The quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedure is an element of the QA/QC programme of the Union system for policies and measures and projections to be established in 2021 according to Article 39 of the Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (EU) 2018/1999. The European Environment Agency (EEA) is responsible for the annual implementation of the QA/QC procedures and is assisted by the European Topic Centre on Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME). The QA/QC procedure document describes QA/QC checks carried out at EU level on the national reported projections from Member States and on the compiled Union GHG projections. QA/QC procedures are performed at several different stages during the preparation of the national and Union GHG projections in order to aim to ensure the timeliness, transparency, accuracy, consistency, comparability and completeness of the reported information.

Member States have to report every two years on their national greenhouse gas policies and measures. In 2021, EU Member States reported a total of 2 052 expired, existing and planned policies and measures. This is again a marked increase in the number of policies and measures reported by Member States, that partially can be explained by the implementation of the National Energy and Climate Plans. Quantitative evidence on the effectiveness and costs and benefits of these measures remains insufficiently reported.
