Integration of the E-PRTR and the LCP reporting New project approach and plan

2 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

New arrangements

• EEA takes the lead on this activity

– Technical revision will come first

– IT developments subsequently

• New timeline

• Enhanced involvement of countries

• Guidance will be drafted and agreed with countries

• This dataflow considered as not-INSPIRE relevant

3 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Brief summary of the concept

4 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

E-PRTR and LCP reporting – current concept

5 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Integrated data reporting for E-PRTR/LCP

• Scope of consolidated report

– annual data in relation to Article 7 of the E-PRTR Regulation and

– all thematic information on combustion plants (LCPs) covered by chapter III of the IED

• Emissions (NOx, SO2, dust)

• Fuel input

• Derogations

• Other parameters (e.g. Operating hours)

6 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Integrated data reporting for E-PRTR/LCP

• Aspects that will be revised

– Data model – towards more integration, more optimisation

– Removing redundancies with EU registry (e.g. derogations)

– Code list cleaning

– Enhanced QA/QC

–Use of FME for conversion purposes (to replace desktop validation tool)

– Test cycle

Project plan

8 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

New project plan

• Being drafted as we speak

• Target:

– New system operational by the end of 2018

– Deadline for countries March 2019

• Activities:

– Revision of data requirements

• Datamodel, documentation, QA/QC logic

– Drafting/updating of guidance

– IT Development

– Testing

9 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Milestones for MS

• Need to await until EU registry is more mature

• Development of tools – October 2017 – Consultation data requirements

– November 2017 – DG ENV to formally approve the data requirements

– November 2017 – QA/QC logic

– June 2018 – Deployment of software in CDR-test

– Sep-Dec 2018 – testing cycle for MS (voluntary)

• Guidance – December 2017 – EEA will table an FAQ/Guidance document

• Operational phase – Opening for reports: Dec 2018

– Deadline for countries March 2019

10 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Transition to the new system

• E-PRTR

– No changes in reporting mechanism in 2017 and 2018

• Combustion plants

– 2017: reporting using the current web-form (2015 reporting year)

– 2018: reporting under IED using a web-form largely based in the current one (2016 reporting year)

• As from 2019

– All countries use the new system

– The EEA will not run two parallel mechanisms

11 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Involvement of countries

12 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Involvement of countries

• Eionet NFP will receive letter

– Nomination of experts to follow the process

• Consultations

– Countries will be consulted several times during 2017 • Data requirements/Data model

• QA/QC logic

• Guidance

• Official testing

– Will only take place in 2018

• Project website will post updates (http://cdrtest.eionet.europa.eu/help/eprtr_lcp)

– Most crucial updates will also be communicated to mailing list

13 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Feedback to the process

14 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Feedback received so far

• EEA has received the feedback sent to the Commission after March 2016

• The feedback has been logged and analysed but has NOT been addressed

• It will be subject of analysis in the new revision we start now

15 - IEEG and E-PRTR Expert Group

Set of questions

• EEA appreciates countries to provide feedback on: – The current data model – so that we can already tackle

countries views in the revision we will implement now

– The content of the guidance – items of interest for countries

– Signal issues they consider dysfunctional in the current E-PRTR and LCP mechanisms

– Any other relevant aspect

• Deadline and contact:

– By 25th November
