Croatia joined the EU in mid-2013, therefore for the years 2010 to 2013 emissions and ceilings are not considered for this country. Greece and Malta did not report data in 2018, therefore the aggregated EU emissions are incomplete. The distance to ceilings was calculated based on unadjusted emissions. The aggregated EU emissions for mobile sources are calculated based on data on fuel sold for all Member States.

Methodology:

The distance to ceilings was calculated based on unadjusted emissions.

The NECD does not include 2010 ceilings for PM2.5. The EU's 2020 and 2030 reduction commitments are calculated relative to 2005 base year emissions.

For complying with the 2020 and 2030 reduction commitments, Member States can subtract NOx and NMVOC emissions from two main agricultural activities, manure management and agricultural soils. The magnitude of these emission sources is indicated by the top part of the NOx and NMVOC columns. Thus only the lower part of the NOx and NMVOC columns should be considered for comparing with the 2020 and 2030 reduction commitments.

Europe's seas The present layer compiles the marine regions and subregions listed in Article 4 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), together with other surrounding seas of Europe. The MSFD marine regions and subregions map was developed to support DG Environment and EU Member States in their implementation of the MSFD. It represents the current state of understanding of the marine regions and subregions and is subject to amendment in light of any new information which may be produced.

NEC Directive reporting status 2017 - The need to reduce air pollution in Europe Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe, and can cause respiratory problems and shorten lifespans. It also contributes to the acidification of soil and surface water, causes eutrophication in sensitive habitats and can damage vegetation through exposure to ozone (EEA, 2016).
