Resorni odjel A odborima kojima pruža podršku – ECON, EMPL, ENVI, ITRE i IMCO – stavlja na raspolaganje visokokvalitetna stručna mišljenja, najnovije analize i neovisna istraživanja. Naglasak je ove brošure na uslugama koje Resorni odjel pruža odboru ENVI.

Air quality monitoring at fixed sites is a major instrument provided for in the Ambient Air Quality Directive to check compliance with limit or target values, which have been set for the protection of human health. This study analyses the criteria for the location of monitoring sites in five Member States to identify ambiguous provisions that might lead to different assessments of air pollution exposure.

In view of the 24th Conference of the Parties (COP24) under the United Nations Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) in Katowice, Poland, in December 2018, the study by Neier et al. 2018 provides an overview of the current state of play of International Climate Negotiations. While it introduces the UNFCCC, its bodies and key terms, as well as milestones and key players in international climate negotiations, it summarises the negotiation process under the UNFCCC, related international developments as ...

Europska politika zaštite okoliša temelji se na načelima opreznosti, preventivnog djelovanja i uklanjanja onečišćenja na samom izvoru, kao i na načelu „onečišćivač plaća”. Višegodišnji programi djelovanja za okoliš okvir su za buduće aktivnosti u cjelokupnoj politici zaštite okoliša. Oni su sastavni dio horizontalnih strategija te se uzimaju u obzir prilikom međunarodnih pregovora na temu okoliša. Ključnu ulogu ima i sama provedba.

Onečišćenje zraka šteti našem zdravlju i okolišu. To onečišćenje uglavnom potječe od industrije, prometa, proizvodnje energije i poljoprivrede. Strategijom EU-a za kvalitetu zraka nastoji se ostvariti puno poštovanje postojećeg zakonodavstva o kvaliteti zraka do 2020., a u njoj se navode i dugoročni ciljevi za 2030. godinu. Direktivom o buci iz okoliša pomaže se utvrditi razine buke u EU-u i poduzeti potrebne mjere da ih se spusti na prihvatljive razine. Zasebnim se zakonodavstvom uređuje emisija ...

Na Konferenciji o klimatskim promjenama održanoj u Parizu u prosincu 2015., stranke iz cijelog svijeta postigle su sporazum o ograničenju globalnog zatopljenja na razini znatno ispod 2 ºC iznad razina iz predindustrijskoga doba. EU se obvezao da će do 2030. smanjiti emisije stakleničkih plinova za najmanje 40% ispod razina iz 1990. i istodobno povećati energetsku učinkovitost za 27% kao i udio obnovljivih izvora energije u ukupnoj potrošnji na 27%. Sustav trgovanja emisijama stakleničkih plinova ...

This study was commissioned by Policy Department A at the request of the committee of inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (EMIS). It provides a comparative study on the differences between the EU and US legislation on emissions in the automotive sector, covering the emissions standards themselves; the systems for their implementation and enforcement, including approval systems for vehicles; and the respective regimes for prohibiting the use of defeat devices.

This study looks at the discrepancy in NOx emissions between type-approval tests and real-world driving. It examines the legal stakeholder obligations with regard to emission measurements in the European type-approval process and offers insights into the practical implementation of type-approval procedures throughout the EU. This study was provided by Policy Department A at the request of the Committee of Inquiry into Emission Measurements in the Automotive Sector (EMIS).

Study in focus: The study summarises the developments leading to the adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2015 and provides an overview of its contents. The further implementation process and the roles of the main Parties and other stakeholders are discussed, as well as related international developments and the challenges of the climate change conference in Marrakesh (COP 22) from 7 to 18 November 2016.

Exposure to elevated air pollution levels has substantial negative impacts on human health and the environment. The main pollutants are particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3). The Ambient Air Quality Directive therefore sets limit and target values for the concentration of air pollutants. Thresholds for particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide are exceeded in several Member States.
