7Why 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.
8What 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

11Comparing 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
source EPER review report 2004, publ. 2007
12Who 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
13Which 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

Large VOC-install. gt200t/a or gt150 kg/h
after Lutz, Drost, 2005
15What 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
16Comparison 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!)
17How 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
18Is 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

43From 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
44Signatorties of PRTR protocol Kiev, 21 May 2003

47From 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 - may support environmental decisions in politics
and administration
