Abstract
EU Member States must comply with the National Emission Ceilings Directive (NECD – 2001/81/EC). In this respect it is important for the national authorities to compile a complete emission inventory for all major sources within the limits of the country. The third edition of the EMEP/CORINAIR Atmospheric Emission Inventory Guidebook contains the methodology to compile such an inventory. It has been prepared by the expert panels of the UNECE/EMEP Task Force on Emission Inventories and Projections and is published by the European Environment Agency (EEA).
