Time table for bilateral consultations on the CAFE baseline scenario

• Discrepancies between national and international statistics on energy use, transport and agriculture for the year 2000, if any
  
• Emission inventories for the year 2000 for SO2, NOx, VOC, NH3 and PM
• Potential discrepancies between national and Europe-wide projections on energy, transport and agriculture up to 2020 (i.e., the PRIMES and DG-AGRI projections as presented at the 1st stakeholder meeting). Since the Europe-wide projections are developed by organizations other than IIASA, it will be important to have national comments BEFORE the meeting, so that we could ask the authors for their feedback in time for the bilateral meetings
• Presentation of national projections on energy, transport and agriculture (to be supplied by the national experts in the "EMEP Nomenclature for Reporting" (NFR) format (see EMEP site), ideally before the meeting)
• The emission abatement potential and costs (cost curves) as calculated by the RAINS model for the years 2010, 2015 and 2020 for SO2, NOx, VOC, NH3 and PM.

To facilitate discussion and review, IIASA will make all relevant data of the RAINS model and its documentation available on the Internet. We are presently working on the technicalities and will inform you in due course on how to access these data.

Due to the complexity of the matter, we foresee two days for each consultation. We invite the national coordinators for CAFE and, if appropriate, energy, transport and agricultural experts to attend these meetings. We will reimburse travel costs for up to two experts per country according to the standard rules of the Commission, i.e., economy class air fare if > 400 km, no hotel and daily subsistence).

To fix further dates, please contact Markus Amann or Janusz Cofala at IIASA.
