Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (value at given years or annual growth rate and base year) Population (value at given years or annual growth rate and base year) International coal prices at given years in euro per tonne or GJ (Gigajoule) International oil prices at given years in euro per barrel or GJ International gas prices at given years in euro per m3 or GJ

Total gross inland consumption in Petajoule (PJ) (split by oil, gas, coal, renewables, nuclear, other) Total electricity production by fuel type (oil, gas, coal, renewables, nuclear, other) Energy demand by sector split by fuel (delivered) (suggested sectors are energy industries, industry, commercial or tertiary, residential and transport) Assumptions on weather parameters, especially heating or cooling degree days

The share of the industrial sector in GDP and growth rate

For Member States using other models:

The production index for industrial sector (suggested split is energy intensive industry based on physical production and manufacturing industry based on monetary value)

For Member States using macroeconomic models:

The growth of transport relative to GDP

For Member States using other models:

The growth of passenger person kilometres The growth of freight tonne kilometres

For Member States using macroeconomic models:

The level of private consumption (excluding private transport) The share of the tertiary sector in GDP and the growth rate

For Member States using other models:

The rate of change of floor space for tertiary buildings and dwellings The number of dwellings and number of employees in the tertiary sector

For Member States using macroeconomic models:

The share of the agriculture sector in GDP and relative growth

For Member States using other models:

Waste generation per head of population or tonnes of municipal solid waste The organic fractions of municipal solid waste Municipal solid waste disposed to landfills, incinerated or composted (in tonnes or %)

Forest definitions Areas of: managed forests unmanaged forests

GDP growth rates split by industrial sectors in relation to 2000 Comparison projected data with official forecasts

National coal, oil and gas energy prices per sector (including taxes) — suggested sectors are electricity and heat generation, industry, commercial, residential and transport. Constant prices should be quoted National electricity prices per sector as above (may be model output) Total production of district heating by fuel type

Assumptions fluorinated gases: Aluminium production and emissions factors Magnesium production and emissions factors Foam production and emissions factors Stock of refrigerant and leakage rates

For Member States using macroeconomic models:

Share of GDP for different sectors and growth rates Rate of improvement of energy intensity (1990 = 100)

For Member States using other models:

Index of production for different sectors Rate of improvement or index of energy efficiency

For Member States using macroeconomic models:

Share of tertiary and household sectors in GDP Rate of improvement of energy intensity

For Member States using other models:

Number of households Number of new buildings Rate of improvement of energy efficiency (1990 = 100)

For Member States using econometric models:

Growth of transport relative to GDP — split by passenger and freight Improvements in energy efficiency — split by vehicle type Improvements in energy efficiency — split by vehicle type, specify whether it applies to whole fleet or new cars Rate of change of modal split (passenger and freight) The growth of passenger road kilometres The growth of passenger rail kilometres The growth of passenger aviation kilometres The growth of freight tonne kilometres on the road The growth of freight tonne kilometres by rail The growth of freight tonne kilometres by navigation

For Member States using econometric models:

Agricultural trade (import/export) Domestic consumption (e.g. milk/beef consumption)

For Member States using other models:

Development of area of crops, grassland, arable, set-aside, conversion to forests etc Macroeconomic assumptions behind projections of agricultural activity Description of livestock (e.g. by input/nutrient balance, output/animal production, milk production quota/productivity of cattle) Development of farming types (e.g. intensive conventional, organic farming) Distribution of housing/grazing systems and housing/grazing period Parameters of fertiliser regime: Details of fertiliser use (type of fertiliser, timing of application, inorganic/organic ratio); Volatilisation rate of ammonia, following spreading of manure on the soil; Efficiency of manure use. Parameters of manure management system: Distribution of storage facilities (e.g. with or without cover): Nitrogen excretion rate of manures Methods of application of manure Extent of introduction of control measures (storage systems, manure application), use of best available techniques Parameters related to nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils (e.g., Nitrogen leaching fraction, emission factor for direct emissions, Nitrogen content in crop residues) Amount of manure treatment
