Implementation of EU <strong>air</strong> <strong>quality</strong><br />

policy and preparation for its<br />

comprehensive review<br />

European Environment Agency


Commissioner Potočnik invited DG ENV and<br />

the EEA to come forward with a paper on an<br />

enhanced EEA role in support of EU<br />

environment policy implementation, by e.g<br />

way of pilots on Air Quality and Waste<br />

European Environment Agency


‘We do need to strengthen our knowledge base on<br />

implementation. We cannot continue to have a situation on<br />

implementation where the Commission and Member States<br />

are looking at different data. We both need a body we trust<br />

to provide us with accurate data and state of the art,<br />

science-based <strong>assessments</strong>. We need an independent assessor<br />

if needed. This neutral and common information base for<br />

compliance monitoring should in my view be provided by the<br />

Agency. I suggest we develop a joint analysis of what such a<br />

reinforced role would imply, on the basis of one or two pilot<br />

cases e.g. on waste and on <strong>air</strong>. We need to start this process<br />

as soon as possible and I will be looking forward to develop<br />

it together with you’. Commissioner Potočnik<br />

European Environment Agency


Workshop goal:<br />

Mutually benefit from exchanging information on:<br />

-<strong>air</strong> <strong>quality</strong> policy developments<br />

-<strong>air</strong> <strong>quality</strong> <strong>assessments</strong> (incl. on supporting the <strong>assessments</strong><br />

through the use of GMES atmospheric services)<br />

-<strong>air</strong> <strong>quality</strong> data and reporting<br />

Explore options where we can strengthen further our<br />

collaboration<br />
