EIONET NRC change
• In 2009, EIONET NFPs reviewed the different EIONET NRC
groups and decided to merge the former NRC group on ‘air
emissions’ with the GHG emission part of the former NRC
climate change
New name: NRC air pollution and climate change mitigation

A. ETC/ACC renewal process
• The present ETC/ACC consortium’s framework
partnership agreement with EEA ends in 2010
(together with ETC/Water and ETC/LUSI)
• During 2009, operations of all ETCs were reviewed &
EEA’s future support needs defined
(to cover up until the end of present EEA strategy period –
2009-2013)
11th Joint EIONET/TFEIP meeting, 10-11 May 2010, Larnaca
European Environment Agency
ETC/ACC renewal process
Following the 2009 review, it was decided to split the current
ETC into two from 2010 onwards:
– Air pollution and climate mitigation
– Climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaption
• Open call for proposals/ tenders ran from Jan-April 2010
• Recommendations of the evaluation committee to the
Executive Director and EEA’s Management Board will occur
May/June 2010.
• Work of new ETCs starts 1 Jan 2011.

must be produced that describes the State and Outlook of
Europe’s Environment (SOER report)

Country/EIONET involvement – Part C
• Part C – draft country contributions received (thank you!)
Reviewed by both EEA and ETC/ACC and informal feedback
earlier provided back to countries
• Some generic issues were noted including:
– consistency of data with part B (eg use of 2010 or 2009
submissions),
– consistency of messages (eg attaining 2010 emission
ceilings, or not),
– style and lengths of contributions
• Still further opportunities for countries to update data if
wished
11th Joint EIONET/TFEIP meeting, 10-11 May 2010, Larnaca
European Environment Agency
Country/EIONET involvement – Part B
Part B – Air pollution thematic assessment
• Initial consultation on zero-order draft – November 2009
• Second consultation period is presently underway – 17 May
– comments on this updated draft from national experts
are welcomed
– invitations to review the Part B assessment were sent to
EIONET NFPs
– draft text is online at the SOER2010 website – EIONET

Air pollutant emission indicators
11th Joint EIONET/TFEIP meeting, 10-11 May 2010, Larnaca
European Environment Agency
Air emission indicators – EEA32
• Emissions of acidifying substances CSI-001
• Emissions of ozone precursors CSI-002
• Emissions of particulate matter CSI-003
ETC/ACC is performing a review of the factors used to
weight and aggregate emissions – working paper in 2010
• More detailed underpinning indicators available
– NOx, SO2, NMVOCs, NH3 (existing)
– HMs (Cd, Hg, Pb), POPs (PAHs) (new in Nov 2009)
– Projections/outlooks indicator (new 2010)
