Items
Revision NEC Directive will not be proposed by current College of Commissioners
New College will decide how to proceed further
Preparatory work could of use for revision of Gothenburg Protocol
NECD Projections
Horizon for emission projections in NEC Directive is 2010. No EU-legal basis for Member States to submit emission projections with a horizon beyond 2010.
GP/HM/POP Projections
EB-decision 2008/16
Approves the decision by the EMEP Steering Body at its thirty-second session that, in addition to the (annual update of the) emission projections for 2010, 2015 and 2020 as specified in decision 2005/1, Parties within the geographical scope of EMEP shall also report their data on emission projections for 2030 and longer-term projections if available (for example, 2050), in view of the analysis of the links between air pollution and climate change
Long-term objectives
TFIAM - Workshop 5-6 March 2009http://iiasa.ac.at/rains/meetings/Aspiration2050/Presentations.html
WGSR 20 – 23 April 2009 invited relevant TF’s and EP’s to continue working on the issue of long term objectives.
Result also interesting for future NECD-revision

biannually emission projections for the air pollutants listed in [ …]
annually draw up an informative inventory report containing detailed information on methodologies used in the preparations of their emission inventories and emission projections.

PRIMES baseline
PRIMES 2007 baseline was used for NECD-revision
Work for PRIMES 2009 is ongoing
Can be used for NECD revision and for Gothenburg Protocol (gap filling in national projections or replace national projections for EU-27)
Process of consultation
31 March 2009: meeting of MS energy economists to discuss major assumptions of new energy baseline
25 April 2009: comments invited from MS experts on the major assumptions for their country
May-June 2009: draft results (in terms of energy use) per MS available Consultation with MS on country results Finalization/publication results (2007baseline://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/
figures/trends_2030_update_2007/energy_transport_trends_2030_update_2007_en.pdf)
July 2009 and beyond Use of results for policy analysis
Contents of consultation so far
