Why EPER?

• Rio Declaration in 1992 gave impetus to the idea
  of setting up emission inventories as a tool for
  providing information on pollutants to the
  public.
• Idea became concrete in 1996 EU Directive on
  Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control
  (IPPC).
• In 2000 the details of the inventory given in a
  Commission Decision on the establishment of a
  European Pollutant Emission Register (EPER).
• Data covering 2001 published in 2004 2004
  data reported in 2006.

8
What information can I find in EPER?

• EPER contains data on the main pollutant
  emissions to air and water reported by 11,000
  large and medium-sized industrial facilities in
  the 25 EU Member States (2004!) and Norway
• 50 pollutants are covered
• All reported emissions data are publicly
  accessible through the website eper.ec.europa.eu,
  hosted by the European Environment Agency in
  Copenhagen
• website also provides descriptions of each of the
  substances, their uses, major emission sources
  and their impacts on human health and the
  environment

11
Comparing reports 2001 / 2004

• 2004 reporting seems to be more complete as
  compared to 2001
• Problems in identification of the individual
  facilities
• Obligatory ID fields filled quite well
• Less information in the voluntary ID fields

12
Who benefits from EPER?

• Citizens can find out about emissions from
  industrial facilities in their neighbourhood and
  compare them with other facilities
• This empowers people to ask serious questions,
  and engage in discussions, about reducing these
  emissions
• Companies can look at the pollution records of
  their competitors, increase their own efforts to
  excel in environmental terms and then demonstrate
  this to the public.
• EPER aims to provide scientists, local
  authorities and policy makers with a consistent,
  Europe-wide emissions database

13
Which industrial facilities are included in EPER?

• EPER covers large and medium-sized industrial
  plants
• which are listed in Annex I of the IPPC Directive
  (identical with Annex A3 of the EPER Decision)
• and which exceed specified emission thresholds
• the threshold values have been fixed at a level
  that aims to cover about 90 of the emissions
  from facilities covered by IPPC (to limit the
  administrative burden on industry)
• EPER holds emissions data on 11,000 installations

15
What share of total EU15 emissions does EPER
cover?

• provides data for large and medium-sized point
  sources in the industrial sectors covered by the
  IPPC Directive
• The share of emissions from all sources covered
  by EPER varies for each Member State, industrial
  activity and pollutant
• For some air pollutants the EPER share can be
  assessed, whereas for direct and indirect
  emissions to water it is more difficult due to a
  lack of pan-European data sets gtgtgt

16
Comparison with the EU15s total emissions (2001
reporting)

• 42 carbon dioxide (CO2)
• 15 methane (CH4)
• 13 dinitrogenoxide (N2O)
• 6 non-methane volatile organic carbon (NMVOC)
• 26 nitrogen oxides (NOx) and
• 70 sulphur oxides (SOx) emissions

n.b. EPER covers mainly industrial sources.
excluded transport sector, most agricultural
sources(but underlying totals include these
emissions!)
17
How has the quality of EPER data been checked?

• quality of the data has been checked at local,
  regional and national level before the data were
  included in EPER
• responsibility of States to check the accuracy of
  their emissions data before submitting them to
  EPER
• In addition, Member States, the Commission and
  the EEA have checked that the data submitted
  comply with the agreed reporting format outlined
  in the EPER decisions and EPER guidance document

18
Is any information kept confidential?

• According to the EPER Guidance Document all EPER
  data are non-confidential
• Nevertheless, under existing EU legislation the
  protection of personal data has to be ensured
• Therefore, where an EPER facility is operated by
  a private person (and not a company), the
  emissions are included but the persons name and
  address may be kept confidential

From EPER to E-PRTR

• EU signed the UN-ECE Protocol on Pollutant
  Release and Transfer Registers (PRTR) under the
  Aarhus Convention in 2003, and ratified on 3
  March 2006
• EPER was upgraded to a fully comprehensive
  European PRTR "E-PRTR" that includes data on
  waste transfers
• Commission published the regulation 166/2006 on
  the European PRTR
• First reporting year for the PRTR 2007
