-When preparing the current inventory data, statistical data are only available for the previous reporting year, as the Federal Statistical Office's waste statistics are one year behind schedule. The current reporting year must therefore be extrapolated on the basis of the previous year. The result of this approach is revised by the correct data in the following year. For this reason, annual recalculations are required for the previous year. Since the resulting recalculation is always very small, it is no longer reported here. +When preparing the current inventory data, statistical data are only available for the previous reporting year.

-Additionally, a transmission error has been noticed during the annual quality assurance - the 1990 value for the annual data on biowaste was falsely entered for the year 1991. The error has been corrected. For 1991 and 1992 statistical data do not exist, which is why an intrapolation for the missing values has been performed. +
-The correction leads to significantly higher emissions in 1990+
