-Since December 31, 2016, the new //NEC Directive (2016/2284/EU)// on the reduction of the national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants came into force, replacing the //Directive (2001/81/EC)// on National Emission Ceilings. The new //NEC Directive (2016/2284/EU)// requires EU Member States to achieve new reduction targets from 2030, which in addition to the previously regulated air pollutants SO₂, NOₓ, NMVOC and NH₃, also include reduction targets for particulate matter (PM₂.₅) for the first time. This means that the new directive imposes significantly extended reporting obligations on the EU Member States. For the first time, EU Member States are required to create emission inventories for particulate matter, heavy metals and POPs. The inventories must also include emission projections. Furthermore, emissions from large point sources must be reported and emission data must be spatially itemized. +Since December 31, 2016, the new //NEC Directive (2016/2284/EU)// on the reduction of the national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants came into force, replacing the //Directive (2001/81/EC)// on National Emission Ceilings.

For the first time, EU Member States are required to create emission inventories for particulate matter, heavy metals and POPs. The inventories must also include emission projections. Furthermore, emissions from large point sources must be reported and emission data must be spatially itemized.  
 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 166/2006)//. 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. In principle, the German LPS data submission is mainly a copy of the ePRTR data available on both the [[https://www.thru.de/thrude/|national]] and [[https://prtr.eea.europa.eu/#/home|European websites]]. However, as some additional information is missing in the ePRTR dataset, such as stack heights, which are not available at the federal level, some gap filling is needed and explained below.+Germany provided its point source data under the LRTAP convention for the first time in 2017.
