EEA Review Tool
The EMRT is a web-based tool hosted by the EEA to facilitate quality checks and reviews of national emission inventories reported by EU Member States, Iceland, and Norway. Rules and procedures for reporting of greenhouse gas emission inventories and conducting a Union expert review are laid down in the EU Governance Regulation.
The EMRT was developed in 2014 under a service contract commissioned by DG Climate Action in order to streamline the procedure of recording review findings and communicating questions to countries and replies back to the review team. From 2015 onwards the tool is used in the annual review process under the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD) and the ‘initial QA/QC checks’ under the EU GHG inventory compilation. In 2020, the tool was used to facilitate the comprehensive review under the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR). Currently the tool is used to facilitate the quality checks of national inventories.
