The annual reporting of the greenhouse gas inventory consists of a National Inventory Report (NIR) prepared according to due form and emissions calculations (CRF-tables) which are submitted to the EU and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) annually. The reported data always concern the emissions of two years ago. In addition, a so-called national communication containing detailed data on i.a. national conditions, climate strategies as well as policy measures to cut emissions, is prepared at approximately four-year intervals.
The climate policy follow-up indicators together with evaluation reports of the European Commission on progress towards Kyoto targets are also closely related to the inventory reports.
