2. Aims of EGTEI
Create a forum for exchange of information on TEI between national experts and industry
Describe emission control options, their costs and ranges of uncertainties
Collection of in-country data on cost of abatement techniques for ECODAT updates
Evaluate data on typical installations submitted by countries and/or JRC Sevilla

3. Priority sectors adopted by EGTEI in January 2003
Sources covered by EU VOC directive
Paint uses
Industrial processes causing PM emissions
Small boilers in the residential and commercial sectors (PM from wood combust.)
Off-road sector
Industrial combustion

4. Status report EGTEI 2005
What has been achieved by EGTEI since the last report ?
What remains to be done ?
What may be done next year and later ?
Links with the project assessment of emerging technologies ?
How to associate more national experts and look for synergies with JRC?

5. Review of POPs protocol
Started in 2004
Substances subjected to specific review require-ments in the Protocol
Review on efficiency and sufficiency of the obligations in the protocol as to be finished in October 2006
Update of the technical annexes for PCDD and PAH emission sources
Consideration of new substances: PBDE and PFOS

6. Review of HMs protocol
Start in 2005 with priority on Cd and Hg; while this would not exclude action on other metals
Need to review control options included in the technical annexes (BAT update)
Development of an effects-based approach (possibly risk assessment)
Review on efficiency and sufficiency of the protocol obligations

7. Review of the multi-pollutant / multi-effect protocol (Gothenburg)
Expected to start in 2006 once entered into force
Identify the needs to update and integrate possible new abatement options
Review of the guidance documents to take account of new BAT
Will consider NH3 in more detail and newly consider PM2.5 and coarse PM
