  Glossary

The European PRTR is the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register - the European-wide register of industrial and non-industrial releases into air, water, land and off-site transfers of waste water and waste including information from point and diffuse sources.

According to Article 8 of the European PRTR Regulation the register shall contain information on releases from diffuse sources where such information exists and has already been reported by the Member States.

This website gives you access to information on the annual releases from diffuse source sectors from all 25 EU Member States as far as data are available - mostly for the year 2003. For more information read Background to European PRTR and Questions to European PRTR.

Data are represented on this webpage so that you can easily:

• get an overview on data availability and annual totals by sector and pollutant within the European Community
• find detailed information on releases from diffuse sources within the Member States by pollutant and sector
• find information on releases into river basins
• identify gaps in reporting of releases from diffuse sources

Additionally you can find background information to the European PRTR, downloads for related documents, links to relevant Institution and Organisation and results of the data evaluation.
