Annual European Community CLRTAP emission inventory 1990-2003 : submission to the Executive Body of the UNECE Convention on long-range transboundary air polution

This report is the annual European Community CLRTAP emission inventory presenting the European Community air pollution data from the years 1990 to 2003. The report provides an overview of emission trends and data availability for EU-25; NFR Tables IV 1A are provided for EU-15 only. This report also shows the data availability of the emission data under the European Community directive on national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants. This year, for the first time, NEC data for all EU-15 Member States are available. Up to now, there is no formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) plan available for the EC inventory. However, with data availability increasing from year to year, more emphasis will be laid on QA/QC activities.
