Figures used

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
Greenhouse gas emissions per GDP in the EU candidate countries and other EEA member countries The analysis of the change in greenhouse gas intensity was based on GDP data at constant prices (1995 level)
Share of combined heat and power in gross electricity production in 2004 The most recent available data are for 2004.In Cyprus and Malta there was no CHP generation in 2004.The share is defined as the proportion of CHP electricity production (from both private and public utilities) in total gross electricity production, including generation in pumped storage power stations

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 %

Annual emissions and five-year rolling average of EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions (1990-2005) The five-year rolling average for a year (Y) corresponds to the average emissions of the five-year period: (Y-4)(Y).
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
Share of number of installations and emissions by size of installation Zero: emitters with verified zero emissions; Mini: emitters below 0.5 kt CO2/yr; Small: emitters of 0.5 to 50 kt CO2/yr; Medium: emitters of 50 to 500 kt CO2/yr; Large: emitters over 500 kt CO2/yr

Trends and projections in Europe 2016
Trends and projections in Europe The EEA’s annual report on Trends and Projections in Europe updates the progress assessments of the EU and European countries towards their climate mitigation and energy targets. It also sets sights forward towards the EU’s 2020 and new 2030 targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy generation and improving energy efficiency. The assessments in the Trends and Projections in Europe report draw on the most recent data on EU and Member States’ progress to their climate and energy targets. These include: EU’s and Member States’ GHG inventory, Member States’ Effort Sharing datasets, Member States’s GHG projections, Proxyestimates of greenhouse gas emissions in the most recent year.
