Germany, alongside with the European Union (EU) and EU Member States, has signed the //UN-ECE PRTR Protocol//, whereby Germany commits to establish and operate a national Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) for public information. //The E-PRTR Regulation (European Regulation (EC) No 166/2006)// and the //German PRTR Act (SchadRegProtAG)// | Germany, alongside with the European Union (EU) and EU Member States, has signed the //UN-ECE PRTR Protocol//, whereby Germany commits to establish and operate a national Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) for public information. //The E-PRTR Regulation (European Regulation (EC) No 166/2006)// and the //German PRTR Act (SchadRegProtAG)// | ||

For the first time in 2017 and then every four years, EU Member States must report spatially distributed emissions (raster data) with a resolution of 0.1° x 0.1° (longitude-latitude). Large point sources (LPS) must be reported every 4 years, starting in 2017. Reporting is mandatory for agro-industrial and industrial activities whose annual emissions exceed certain thresholds, which correspond to those for emissions reporting under //the E-PRTR Regulation (European Regulation (EC) No 166/ | For the first time in 2017 and then every four years, EU Member States must report spatially distributed emissions (raster data) with a resolution of 0.1° x 0.1° (longitude-latitude).

- | Germany provided its point source data under the LRTAP convention for the first time in 2017. However, additional information is missing, such as stack heights, which are not available at the federal level.
