The 2006 IPCC Guidelines provide guidance for inventory compilation only. On the other side, reporting requirements are decided by Parties under the UNFCCC process. As per the guidelines for the preparation of national communications contained in decision 17/CP.8, there is no explicit requirement for developing countries to include comprehensive CTF tables as an annex.  However, the situation is slightly different for reporting biennial transparency reports under the enhanced transparency framework. Parties are expected to report national inventory document and common reporting tables. Currently, Parties are still negotiating common reporting tables for inventory submissions under the SBSTA. This negotiation should be concluded by COP 26.
