As a Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Austria is required to produce and regularly update National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. To date, National Greenhouse Gas Inventories have been produced for the years 1990 to 2003. By taking decision 18/CP.8 (see document FCCC/CP/2002/7/Add.2) the Conference of the Parties (COP) has undertaken to implement the UNFCCC guidelines on reporting and reviewing (FCCC/CP/2002/8). According to this decision Parties shall submit a National Inventory Report (NIR) containing detailed and complete information on their inventories, in order to ensure the transparency of the inventory (see paragraph 38 of FCCC/CP/2002/8). This is the fifth version of the National Inventory Report (NIR) submitted by Austria, it is an update of the NIR submitted in 20041. This report is based on data submitted to the UNFCCC in the common reporting format (CRF submission 2005). They differ from last yearęs reported data as some activity data have been updated or changes in methodology have been made retrospectively to enhance the accuracy of the greenhouse gas inventory (for further information see Chapter 9 Recalculations and Improvements). Thus the inventory as presented in the NIR 2005 and as submitted to the UNFCCC in the data submission 2005 replaces all previous versions of data submissions.
