Abstract:
The European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) established by Regulation 166/266/EC requires countries to annually report information on the releases to air and water and on off-side transfers of waste water and waste. The data are published on the E-PRTR web site by the European Commission with assistance of the European Environment Agency (EEA).
This report covers the second informal review of the E-PRTR dataset organised by EEA together with three of its ETCs (ETC/ACC, ETC/SCP and ETC/W). The main objective of this informal review is to assist countries in the improvement of the E-PRTR data quality by providing feedback on potential data quality issues and inconsistencies with other reportings.
The main objective of this report is to provide a summary of the information on the 2010 review process and findings (covering reporting year 2008).
Detailed results of automated stage 1 test were provided to countries on 30 July 2010 under the form of country-specific Excel tables. Country-specific feedback reports (Word files) covering the stage 1 and stage 2 checks were made available to countries on 1 September in country-specific Word files together with Excel files.
All review results can be downloaded from CIRCA by Eionet users under the following link: [Right click to Open in new Window or Open in new Tab] http://eea.eionet.europa.eu/Members/irc/eionet-circle/e-prtr/library?l=/e-prtr/country_feedback/2010_2008_dataset&vm=detailed&sb=Title.
