Additional information

A positive value suggests an under-achievement and a negative value an over-achievement by 2004. The DTI is used as an early indication of progress towards the Kyoto and Member States'' burden-sharing targets. The use of Kyoto mechanisms and carbon sinks was included where data was available.
