IED reporting by countries Considerations for the set-up of a framework to facilitate the reporting

Eva Goossens

Head of Industrial Pollution group

14 January 2014, Joint Workshop of the E-PRTR Expert Group and the Industrial Emissions Expert Group (IEEG)

1. European Environment Agency (EEA)

• EEA as an organisation • role in the E-PRTR dataflow management

2. Reporting (information to be provided by MS)

• point-source versus • generic

3. Consolidation of point-source IED information

4. Streamlining of reporting

Overview of the presentation

EEA (European Environment Agency) - Who are we? (1)

EEA is an independent agency of the European Union

Role:

to provide sound, independent information on the environment

be a major information source for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public

EEA (European Environment Agency) - Who are we? (2)

EEA is dependent upon strong networks to perform our work

33 EEA Member countries EU-28, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway,

Switzerland and Turkey

EEA cooperating countries 6 West Balkan countries: Albania, Bosnia

and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia as well as Kosovo under the UN Security Council Resolution 1244/99.

EEA’s role in E-PRTR reporting framework

1. Development of the reporting and publication framework • Support to DG ENV regarding the IT specifications regarding the

• CDR* reporting platform • Reporting tool • Data validation rules • E-PRTR website

2. Operational phase • MS data collection via CDR • Feedback to countries on submissions • Data compilation in the E-PRTR database • Data publication on

- the E-PRTR website (searchable) - EEA data service (download of full datasets)

• Provision of data to OECD and the PRTR.net (Access and KMZ files) • Informal data review: feedback to the reporters on potential data quality

improvements • Maintenance of the IT platforms (CDR, reporting and validation tools, E-PRTR website)

* CDR is the Central Data Repository within the Eionet Reportnet reporting platform

Considerations for the data reporting framework development:

1. understanding of the reporting requirements under the IED

2. consolidation of point-source reporting within the IED

3. options for streamlining with E-PRTR and potentially other datasets

4. possible actions at MS/EU level to ensure compliance with INSPIRE

Focus on the set-up of an efficient and effective reporting framework

IED information to be provided by MS - set-up of a framework to facilitate reporting

Point-source information: • information to be reported at the level of individual installations/plants/

emission sources (point-sources) covered by the IED (e.g. individual installations under module 2 and module 4 of Annex II of IED reporting decision, combustion plants)

• reporting through agreed data reporting schema(s) (e.g. XML format)

Generic implementation information: • information, which is not reported at the level of the individual point-

sources but e.g. at sectoral or national level, in particular the information on implementation as required by Annex I and module 1 of Annex II of the IED reporting decision.

• reporting through e.g. on-line web-forms

IED reporting framework should reflect differences in the type of information. • On-line webform versus • XML-based reporting and validation tool

IED – information to be provided by MS (1) – point-source versus generic information

Consolidation of point-source reporting within the IED (1) - What do we mean?

Point-source data which the Member States have to provide under IED are interrelated two main options for the implementation of the reporting

Separate dataflows: • information regarding each reporting obligation / building block is

reported separately • a link to the other relevant IED information is provided (e.g. the IED

identifier needs to be reported for all CPs, waste incineration plants and waste co-incineration plants)

Consolidated IED point-source reporting • all the required information related to point sources is (as far as

feasible) integrated into one IED reporting schema. • the relationships between the data are built into the reporting format

MODULE 4

Consolidation of point-source reporting within the IED (3) - Member States’ Benefits

single reporting tool across the different IED (point-source) reporting

requirements

decreasing the administrative burden

• only one data submission instead of a number of different submissions (e.g. Module 2, CP inventories; TNP CP inventories, etc.)

• a unique tool with a common interface and reporting guidelines

• no additional information requests regarding the link between data (e.g. between the list of IED installations, the combustion plants (CP) in the TNPs and the CPs plant-by-plant inventory

Consolidation of point-source reporting within the IED (4) - Activities required

Guidance • Further definition of the information to be reported under certain reporting

obligations (reporting formats) such as • Implementing Decision 2012/795/EU,

• Module 3: format for questions 7.1, 7.2 and 9 • Module 4: minimum requirements in relation to WI and SE

• Obligations not covered by Implementing Decision 2012/795/EU, such as • Art. 30.5 :derogations to ELVs for CPs • Art. 72.3: CP plant-by-plant inventories and associated information (e.g. on

derogation regimes)

Technical expert work • Development of a consolidated reporting format • Integration of INSPIRE requirements

IT work • Development of a single reporting and validation tool (XML/UML

technology) • Definition of a relational IED database

IED data has immediate relations with other reporting obligations:

• E-PRTR • EU ETS • Industrial accidents (Seveso) • Large point-sources (LPS) emissions under the Convention on Long-Range

Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) • Reporting on emissions to water under the Water Framework Directive

interrelated data potential exists to better interconnect the different reporting frameworks

Note: focus of todays discussions is to explore streamlining possibilities between IED and E-PRTR

Potential for streamlining with IED (1) – possible datasets

• Different approaches to streamline point-source reporting

• consolidation at database level

• integrated reporting

• streamlining of legislation

Potential for streamlining with IED (2) – Conceptual framework

• Linking of different datasets (databases) • Based on linking of common unique identifiers (IDs) which are reported in the

different datasets (e.g. the E-PRTR National ID which is reported under E-PRTR and EU ETS)

• Impact: limited to the output (a single database) but does not improve the reporting process itself

• Merging of reporting schemas (Retro-fitting of the reporting schemas) • Tackles the data streamlining issue in an earlier phase • Main challenges: differences in criteria and definitions set out by the different

legal frameworks (e.g. different reporting entities, sectoral differences).

• Streamlining of legislation aims at removing inconsistencies, reducing duplications and aligning definitions through changes in legislation.

• High initial investment: • legislative action (full co-decision process for the different legislative acts

involved) • Substantial changes to the existing legislation • development of the single reporting framework.
