1. Introduction
One of the primary goals of the inventory
development is to work continually to improve emission
estimates. One of the most important tasks is to develop a
comprehensive and unified approach to managing quality in
the inventory estimates including methodological advances,
improvements in documentation and clarity to facilitate
transparency. Quality control (QC) and quality assurance
(QA) should all be integrated into one comprehensive
greenhouse gas inventory system. This paper is intended to
facilitate QA/QC activities for Europe/CIS region c
