  "text": "(a) evidence that the concerned national emission reduction commitment/s is/are exceeded;\n(b) evidence of the extent to which the adjustment to the emission inventory reduces the exceedance and contributes to compliance with the concerned national emission reduction commitment/s;\n(c) an estimation of whether and when the concerned national emission reduction commitment/s is/are expected to be attained based on national emission projections without the adjustment;\n(d) evidence that the adjustment is consistent with one or several of the following three circumstances. Reference can be made, as appropriate, to relevant previous adjustments:\n(i) in the case of new emission source categories:\nevidence that the new emission source category is acknowledged in scientific literature and/or the EMEP/EEA Guidebook;\nevidence that this source category was not included in the relevant historic national emission inventory at the time when the emission reduction commitment was set;\nevidence that emissions from a new source category contribute to a Member State being unable to meet its emission reduction commitments, supported by a detailed description of the methodology, data and emission factors used to arrive at that conclusion;\n(ii) in the case of significantly different emission factors used for determining emissions from specific source categories:\na description of the original emission factors, including a detailed description of the scientific basis upon which the emission factor was derived;\nevidence that the original emission factors were used for determining the emission reductions at the time when they were set;\na description of the updated emission factors, including detailed information on the scientific basis upon which the emission factor was derived;\na comparison of emission estimates made using the original and the updated emission factors, demonstrating that the change in emission factors contributes to a Member State being unable to meet its reduction commitments;\nthe rationale for deciding whether the changes in emission factors are significant;\n(iii) in the case of significantly different methodologies used for determining emissions from specific source categories:\na description of the original methodology used, including detailed information on the scientific basis upon which the emission factor was derived;\nevidence that the original methodology was used for determining the emission reductions at the time when they were set;\na description of the updated methodology used, including a detailed description of the scientific basis or reference upon which it has been derived;\na comparison of emission estimates made using the original and updated methodologies demonstrating that the change in methodology contributes to a Member State being unable to meet its reduction commitment;\nthe rationale for deciding whether the change in methodology is significant.",
