Progress to greenhouse gas emission targets (CSI 011) - Assessment published Feb 2008: Projections for 2010 indicate that the EU-15 will meet its Kyoto target if Member States implement existing and additional measures fully and quickly, and make use of carbon sinks and Kyoto mechanisms. If all the projected reductions were achieved, the EU-15 could reach a level of emissions 11.4 % lower than base-year emissions, therefore overachieving its -8 % Kyoto target by 3.4 percentage points. The EU-27 does not have a Kyoto target. Twelve EU-15 Member States project they will achieve their individual targets. All ten new Member States with a target expect to meet their target (Cyprus and Malta do not have a Kyoto target). Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland project that they will meet their targets. Turkey has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol and thus has no Kyoto target.

Comparison of 2005 EU-15 emissions with hypothetical target paths towards the EU-15 Kyoto target: The Kyoto mechanisms are projected to account for 2.5 % of the EUtarget of an 8 % reduction, and the carbon sink activities are projected to contribute to an additional 0.9 %

Greenhouse gas emission targets of all EU-27 Member States, EU candidate and other EEA member countries for 2008-2012 relative to base-year emissions: Base-year emissions are determined in Initial reports, submitted in 2006 and undergoing UNFCCC review in 2007

Absolute gaps (over-delivery or shortfall) between greenhouse gas projections and 2010 targets for new Member States: For Estonia, Hungary and Latvia the projections used in last year&amp;#39;s report are used as no new data were available

Distance-to-target-path indicator for EU candidate countries and other EEA member countries in 2005: The distance-to-target-path indicator (DTPI) measures the deviation of actual emissions in 2005 from a (hypothetical) linear target path between 1990 and 2010

Distance-to-target-path for EU-15 Member States in 2005: The distance-to-target-path indicator (DTPI) measures the deviation in percentage points of actual emissions in 2005 from a (hypothetical) linear path between base-year emissions and the burden-sharing target for 2010

Past and projected EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions compared with Kyoto target for 2008-2012: The EU15 target including Kyoto mechanisms and sinks is based on an estimated projected use of Kyoto mechanisms and activities under Article 3.3 and 3.4 (carbon sinks)
