Air quality reporting in transition:

- AQ data flows interconnected helps experts and data operators in the MS to collaborate...

- AQ e-Reporting schema one data model, common XML format for exchanging the air quality data!

- improved and extended data services

Consequences/opportunities:

Transition to e-Reporting and the new process flows at the EEA

- ... and where is the EEA in implementing the e-Reporting?

Air quality reporting in transition:

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 12 December 2011 laying down rules for Directives 2004/107/EC and 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the reciprocal exchange of information and reporting on ambient air quality (notified under document C(2011) 9068)(2011/850/EU):

• Data flow B: air quality management zones• Data flow C: assessment regimes for zones (sampling points within zones)• Data flow D: sampling points, stations, measurement methods (processes), etc.• Data flow E1a: primary validated measurements• Data flow E1b: primary modelling results• Data flow E2: primary up-to-date measurements• Data flow F1a: aggregated, validated measurements• Data flow F1b: aggregated modelling results• Data flow F2: aggregated, up-to-date measurements• Data flow G: attainment (aggregation within zones, approved by MS)• Data flow H: air quality plans• Data flow I: source apportionment• Data flow J: scenario for the attainment year• Data flow K: measures
