evaluating progress towards meeting commitments in respect of these emissions by sources and removals by sinks
implementing the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol, as regards national programmes, greenhouse gas inventories, national systems and registries of the Community and its Member States, and the relevant procedures under the Kyoto Protocol; and
