National emission inventory system
SNIEPA (Système National d’Inventaire des Emissions de Polluants dans l’Atmosphère)
The single national inventory system covers all national air emission inventories (ie for UN and EC purposes) and other national needs
The Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development (MEDD) is the national authority responsible for managing this issue
CITEPA is responsible for inventory compilation for all source categories, technical discussion with international organisations, assists the MEDD in coordinating activities, provides facilities for dissemination (Internet)More details on National emission inventory system and methodologies
http://www.citepa.org/publications/Inventaires.htm#inv6
Various ministries and organisations (technical and research centres, statistics institutes, professional organisations, etc.) are also involved as data providers
Institutional arrangements are still under discussion to fulfil EC and UNFCCC decisions

Overview of main features of QA/QC plan
Inventory compilation based on processus and procedures driven by a quality management system (QMS)
QA/QC is operational and implemented through a QMS (CITEPA is certified ISO 9001 version 2000 for emission inventories)
The QA/QC plan focuses on improvements on an ongoing basis, especially by reducing uncertainties, by covering more substances, both in a convenient and efficient way
QA/QC plan developped according to QMS rules (ISO 9001) and includes sections on :
quality objectives,
quality control,
quality assurance,
overview of process, procedures and recording related to GPG
Documentation, archiving : stringent requirements in QMS to trace all information (including origin, primary data, assumptions, etc.) and all intermediate and final results

Quality control
QC procedures are applied to all input data including those provided by statistics institutes or administrations
Priority is focussed on non validated data vs official data
Checks on input data enables a high level of reliability more than an accurate assessment of absolute values
Common QC procedures compatible with IPCC good practices are applied to the different stages in the processes
Example :
documentation, assumptions, primary calculations are compiled within « methodology files »
the national inventory system includes approximatively 140 files which cover the SNAP activities (some files deal with several SNAP codes).
Some data (activity rates, emission factors, etc. are common to several files. Mapping these files makes it possible to check interlinked consistency

Quality assurance
Procedures in place : CCIIE (Coordination and Information Committee on Emission Inventories) + international review (UNFCCC) + external experts (for some activities)
Other complete external reviews are expected but not yet implemented because of resources needed but not available
An action plan is progressively drawn up over time from :
• decisions taken at recent CCIIE meetings,
• events occurring during the current year,
• changes and improvements following remarks from reviews, errors, new information available
and approved / delayed / rejected by the CCIIE
Every year, final statement by early December (data sent before31st December N+1, reports available within January / March N+2

UNFCCC Workshop on National Systems – Bonn, April 2005
Inventory development
Goals : satisfy terms of reference including specifications such as UNFCCC guidelines and GPG, EC recommandations
QMS procedures are applied to continuously improve the inventory (and the system)
CURRENT PERCENTAGE OF TIER LEVELS (ABSOLUTE LEVEL 2003)
90 % of 42 key sources are estimated from Tier 2 or more methods
82 % of key sources emission are estimated from Tier 2 or more methods
CURRENT PERCENTAGE OF TIER LEVELS (TREND 1990 – 2003)
90 % of 54 key sources are estimated from Tier 2 methods or more
93 % of key sources contribution are estimated from Tier 2 methods or moreUNFCCC Workshop on National Systems – Bonn, April 2005
Inventory development - improvements 1 / 3
1. Identification of improvement areas
Topics previously delayed,
Feedback from UNFCCC ERT and EU GHG MM checks,
Feedback from inventory compilers (ie. checks),
Feedback from inventory users,
Feedback from non GHG inventories (verification and use) This input can be valuable by pointing out problems affecting as well relevant items for GHG inventories
-> strong interest for a single inventory system
All feedbacks pointing out problems are registered within the QMS (CITEPA is certified ISO 9001 version 2000 for emission inventories)

Respond to ERT comments
Differents steps :
Arrange availability of experts to respond during the review period,
Provide explanations as quickly as possible (high priority),
Treat ERT comments as feedback in the improvement process for the next inventory release,
ERT review report is carefully analysed,
Response is provided to UNFCCC through official authority,
Communication to EC for EU inventory reporting
