17th EIONET Air Quality workshop
The main focus this year will be the implementation and the review of the European Union’s air quality legislation. The Commission Implementing Decision of 12 December 2011 lays down the rules for Directives 2004/107/EC and 2008/50/EC. One main objective of the workshop is to inform the EIONET Air Quality Community about the progress and experiences with a new electronic (e-reporting) system to report measured and modelled air quality data. The Commission has established a group of countries to support the transition to the new e-reporting system, which is under development at EEA and involves in 2012 15 EU Member States in a pilot testing phase (http://www.eionet.europa.eu/aqportal/intro). The other main focus of the workshop is the implementation of the EU air quality legislation on the local level (cities). In June 2011, Commissioner Potočnik invited the European Commission’s Directorate General for Environment (DG ENV) and the EEA to explore an enhanced EEA role in support of EU environment policy implementation, by way of pilots on air and waste. The so-called Air Implementation Pilot has subsequently been established, a joint DG ENV and EEA project. At the workshop we wish to inform the Community about the status of the project and discuss first results of the initiative (http://projects.eionet.europa.eu/air-implementation-pilot/.).
