This report presents an overview of the progress achieved so far by the EU, its Member States and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and the EU burden-sharing agreement. The assessment is based on greenhouse gas emission data in Europe for 2008,...

The EU‑15 is making good progress towards its common Kyoto target. Five EU‑15 Member States (France, Germany, Greece, Sweden and the United Kingdom) have already achieved average GHG emission levels below their Kyoto target.

Summary of a draft report to the European Commission giving a preliminary evaluation of ozone pollution across Europe in spring and summer 2003. The report is based on data provided up to 15 September by countries in the framework of Council Directive 92/72/EEC on air pollution by ozone.

In summer 2004, the levels of ground-level ozone were high in southern Europe with widespread exceedances of the information threshold value (180 µg/m3), as laid down in the ozone directive (2002/3/EC). The exceedances of the information threshold were similar to earlier years, except for...

In summer of 2005 levels of ground-level ozone were high in southern Europe with widespread exceedances of the information threshold value (180 micro g/m3) laid down in the ozone directive (2002/3/EC). The frequency of exceedances of the information threshold was similar to earlier years, except...

In summer 2006, levels of ground-level ozone were high in southern Europe and north-western Europe, with widespread exceedances of the information threshold value (180 μg/m3, Directive 2002/3/EC). The frequency of these exceedances was higher than those in previous years, though not as high as...

The latest projections from pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15) show that the EU-15 can meet, and may even overachieve, its 2008u00962012 Kyoto target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 8 % below 1990 levels if Member States implement now all additional policies being planned. Based on Member...

This report presents an assessment of the current and projected progress of EU Member States, EU candidate countries and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and of progress towards the EU target for 2020. This is based on their past greenhouse gas...

Ozone levels during the summer of 2007 were among the lowest in the past decade.. The number and spatial extent of exceedances was lower than in any of the last ten summers. In contrast to the summer of 2006, no exceedances of the information threshold value (180 microgram/m3, Directive...

This report gives an overview of reported ground-level ozone concentrations between April and September 2008, and provides a comparison with the last ten years.
