-According to the **GGR-Chapter 6.10** "verification activities" refer to emission estimates only. +According to the **Chapter 6.10** of Volume 1 - General Guidance and Reporting of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, "verification activities" refer to emission estimates only. 
  
 Verification activities for emission factors and activity data are subsumed under the headword and chapter "quality control", which is a somewhat confusing approach. Nevertheless, and by leaving this peculiarity aside, verification, next to QC, is undoubtedly one key to ensure confidence and reliability of the estimates, corresponding emission factors and activity data. Verification activities for emission factors and activity data are subsumed under the headword and chapter "quality control", which is a somewhat confusing approach.

 Within the QSE framework, a concept was developed that defines binding responsibilities inside the German Environment Agency for the implementation of the necessary QC and QA measures. Within the QSE framework, a concept was developed that defines binding responsibilities inside the German Environment Agency for the implementation of the necessary QC and QA measures.
  
-The purpose of defining roles and responsibilities is to facilitate the effective information exchange and the directive-conformal execution of QC and QA. The following roles are also used for reporting under CLRTAP (but are not yet established on a mandatory basis).+The purpose of defining roles and responsibilities is to facilitate the effective information exchange and the directive-conformal execution of QC and QA.

 The workflow specified by the QSE is also applied for activity data and, additionally, emission factors for NFR 3 - Agriculture. However, in contrast to UNFCCC GHG reporting, no administrative agreement with the data-providing institution is in place yet. The workflow specified by the QSE is also applied for activity data and, additionally, emission factors for NFR 3 - Agriculture.

-Moreover, these parts of the adopted design are altered to serve the purposes of UNECE/CLRTAP reporting in the present state. For example, FV are currently responsible for compiling, entry (into the CSE data base) and, if necessary, the calculating of activity data but, in contrast to GHG reporting under UNFCCC, mostly not for compiling of emission factors. +Moreover, these parts of the adopted design are altered to serve the purposes of UNECE/CLRTAP reporting in the present state.

-As mentioned above, as all activity data (except for the handling of bulk products) are also applied for UNFCCC-Reporting, the same QA procedures are already in force for activity data within the UNECE reporting.+As mentioned above, as all activity data (except for the handling of bulk products) are also applied for UNFCCC reporting, the same QA procedures are already in force for activity data within the UNECE reporting.
