7 Time extension - state of play (PM10) 329 zones in exceedance in MS affected by exceedances Ireland, Finland and Luxemburg in compliance Lithuania winter sanding/salting (2007) 18 MS notified to date, 308 zones (may not include all their zones in exceedance) Estonia, Malta, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden have not notified Decisions taken for 13 MS (NL, AT, BE, DE, DK, EL, ES, FR, HU, SK CZ, LV, IT), Further decisions in autumn, up to January 2009 ( PT, DE, ES, PL, UK, BG, CY, IT)
8 Time extension - state of play (NO 2 ) 240 zones in exceedance in 2007 (57 zones in exceedance of LV and 183 of LV+MOT) 22 MS affected by exceedances Cyprus, Estonia, Ireland, Lithuania and Slovenia were in compliance in MS notified to date NL (9 zones) and CZ (1 zone) Decisions taken for 2 MS NO 2 wave expected in 2010, additional discussion in WG Time extension and Workshop in preparation
9 Time extension - assessment Assessment 1st condition Source apportionment First occurrence of an exceedance triggering abatement action pursuant to Directive 1999/30/EC The relevance of the measures taken in relation to the identified sources The impact of the external factors, such as transboundary contributions
10 Time extension - assessment Assessment 2nd condition Criteria as defined in COM(2008)403 or equivalent Generally well substantiated More details are needed when other indicators/criteria are used than those in the Communication
11 Time extension - assessment Assessment 3rd condition Source apportionment Projected concentration levels at the expiry of the exemption period Estimated impact of additional measures Air quality plan accompanying the notification
12 Time extension - Exemptions Exemptions apply until 10 June 2011 Air quality zones delimitation reference year Annual air quality report shall include Information on compliance with limit values plus margin of tolerance from specific information about the exceedance situations to confirm compliance
13 Time extension - Grounds for objections The Member State has not fully demonstrated that the conditions in Article 22 are satisfied has not satisfied one or more of the conditions is already complying with the limit values
14 Time extension Summing up No objection: 25 zones are exempt from applying the daily PM10 limit value (NL, AT, DE, HU, IT, CZ). 4 zones are exempt from applying the annual PM10 limit value but not the daily (HU, IT). Objections raised in respect of AT, BE, DK, EL, ES, FR, HU, SK, IT, CZ, LV as follows: 1st condition: 35 zones because the condition is not satisfied in 7 zones, and not sufficiently substantiated in 28 zones; 2nd condition: 57 zones because the condition is not satisfied in 4 zones, and not sufficiently substantiated in 53 zones; 3rd condition: 126 zones because the condition is not satisfied in 4 zones, and not sufficiently substantiated in 122 zones Compliance has been achieved in 46 zones 29 zones comply with the annual limit value 17 zones comply with the daily limit value
15 Time extension - Objections - consequences Infringement proceedings to be launched if limit values are exceeded New notification possible? Yes! - if the new notification contains: Clear and unambiguous indication of the new information If necessary, justification of why this information was not available earlier
16 Time extension First impression Significant effort in planning and managing air quality especially in recent years Often the formal status of air quality plan, funding for identified measures not clear Limited information on reflection why compliance was not achieved by 2005 Quantification of projected impact of measures often missing, this hamper reliable projection of air quality levels In few cases: info on short term action, coherence with climate, noise policy No information on IPPC application of Article 10 No specific measures addressing vulnerable population
17 New Guidance Under the New air quality directive several guidance documents have to be published in order to facilitate the implementation process Guidelines for demonstration and subtraction of exceedances attributable to natural sources - Art 20 (3) Guidelines for determination of contributions from the re-suspension of particulate following winter sanding or -salting or roads Art 21(5) Guidelines for the agreements on setting up common measuring stations for PM2.5 measurement at rural background station Art 6(5) Guidance on the demonstration of equivalence
18 Guidance on the quantification of the contribution of natural sources JRC Workshop + report on Contribution of natural sources to air pollution levels in the EU Six key principles Natural contributions must have natural origin and be due to a natural event. (A non-exhaustive list of sources of which contributions can be eligible for subtraction is proposed) Quantification of the natural contribution must be sufficiently precise and accurate. Quantification of the natural contribution must be consistent to the averaging period of the limit value. Quantification of the natural sources must be spatially described. Contributions must be demonstrated in a process of systematic assessment. Quantification of the natural sources must be demonstrated for each pollutant separately.
19 Guidance on assessing the contribution of wintersanding and salting based on the results of a study conducted by the Umweltbundesamt of Austria for the European Commission (Spangl et al., 2009) 5 key principles Contributions must be attributed unequivocally to winter-sanding or - salting activities Quantification must be sufficiently precise and accurate and appropriate to the averaging period of the limit value Spatial representativeness of the affected monitoring station shall be defined The contribution of winter-sanding or -salting to the measured PM10 concentration has to be quantified in µg/m³ for each exceedance day The method to determine this contribution has to be documented
20 Guidance on common measuring stations for PM2.5 at rural background This guidance has been drafted on the results of a study conducted by the Umweltbundesamt of Austria under a contract with the European Commission. metodology Identify the large-scale representative areas covering the territory. Calculate the required number of stations. Identify existing stations (e.g. EMEP sites) or potential new locations which fulfill the criteria for rural background sites with the objective to maximize the number of covered different representative (i.e. climatic) areas and also to cover the maximum percentage of the Member State s territory. Find agreement with neighbouring Member States for appropriate common monitoring stations.
21 Guidance on demonstration of equivalence guide to the demonstration of equivalence of ambient air monitoring methods Document produced by the EC Working Group on Demonstration of Equivalence. assess the ambient air quality in Member States on the basis of common methods and criteria. Definition of equivalence An equivalent method to the reference method for the measurement of a specified air pollutant, is a method meeting the data quality objectives for fixed measurements specified in the relevant air quality directive The document is available at the EC web site
22 Conclusion Implementation of directive 2008/50/EC is following the scheduled agenda PM10 time extension and enforcement in full swing Resource intensive for both sides EC and MSs Some work remains to be done in many Member States there are some weak points in the air quality management, Impact of planned air quality measures is often unknown this hamper reliable projection of air quality levels. positive feedback received increasing awareness of the need to take action widespread will to improve the tools used for air quality management the quality of the plans has improved significantly compared to those communicated to the Commission in previous years
