Exact wording found: Verbatim wording read on the live EEA page (published 29 Jan 2025, modified 29 Jul 2025) and in the EEA's fixed copies of 3 Feb 2025 and 26 Nov 2025: identical.

Note: Every EEA share reproduced to two decimals from the Commission database (2022 values used for 'to be confirmed' measures; GDP from the database, Enerdata via IMF and World Bank). With Eurostat GDP as of 6 Oct 2026 (which the EEA could not have had): Malta 3.03%, Poland 2.08%, Slovakia 1.49%. Malta's 2023 amount is 96% one line (EUR 580m, Enemalta compensation), 2.1 times the IMF's and 1.7 times the Government's 2023 cost of energy support; not reconciled.. CC-113, Climate & Energy; verdict so far: Largely supported (draft, no right of reply needed).

Note: COM(2025) 17 (28 Jan 2025) read from the EU Publications Office (Cellar). Its Figure 16, measured by pixel, gives Malta 3.37%, Poland 2.09%, Slovakia 1.51%, Croatia 1.15% (the top ten bars match the CIRCABC file to 0.001 points); the CIRCABC file was modified on 9 Apr 2025, after the report, so for those countries the values we rebuilt are those of 28 Jan 2025. Eurostat nrg_cb_e: Malta imported 648 of 2,992 GWh (21.7%) of its 2023 electricity supply, while the database books the Enemalta line wholly to natural gas; leaving out only the import share gives 2.70%, still first.. CC-113, Climate & Energy; verdict so far: Largely supported (draft, no right of reply needed).

Note: Licence: the Commission workbook's own notice says (c) Enerdata, reproduction and diffusion prohibited without written permission. Measure-level extracts removed from the repository; only country totals, the GDP series and five Malta figures are kept, and fetch.py rebuilds the rest locally after a SHA-256 check. Review fixes applied before first issue: variants C and D labelled a lower bound; the EUR 580m line is booked as actual costs (only the EUR 28.2m excise cut is to be confirmed); 2022 and 2024 comparisons with the Government and IMF added; title now says relative to GDP..

Check started: Check started in the maintainer session. EEA burden-of-disease table downloaded through the EEA Table publisher (Malta, every scenario; all countries; EU-27); Eurostat sdg_11_52, demo_pjan, demo_magec, hlth_cd_aro and env_air_emis downloaded with flags; all 30 Malta PM2.5 and PM10 station files downloaded from the EEA download service..

Exact wording found: Verbatim wording read in the quick-facts page HTML (page modified 1 Dec 2025); it matches the maintainer's primary-source.md word for word. Record text and title restated from the EEA's wording: it gives a rate, and the number of deaths fell by about half, so the title is now 'PM2.5 death rate down two-thirds'..

Note: Research added after review, before the first issue: ETC HE 2025/5 pp. 74-77, 108 and 118 and ETC/ATNI 2020/1 Table A.1 reread (the maps are not one method: updated PM2.5 method only from 2017, old and updated versions of 2005, EMEP to CAMS from 2020, pseudo stations still used in 2023; the 2005 map was built from background and traffic stations only); EEA station metadata downloaded (station types and instruments); PM10 trends at Msida and Żejtun and an indicative 2005 PM2.5 estimate from 2005 PM10 and 2007 PM2.5/PM10 ratios added; Crossref confirms a corrigendum to Scerri et al. (not read). The stations are now presented as evidence that PM2.5 fell, not as a check of the map.. CC-035, Air; verdict so far: Largely supported (draft, no right of reply needed).
