Air quality: improvement of comparability and transparency at European level (reduction of emissions)

In adopting the recommendation for second reading by Mrs Anita POLLACK (PSE, UK) on the common position establishing a reciprocal exchange of information and data measuring ambient air pollution within the Member States, Parliament considered that the data collected by the Commission on ambient air pollution within the Member States should be made available to the public on request. It also called on the Commission to prepare a general report for public consumption summarizing the collected data and outlining the underlying trends in air quality in the European Union. �
