Reporting “Plans or programmes” to meet the limit values in time (1)
• Summaries of PPs have to be sent to Commission within 2 years after year when zone was above LV+MOT.
• Reporting template under Decision 2004/224/EC • All EU15 except one have sent PPs to the
Commission on 2001 and/or 2002.
• For new Member States no obligation yet.
17-18 October 200510th EIONET Workshop Vilnius 5
Reporting “Plans or programmes” to meet the limit values in time (2)
• In total about 120 PPs received. (One PP can
cover more than one exceedance situations.)
• LV+MOT is decreasing more PPs to be
expected.
• A consultancy study to analyse the PPs in
depth will start soon.

Main elements of questionnaire (DD1 and DD2)• Zone designation
• List of zones exceeding LV or LV+MOT• List of zones exceeding UAT or LAT• List of individual exceedances (annual, daily, hourly) +
reason of each exceedance
• For zones with derogation:• SO2 natural sources• PM10 natural events and winter sanding• Lead: ‘specific sources’• Benzene: Article 3(2) extension period
• List of stations and measurement methods
• Statistics 24 hour PM2.5
• Statistics 10 minutes SO2
• Results of Suppl. Assessment: maps and/or spatial statistics
• Exceedances under old AQ directives

Quality of submissions
• Unprotected Excel format was chosen for flexibility
(and low development costs); but errors are not
rejected.• Many trivial errors, which we could correct by hand• Substantial number of non-trivial errors; several
important mandatory data (e.g. station identification)
missing for some MSs• Some voluntary data are needed for evaluation, but
have not been filled in by all MSs, e.g.• exceedance of Upper Assessment Threshold,• population in zones.

EU-wide zone map is needed• For presentation of air quality information by
Commission and EEA, an EU-wide zone map is needed.
• Half of the EU15 Member States have sent digital zone border coordinates:• as border polygones or• as GIS files.But hard to rework to a consistent EU map!
• Consistency of zone borders between Member States is important; proposal for exchange to be developed soon.

Maps and spatial statistics
• Voluntary reporting per zone: how much of area / street
length / population / ecosystem is above limit values?
• One MSs (CZ) sent this for all zones and all pollutants,
4 MSs sent this partially, the other not.
17-18 October 200510th EIONET Workshop Vilnius 37
Concluding remarks• Report on 2001-2003 to be published soon.• Too many (large and small) inconsistencies in MSs’
reports processing is cumbersome and time
consuming• All FWD stations must also be reported under EoI as
well, including EoI station code for identification!• Voluntary status of certain data makes compliance
checking partially impossible• Today still limited use of modelling for compliance
checking
