If a consistent time series of reported estimates for the relevant source category is available from the Member State for previous years that has not been subject to adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol, extrapolation of that time series shall be used to obtain the emission estimate.
For carbon dioxide emissions from the energy sector, extrapolation of emissions should be based on the percentage change of Eurostat carbon dioxide emission estimates.
3. If the estimate for the relevant source category was subject to adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol in previous years and the Member State has not submitted a revised estimate, the basic adjustment method used by the expert review team as set out in the technical guidance on methodologies for adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol, hereinafter referred to as ‘the technical guidance for adjustments’, shall be used, without application of the conservativeness factor defined in that guidance.
4. If a consistent time series of reported estimates for the relevant source category is not available and if the estimate of the source category has not been subject to adjustments under Article 5(2) of the Kyoto Protocol, the estimation shall be based on the technical guidance for adjustments, without application of the conservativeness factor defined in that guidance.

(1) Key sources of the Community. To be completed by Commission/EEA with results from key category analysis from previous inventory submission.
(2) Use the following notation keys to specify the method applied:
|
|
D (IPCC default), |
|
|
RA (reference approach), |
|
|
T1 (IPCC Tier 1), |
|
|
T1a, T1b, T1c (IPCC Tier 1a, Tier 1b and Tier 1c, respectively), |
|
|
T2 (IPCC Tier 2), |
|
|
T3 (IPCC Tier 3), |
|
|
C (CORINAIR), |
|
|
CS (country specific). |
|
|
M (model) |
|
|

For each Member State the same as under the UNFCCC initial checks phase Under the Kyoto Protocol: the resubmission should be provided to the Commission within five weeks of the submission due date |
Member States provide to the Commission the resubmissions which they submit to the UNFCCC secretariat in response to the UNFCCC initial checks. The Member States should clearly specify which parts have been revised in order to facilitate the use for the Community resubmission. As the Community resubmission also has to comply with the deadlines specified in the guidelines under Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol, the resubmission has to be sent to the Commission earlier than the period foreseen in the guidelines under Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol, provided that the resubmission correct data or information that is used for the compilation of the Community inventory. |
