1. What is the national target for greenhouse gas emissions, if any, in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2020? What is the political and legal status of the target? Specify by GHG.
 

2. a) Given current trends and policies that you consider very likely to be implemented within the next two years, what is your best assessment of likely emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (methane, nitrous oxide, HFCs, and PFCs) in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2020? Based on this data, is the country likely to meet its stated targets (question 1)? If not, please explain.

b) Please provide national emissions for 1990 from the official inventory and data on the most recent year available (1995 if possible).

c) Does the government intend to use the "basket" approach (adding all greenhouse gases together using Global Warming Potentials) in meeting emission reduction targets? If so, what fraction of expected emission reductions come from gases other than carbon dioxide?

d) Does the government intend to use the "net" approach (subtracting sinks from emissions) in meeting emission reduction targets? If so, what fraction of expected emission reductions come from enhancing sinks?
 

3. What policies and measures have been adopted or are under serious consideration for reducing GHG (specifically CO2) emissions from the transport sector? In particular, describe policies and measures aimed at:

a) Increasing the fuel efficiency of automobiles, including policies and measures aimed at developing and introducing advanced vehicles that would represent a dramatic departure from conventional internal combustion gasoline automobiles as well as policies and measures promoting the use of advanced automotive fuels, including natural gas, renewable biofuels, electricity, and hydrogen.

b) Promoting the use of public transport, in urban areas, in rural areas and on long-distance connections.

c) Controling road freight transport.
 

4. What policies and measures have been adopted or are under serious consideration for increasing end-use energy efficiency in e.g. appliances, buildings and industry, such as voluntary programs, efficiency targets, economic incentives, labelling and mandatory efficiency standards? 
 

5. a) What policies and measures have been adopted or are under serious consideration for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electric power sector, especially production and distribution? 

b) Is the concept of Integrated Resource Planning/Demand Side Management reflected in your national power sector policy? Are potential investments in
electricity supply, distribution, combined heat and power, and end-use efficiency considered on an equal basis?
 

6. a) What policies and measures have been adopted or are under serious consideration for promoting research, development, demonstration, and commercial application of renewable energy technologies and for shifting support away from research, development, demonstration and commercial application of fossil-fuel and nuclear energy sources?

b) is there a target for the % of energy provided by renewables?
 

7. What policies and measures have been adopted or are under serious consideration for establishing cross-sectoral economic incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as ecological tax reform (specifically CO2/energy tax), subsidy reform (including reduction of direct and indirect subsidies to fossil fuels and nuclear energy), and cap-and-trade systems?
 

8) a) Does your country have any policies to influence international lending and financial mechanisms so that their policies are more consistent with climate protection?

b) What does your country contribute to the GEF for climate activities and what to the Climate Convention secretariat?
 

9. What policies and measures have been adopted or are under serious consideration for reducing emissions of gases other than carbon dioxide (methane, nitrous oxide, HFCs, and PFCs)? 
 

10. Are there any particularly effective or innovative policies and measures that have been adopted or are under serious consideration that could be replicated in other countries (e.g. on public awareness building)?
