2. Outline of the presentation
General
Data basis
First results
Summary and outlook

3. General (1)
Legal basis
Monitoring Mechanism (Article 6): annual assessment of actual and projected progress of EC and MS towards fulfilling their GHG commitments
Guidelines: evaluation of actual progress
at EC and MS level
at sector level
use of indicators

4. General (2) Purpose actual progress assessment under MM
update of EEA Topic Report No 6/2000
focus on non-CO2 GHG emissions
more policy orientation by identifying relevant indicators

5. General (3)
Approach
Identify consistent and comparable indicators based on primary data of MS (CRF) and Eurostat
Assess progress by calculating distance-to-target indicators
Assess trends of main driving forces
Assess trends at sectoral level
Identify promising trends of MS (step towards policy effectiveness assessment)

6. Data basis: EC inventory (1)
The process of compiling the EC inventory

7. Data basis: EC inventory (2)
