JRC technical workshop 2017 on LULUCF reporting
Outcomes of the QA/QC checks 2017
- Focus on preliminary list of questions from the UNFCCC Expert Review Team -
By R. Abad Viñas, T. Priwitzer, S. Rossi, G. Grassi.JRC. Directorate D – Sustainable ResourcesD.1 Bio-Economy Unit
Stresa (NO), Italy 26-27 April 2017

Summary
1.- Overview and results of the QA/QC checks 2017.
2.- Most common issues raised in 2017 that adversely affect the EU submission.
3
QA/QC context and results
Submissions for 3 MS not available at the time of the January QA/QC checks
No option to check these submissions. A loop in the QA/QC process was lost that could have served to clarify/resolve issues.
LULUCF/KP-LULUCF information for 3 MS was not updated in 2017
Issues raised in 2016 still valid in 2017. If not resolved in May they will prevent a EU submission in line with ERT recommendations.
For some MS CRF tables submitted with significant numbers of blank cells
No option to check the adherence to TACCC principles. A single issue on completeness was uploaded into the EMRT.
Significant number of issues acknowledged by MS in January remained in March
If not resolved in May they will prevent a EU submission in line with ERT recommendations.

215 issues uploaded into the EMRT in 2017
97 issues related to KP
118 issues related to Convention
Final conclusion on issues by 19 April 2017
125 issues Resolved – Issues raised in January resolved in March.
58 issues Partly Resolved – MS informed that issue will be resolved in May.
10 issues Unresolved – MS acknowledged the need for improvements next year.
22 issues Open [Unresolved] – MS did not submit a reply to the question.

Table 4.1: LAND TRANSITION MATRIX
1. Inconsistencies between FINAL areas reported in table 4.1 and TOTAL areas reported in tables 4.A – 4.F.
Consistency needs to be ensured by reporting the same area in these tables.
2. Sum of total areas reported under the land use categories is not constant across the time series.
The sum of the areas for the land use categories needs to be constant and match official country area.
3. Inconsistencies in the time series between “initial area” for the year (t) and “final areas” reported for the year (t-1) in table 4.1
Consistency on areas needs to be ensured along the time series for all the year and for each single land use category.
4. Inconsistencies on land use changes areas reported in table 4.1 when these areas match “land converted to” reported in tables 4.A – 4.F.
The table 4.1 provides information on areas and changes in areas between the previous and the current inventory year (i.e. annual) while under “land converted to” 20 years accumulated areas are reported.

(1) For Parties using reporting approach 1 to represent land areas, only data on the initial and final area per land use should be filled in. Notation key "NA" (not applicable) should be used in such
cases for the specific land use transitions, allowing for the formulas in the cells for final and initial areas to be overwritten. Coastal wetlands areas which are not part of total land area should not be
included in this land matrix.(2) Definitions for the respective land use categories used by the Party should be provided in the NIR, in accordance with the definitions of land use categories in Volume 4, chapter 3, section 3.2
(3) Parties may report only the total area of unmanaged land area and enter the notation key IE under the individual unmanaged land uses categories.

Table 4(III): Direct nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from nitrogen
mineralization/immobilization associated with loss/gain of SOM resultingfrom change of land use or management of mineral soils
1. Loss of SOC from mineral soils reported under tables 4.A-4.F, but associated N2O emissions are not reported in table 4(III)
N2O emissions in table 4(III) should be reported when a loss of SOC is reported in table 4.A-4.F (exception for 4B1 that are covered in agriculture)
Footnote 1: Methodologies for N2O emissions from N mineralization associated with loss of soil organic matter resulting from change of land use or management of mineral soils are based on equations 11.1, 11.2 and 11.8 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines. N2O immobilization associated with gain of organic matter resulting from change of land use or management of mineral soils can be reported only when a Party applies a tier 3 approach in the relevant calculation.
Footnote 2: N2O emissions from Cropland remaining cropland are included in the agriculture sector .

Most common issues QA/QC 2017
1. Direct N2O emissions are reported in tables 4(I) and/or 4(III), but no Indirect N2O emissions are reported in table 4(IV)
Indirect N2O emissions in table 4(IV) should be reported when direct N2O emissions are reported in table 4(I) and/or 4(III) (some circumstances allow to report these emissions under agriculture, in this case use the notation key IE)
Footnote 1: If the sources of nitrogen (N) cannot be separated other than between cropland and grasslands they should be included in the agriculture sector and reported in table 3.D(b). This should be explicitly indicated in the documentation box.
Footnote 4: Report atmospheric deposition and leaching and runoff of N from the following sources of N inputs: synthetic and organic N fertlizer from land use categories, other than cropland and grassland (these emissions are reported in the agriculture sector), and N mineralization associated with loss of soil organic matter resulting from change of land use or management on mineral soils in all land use categories except for cropland remaining cropland.

KP- Table NIR 2 : LAND TRANSITION MATRIX
1. Inconsistencies between “Total area at the end of the current inventory year” reported in table NIR 2 for 3.3. and 3.4 activities and Area subject to these activities reported in tables 4(KP-I)A.1 - 4(KP-I)B.5
Consistency needs to be ensured by reporting the same area.
2. Inconsistencies between “Total area at the end of the current inventory year” reported in table NIR 2 (column J) and final area reported in Table 4.1
The information provided among these tables needs to be consistent.
[Footnote 7 table NIR2: The value in the cell of row "Total area at the end of the current inventory year" corresponds to the total land area of a country.]
2. Inconsistencies in the time series between “Total area at the end of the previous inventory year” for the year (t) and “Total area at the end of the current inventory year” reported for the year (t-1) in table NIR-2
Consistency on areas needs to be ensured along the time series for all the year and for each single KP activity.

Table 4(KP-I)B.1.1: Additional information on FMRL and technical correction
1. Misallocation of the information on FMRL and technical correction provided in CRF Table 4(KP-I)B.1.1
Information on FMRL and TC have to be provided always and for all MS under the “Business-as-usual projection” approach although several projection methods were used.
2. Information on FMRL does not match the number inscribed in the appendix to the annex of decision 2/CMP.7
Following the footnote 2 the value to be provide have to match the value in the 2/CMP.7. Note that the quantities need to be in kt CO2 eq/yr

1. Lack of information on Forest Management cap
Information on FM CAP need to be provided following footnote 11 (3.5 per cent of the national total emissions excluding LULUCF in the base year times eight) at the latest once the initial report (base year emissions) are “approved”
2. Lack of information for non-elected activities or provisions
To allow a correct interpretation of the information and EU aggregation, please provide a complete set of information.

Additional specific requests from the UNFCCC ERT of the EU GHGI 2016
1. Lack of information on Key Category analysis in CRF table NIR-3
In 2017 some MS provided information while some other MS stated that the CRF Reporter does not allow to include such information.
2. Harmonization of the notation key among MS
Historically reiterated issue while at the same time seems difficult to implement Efforts are needed often a MS used different NK for the same assumption Please check Decision 24/CP.19 “Revision of the UNFCC reporting Guidelines”
3. Provide explicit information on how HWP from Deforestation are treated
When quantitative estimates are reported, provide explicit information on the origin of these HWP. E.g. Are from trees growing in previously deforested areas.
Harvest originating from deforestation events need to be accounted for in the basis of instantaneous oxidation. A way to probe that you use the correct approach is to fill in the information on quantities for the item in the CRF table 4(KP-I)C “Harvest originating from deforestation events”
