The Monitoring Mechanism Regulation ((EC) No 525/2013) requires Member States to report national projections of anthropogenic GHG emissions. Every two years, each EU Member State shall report GHG projections in a ‘with existing measures’ scenario for the years 2020, 2025, 2030 and 2035, by gas (or group of gases) and by sector. National projections shall take into consideration any policies and measures adopted at Union level. The reported data are quality checked by the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Air Pollution and Climate Change Mitigation (ETC/ACM).

information.png Methodology:

Data reported by the EU Member States (MS) under the EU Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism Regulation (MMR) have been quality checked and adjusted if appropriate by the European Topic Centre for Air Pollution and Climate Change Mitigation (ETC/ACM).

Every two ears MS  shall report to the Commission national projections of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks, organised by gas or group of gases (HFCs and PFCs) and by sector. Those projections shall include quantitative estimates for a sequence of four future years ending with 0 or 5 immediately following the reporting year. National projections shall take into consideration any policies and measures adopted at Union level (Article 14 of MMR).

GHG projections data are presented per MS, year, scenario, category and gas. There are originally reported data and final (corrected or gap-filled when necessary) data. Two types of projections are presented: projections taking into account the (current) existing domestic policies and measures (WEM, with existing measures) and projections taking also into account additional (planned) domestic policies and measures (WAM, with additional measures).

Domestic policies and measures are those taking place within the national boundaries. Existing policies and measures are those for which one or more of the following applies: a) national legislation is in force; b) one or more voluntary agreements have been established; c) financial resources have been allocated; d) human resources have been mobilised; e) an official government decision has been made and there is a clear commitment to proceed with implementation. Additional (planned) policies and measures are options under discussion with a realistic chance of being adopted and implemented in time to influence the emissions during the commitment period.

The detailed methodology used for the quality assurance and quality control procedure for national and Union GHG projections is outlined in the report ‘Quality assurance and quality control procedure for national and Union GHG projections (2017)’  and can be downloaded from:  http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/mmr
