• QA/QC for REPORTING of emission data in
  accordance with adopted Gudielines
• Format, completeness and consistency checks of
  non-gridded data
• Formate In accordance with Guidelines (EXCEL)
• Complete All most aggregated sectors are
  reported or possible to estimate from sub-sectors
  (not NE, C)
• Consistent All sub-sectors sums up to aggregated
  levels (IE0)

What does REPDAB require and how does it work?

• Web application enter file output to
  requested e-mail adresse
• Data files NFR EXCEL templates
• Notation key definitions in REPDAB
• NO, NA, IE 0 NE, C Not complete

Proposed REPDAB updates

• Develop further the gridded data tests to include
  consisency and coverage
• Remove Memo items bug the completeness test

CONCLUSIONS

• Timeliness, reporting in Guidelines format and
  consistency improved in 2003
• Completeness, consistency, accuracy and
  transparency should be further improved with
  assistance from REPDAB, inventory improvement
  programme and submissions of national inventory
  reports.
• Recommendations from the BOGs on See slide above
