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.


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

Comparing reports 2001 / 2004


1

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

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


3

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


5

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

>>>


6

Comparison with the EU15’s 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!)


7

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


8

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 person’s 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

From EPER to E-PRTR: what's new?

Expansion in all dimensions to match the PRTR Protocol and existing EU legislation:

Inclusion of releases to land and transfers of waste

More pollutants (+41) More industrial activities (+9) Diffuse sources (optional) More countries (EU25 + x) Annual reporting.

EPER/E-PRTR ... information already proved its value

will continue to be developed on pan-European scale

helps to identify, assess and mitigate environmental and health risks

is an important source of public information and awareness rising
