Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Table A

Annual emission reporting requirements as referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 8(1)

Nomenclature for reporting (NFR) as provided by the LRTAP Convention.

natural emissions shall be reported in accordance with the methodologies laid down in the LRTAP Convention and the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook. They shall not be included in national totals and shall be reported separately.

Cd (cadmium), Hg (mercury), Pb (lead).

POPs (persistent organic pollutants).

PAHs (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).

PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls).

HCB (hexachlorobenzene).

‘PM10’ means particles with an aerodynamic diameter equal to or less than 10 micrometres (μm).

re-submissions due to errors shall be provided within four weeks at the latest and include a clear explanation of the changes made.
