ANNEX V Questionnaire on the use of the Kyoto Protocol mechanisms in meeting the 2008-2012 targets 1. Does your Member State intend to use joint implementation (JI), the clean development mechanism (CDM) and international emissions trading (IET) under the Kyoto Protocol (the Kyoto mechanisms) to meet its quantified emission limitation or reduction commitment pursuant to Article 2 of Decision 2002/358/EC and the Kyoto Protocol? If so, what progress has been made with the implementing provisions (operational programmes, institutional decisions) and any related domestic legislation? 2. Has your Member State established and notified to the UNFCCC a designated national authority for clean development mechanism projects and a designated focal point for joint implementation projects? If so, please provide details. 3. Which of the three Kyoto mechanisms is your Member State using or does it plan to use? 4. What quantitative contributions to the fulfilment of the quantified emission limitation or reduction commitment pursuant to Article 2 of Decision 2002/358/EC and the Kyoto Protocol does your Member State expect from the Kyoto mechanisms during the first quantified emission limitation and reduction commitment period, from 2008 to 2012 (please use Table 1)? TABLE 1 Quantitative contribution of Kyoto mechanisms for the first commitment period Kyoto mechanism Total projected quantities for the first commitment period (Gg CO 2 equivalent) Total for all Kyoto mechanisms ( *1 ) International emissions trading All project based activities joint implementation clean development mechanism 5. Specify the budget in euro for the total use of the Kyoto mechanisms and, where possible, per mechanism and initiative, programme or fund, including the time over which the budget will be spent. 6. With which countries has your Member State closed bilateral or multilateral agreements, or agreed memorandums of understanding or contracts for the implementation of project based activities? 7. For each planned, ongoing and completed clean development mechanism and joint implementation project activity in which your Member State participates, provide the following information: (a) Project title and category (JI/CDM) (b) Host country (c) Financing: give a brief description of any financial involvement of the government and the private sector, using categories such as ‘private’, ‘public’, ‘public-private partnership’. (d) Project type: use a short description, for example: Energy and power : Fuel-switching, renewable energy generation, improving energy efficiency, reduction of fugitive emissions from fuels, other (please specify) Industrial processes : Material substitution, process or equipment change, waste treatment, recovery or recycling, other (please specify) Land use, land-use change and forestry : Afforestation, reforestation, forest management, cropland management, grazing land management, revegetation Transport : Fuel-switching, improving fuel efficiency, other (please specify) Agriculture : Manure management, other (please specify) Waste : Solid-waste management, landfill methane recovery, waste-water management, other (please specify) Other : Please provide a short description of the other project type (e) Status: use the following categories: — Proposed, — approved (approval of governments involved and feasibility studies completed), — under construction (start-up or construction phase), — in operation, — completed, — suspended. (f) Lifetime: provide the following information: — date of official approval (e.g. of the Executive Board for clean development mechanism projects, of the host country for joint implementation projects), — date of project initiation (operation starts), — expected date of project termination (lifetime), — crediting period (for what years will ERUs or CERs be generated), — date(s) of issue of emission reduction units (ERUs) (by host country) or certified emission reductions (CERs) (by CDM executive board). (g) First or second track approval procedure (For joint implementation projects only). (h) Projected total and annual emissions reductions that accrue until the end of the first commitment period. (i) Amount of ERUs or CERS generated by the project that will be acquired by the Member State. (j) Credits accrued until the end of reporting year: provide information on the number of credits (total and annual) obtained from joint implementation projects, clean development projects and credits resulting from land use, land-use change and forestry activities.
