus • gridding: link to urban inventories • IAM: additional data needs • new targets (Gothenburg Protocol, proposed NEC) 13

  15. Challenges (3) • Integrated ETC database, reports and services (E2RC) • adapt to changing policy needs • improve policy-change effectiveness • indicators • link with international development • improved intra- and inter-national co-ordination • involve NRC more in preparation 14

  16. EIONET improvements, recommendations (1) • National Inventory System • enhanced cooperation • National Institutes and stakeholders • Statistical, agriculture, ... industry • profide copies to ETC/ACC • posting on the national EIONET server or e-mail • FCCC, CLRTAP and EU (LCP/EPER/NEC) data • in the corresponding format (CRF, NFR,...) • adapt to new requirements • NFR, Kyoto Protocol, EPER, proposed NEC • liase with NFPs and other organisations on indicator discussion/development 15

  17. EIONET improvements, recommendations (2) • European Inventory System • consolidate existing data flow on European level • use CC as a model for AP • learn from national experience • adapt to new requirements at European level • adjust Country / European work balance • cooperate with EUROSTAT, JRC, CLRTAP/EMEP • improve data exchange at European level • aim at involvment of sectoral stakeholders • (industry) to enhance broad acceptance • ensure that (newly) reported data is used • policy relevant indicators • further involve NRCs in preparation of EEA/ETC indicator based reports through NFP 15

  18. EIONET improvements, recommendations (3) • Support to intern. reporting development • Commission • negotiations on new KP inventory requirements • participation in IPCC workshops • implementation through the Monitoring Mechanism working groups • implementation of LCP and EPER, • development of NEC reporting guidelines, • emission data in CAFE • UNECE • Guidebook and ensure harmonisation with NEC • development of NFR • development of common software tools 15
