General notes

Data on inventories of emissions and removals as well as data on projections are included in the tables below. The purpose of these tables is to present in a consistent and comparable fashion inventory data from the Parties included in Annex I to the Convention. The tables include comments and footnotes where appropriate, but further details and a description of the inventories of emissions and removals, and projections are included in FCCC/CP/1996/12/Add.1.

It should be noted that the figures presented here do not necessarily correspond to those in the national communications as originally submitted, as Parties have provided new submissions, and updates have been made in the course of in-depth reviews and at the direct request of the secretariat during the process of the second compilation and synthesis of national communications.

Figures may differ from those submitted to the secretariat as a result of rounding during data input and processing, corrections of typographical and calculation errors or omissions, and the presentation (for consistency and comparability) of subtotals and totals not provided in the communications or other submissions. Some differences are also due to the fact that, in striving to ensure consistency and comparability of results, the secretariat has had to convert some of the estimates reported so that they concur with the guidelines for preparation of national communications. Such changes include subtraction of emissions from bunker fuels, "electricity import corrections" and "temperature corrections".

The information contained in this document covers 31 Annex I Parties which submitted their national communications by 1 May 1996, that is all Annex I Parties except Belgium⁽¹⁾ (information available for tables A.1 and A.2 only), the European Community⁽²⁾ and Lithuania,⁽³⁾ plus Liechtenstein and Monaco which, though not listed in Annex I, have also submitted their communications. Belarus, Turkey and Ukraine, although included in

Annex I, have not yet ratified or acceded to the Convention.

Explanatory notes

A minus sign (-) before a figure indicates an amount subtracted or a decrease.

A point (.) is used to indicate decimals.

() before a figure indicates an approximation.

() before a figure indicates that the actual figure is equal to or less than the figure shown.

() before a figure indicates that the actual figure is equal to or greater than the figure shown.

(<) before a figure indicates that the actual figure is less than the figure shown.

(>) before a figure indicates that the actual figure is greater than the figure shown.
