Discussion on way forward, addressing the following issues:

Review of chapters and prioritisation

Review of VOC data against chapters, P. van der Most

Addressing uncertainty

Links with industry

Modus operandi of Panel, Emission Factors Database, Meetings

Planning of future meetings

Summary of discussion, any other issues
2 MODUS OPERANDI
In the future the work of the expert panel will be organised in the following way:
A small expert group writes a chapter, reviews it, if relevant sends it out to industrial and
other organisations, incorporate their comments appropriately and produce the Final Draft.
The Final Draft Chapter is then send out to the C&I Panel for acceptance via e-mail within a
set deadline (2 weeks), when it becomes an Approved Chapter. If substantial comments are
made, then the expert group has to consider them and when appropriate include them in
the Final Draft Chapter, which is then sent again for approval. The Approved Chapter is then
submitted to the secretariat for inclusion in the Guidebook.
Most of the work of the Panel will evolve in the future via e-mail, with ad-hoc meetings
whenever a need is identified.
Action: The JRC has to set up and maintain a mailing list of Panel experts. The list will be
provided to the new secretariat at regular intervals.
3 PRIORITISATION
Emphasis should be placed at POPs, HMs and particulate matter, both for size and
composition, e.g. particle size distributions for various activities.
Action: A review of chapters will be performed by PM, JP and CT to identify and prioritise
where work is needed, taking into account the priority substances and the issue of default
vs. detailed methodology.
Action: CT and RdL offered to re-write the solvent chapters.
Action: The JRC will distribute to the contributing authors in the coming weeks the chapter
on small combustion sources for comments. After that the chapter incorporating comments,
will be circulated to the whole expert panel for comments and approval within 2 weeks.
Action: PM will circulate the Ni chapters to relevant industrial associations and other
experts. Once comments are incorporated the chapter will be circulated to the whole expert
panel for comments and approval within 2 weeks.
Action: SK will include HCB and PCB emission factors for combustion sources which will be
developed for the Task Force.
Action: JP will participate on behalf of the C&I Panel to a Task-Group on Particulate Matter.
4. CONTACTS
Contacts with industry, IMPEL, EIPPCB, EGTEI, Research Projects (especially those of DGRES) will be established. A first letter will be sent by the Panel to identified experts and
associations to invite them to participate in the work of the panel. The industrial association
should be asked only if they want to be included in our distribution list.
Action: to all members and in particular JP and BM: Inform the JRC of all relevant
activities/groups and provide contact points to the JRC.
5. EMISSION FACTORS DATABASE
The idea of the DB was well accepted. Focused sectorial meetings with experts,
stakeholders and producers of data should be initiated by the JRC in order to populate the
DB with EF. The DB has to be compatible with the EFDB of the IPCC.
The DB should also help in finding EF for more detailed methodologies, and further
breakdown of sectors.
The BREFs should be analysed for Emission Factors, or appropriate descriptions to be
included or mentioned in our chapters.
Action: CT to send a first analysis of Emission Factors in some of the BREFs already
performed in Italy.
