Summary:This report was announced in 1992 when Council Directive 92/72/EEC - also known as the Council Directive on Air Pollution by Ozone - was issued. The report analyses the information and data reported to the Commission in the framework of this Directive in 1994, 1995 and 1996. In addition much information, data and models from the UNECE-CLRTAP, EUROTRAC and DG XII programmes were used. The Ozone Directive sets concentration thresholds, established a harmonised procedure for monitoring and for exchanging data and it specified requirements to inform and warn the population if necessary. A second and third guiding principle for the current report were the fifth Environment Action Programme (5th EAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines. The 5EAP expresses the aim of non-exceedance of threshold and emission reduction targets for ozone precursors. The WHO guidelines are of importance because the 5EAP states that "WHO values [should] become mandatory at EC level not later than 1998". |
