Croatia joined the EU in mid-2013, therefore for the years 2010 to 2013 emissions and ceilings are not considered for this country. Greece and Malta did not report data in 2018, therefore the aggregated EU emissions are incomplete. The distance to ceilings was calculated based on unadjusted emissions. The aggregated EU emissions for mobile sources are calculated based on data on fuel sold for all Member States.

The distance to ceilings was calculated based on unadjusted emissions.

The NECD does not include 2010 ceilings for PM2.5. The EU's 2020 and 2030 reduction commitments are calculated relative to 2005 base year emissions.

For complying with the 2020 and 2030 reduction commitments, Member States can subtract NOx and NMVOC emissions from two main agricultural activities, manure management and agricultural soils. The magnitude of these emission sources is indicated by the top part of the NOx and NMVOC columns. Thus only the lower part of the NOx and NMVOC columns should be considered for comparing with the 2020 and 2030 reduction commitments.
