been replaced with the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR)
(European Union 2009).
EUROPEAN POLLUTANT EMISSION REGISTER
The EPER was the first European-wide register of industrial emissions into air and
water and was established by a commission decision of July 17, 2000. The EPER
required triennial reporting of 50 chemicals by member states. EPER chemicals
included criteria pollutants, greenhouse gases, ozone-depleting compounds, pollutants harmful to water, metals, chlorinated organic compounds, nonchlorinated
organic compounds, and inorganic compounds.
The EPER data were reported in 2001 and 2004 and are published on the Internet
(European Union 2008).
EUROPEAN POLLUTANT RELEASE AND TRANSFER REGISTER
The E-PRTR replaced the EPER. The E-PRTR introduced a number of changes to
the program, including
• Increasing the reporting frequency to annual starting with reporting year 2007
• Expanding the list of facilities required to report
• Increasing the number of chemicals to 91
• Requiring reporting of releases to land, off-site transfer of waste, and
fugitive emissions (called diffuse emissions by the EU)
The E-PRTR was established to improve public access to environmental information and contribute to long-term prevention and reduction of pollution.
The E-PRTR consists of an EU-level publicly accessible electronic database which
is intended to meet the requirements of the OECD Protocol on Pollutant Release and
Transfer Registers described in this chapter.
