E-PRTR Review Report 2009 on the 2007 E-PRTR dataset
ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2009/15

Released: 2010/04/21: See the report

Abstract
The European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) has been established by Regulation 166/266/EC from 18 January 2006. The register contains key environmental data from about 24,000 industrial facilities in 65 economic activities in 27 European Union Member States and in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway from 2007 onwards. The register contains data on 91 pollutants released to air, water and land and transferred in water. In addition, both domestic and transboundary waste transfers are included.

This is the report of the first informal E‐PRTR data review that was carried out in 2009 and covers the reporting year 2007. It has to be pointed out that this first E‐PRTR review does not constitute a formal review as required by Article 17 of the E‐PRTR Regulation. While some of the data review checks performed may be useful as an input for the future review in accordance with Article 17, this informal review has not been specifically developed to serve this purpose.

The main objective of this report is to provide summary information on the 2009 review process and on the review findings. Detailed results of automated stage 1 test were provided to countries on 18 August 2009 in form of country specific Excel tables and Word files. In addition, ETC/ACC performed stage 1 tests for all countries on the database from 25 September. All review results can be downloaded from CIRCA by authorized users. The more detailed results of the stage 2 review were provided to the EEA and all countries in form of Excel files.
