Mechanism for monitoring greenhouse gases<\/p>\n

Regulation (EU) No 525\/2013 \u2014 mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and other information relevant to climate change<\/p>\n

This regulation, the Monitoring Mechanism Regulation (MMR), significantly expands and strengthens the previous mechanism for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the EU.
\nIt aims to enhance the monitoring and reporting procedures and rules for GHG emissions.<\/p>\n

Incorporating new reporting and monitoring requirements arising from the EU\u2019s 2020 Climate and Energy Package and from recent decisions adopted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it replaces the old monitoring mechanism established under Decision 280\/2004\/EC.<\/p>\n

Key Points<\/p>\n

The regulation:<\/p>\n

enhances the monitoring, reporting and review procedures and rules, which allows for the implementation of domestic and international commitments;
\nestablishes an EU-wide greenhouse gas inventory* system that seeks to strengthen transparency and completeness between the GHG inventories of EU countries;
\nincorporates EU countries\u2019 information on their planning and strategies for adaptation to climate change, covering aspects such as flooding, draughts and extreme temperatures;
\nstrengthens the reporting by the EU and EU countries on financial and technological support provided to developing countries; and
\nensures the timeliness, transparency, accuracy, comparability and completeness of data reported by the EU and EU countries.<\/p>\n
