Data completeness

A number of reporting countries have to date not submitted some of the most recent data. For additional information please refer to the metadata document.

- Norway adid not report data under the EU Registry (2017 onwards). Historical data have been included through an internal EEA mapping exercise

- Data for reporting year 2018 and 2019 for Liechtenstein and Slovakia is incomplete.

- Data for reporting year 2020 for Iceland, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta and Slovakia is incomplete

- Data for reporting year 2021 for Czechia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Serbia, Slovakia and Switzerland is incomplete

- The dataset will be updated and a new version will be made available as soon as missing reporting data has been submitted.

- This dataset is based on information reported on two separate reporting obligations (EU Registry and E-PRTR/LCP).

- The update frequency is annually as a minimum.

Inclusion of historic data reported under E-PRTR and IED

EEA, supported by its ETC (ETC/ATNI) mapped data historically reported to the E-PRTR and IED to the new data model behind the dataset at hand.

This was possible by using as starting point administrative data reported under EU Registry, E-PRTR and Large Combustion Plants for reporting year 2017. Using either the FacilityID or the PlantID a correspondence with the Facility and the InstallationPart as defined in the EU Registry has been made.

Thematic data regarding pollutant releases and transfers as well as waste transfers reported to the E-PRTR for reporting years 2007 to 2017 are therfore incorporated into this dataset.

Similarly data regarding fuel inputs, emissions and others formerly made available via the Large Combustion Plant inventory are also incorporated for reporting years 2016 and 2017.

The dataset resulting from this mapping project are currently shared with Countries pending their final confirmation.

Northern Ireland was reported as part of the United Kingdom (2007-2020). From 2021 Northern Ireland will be a region of the United Kingdom that will be reported as part of the Northern Ireland protocol.

Units
