# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1208 of 7 August 2020 on structure, format, submission processes and review of information reported by Member States pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 749/2014, Division (2): Use of notation keys: as regards the terms of use defined in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (chapter 8: reporting guidance and Tables), the notation keys of IE (included elsewhere), NO (not occurring), C (confidential) and NA (not applicable) may be used, as appropriate when projections do not yield data on a specific reporting level (see 2006 IPCC Guidelines).

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The use of the notation key NE (Not Estimated) shall be restricted to the situation where a disproportionate amount of effort would be required to collect data for a category or a gas from a specific category that would be insignificant in terms of the overall level and trend in national emissions. In these circumstances a Member State shall list all categories and gases from categories excluded on these grounds, together with a justification for exclusion in terms of the likely level of emissions or removals and identify the category as ‘not estimated’ using the notation key ‘NE’ in the reporting Tables.
