A ‘with measures’ projection shall include implemented and adopted policies and measures. A ‘with additional measures’ projection shall include planned policies and measures. Member States may include information on ‘without measures’ projections as part of their ‘with measures’ and ‘with additional measures’ projections. A ‘without measures’ projection shall exclude all policies and measures implemented, adopted or planned after the year chosen as the starting year for this projection. 2 The descriptions of methodologies, models, underlying assumptions and key input and output parameters referred to in Article 3(2)(b)(iv) of Decision No 280/2004/EC, shall include, if used, the mandatory parameters set out in point 1 of Annex IV to this Decision. Member States are encouraged to report the parameters on projections included in the list of recommended parameters set out in point 2 of Annex IV to this Decision. Member States shall undertake a sensitivity analysis of their projections, focused on the key input variables in their projection models. Member States are encouraged to define a high, central and low scenario for the key input variables and to quantify projected emissions for these scenarios. Member States are furthermore encouraged to include a measure of robustness of their predictive model and its methods used for their assessments. Member States may consider the use of multi-variant scenarios, using combinations of input variables. Reporting under Article 3(2)(a)(vi) and Article 3(2)(d) of Decision No 280/2004/EC Article 11 Member States shall provide information on their use of joint implementation, the clean development mechanism and international emissions trading, pursuant to Articles 6, 12 and 17 of the Kyoto Protocol, to meet their quantified emission limitation or reduction commitments pursuant to Article 2 of Council Decision 2002/358/EC and the Kyoto Protocol on the basis of the questionnaire set out in Annex V to this Decision.
