1. Second Stakeholder Expert Group meeting 19-20/01/2012
Work planning for the review process
Scott Brockett
Unit, Industrial Emissions, Air Quality and Noise

2. Objectives
6EAP objective (2002) ‘to attain levels of air quality that do not give rise to significant negative impacts on, or risks to, human health and the environment’
Europe 2020 objectives
Maximising climate co-benefits
Integrated assessment modelling
Baseline includes climate measures
Climate impact of action on air pollutants (ozone, BC/EC, NOx, SO2), biomass combustion integrated into analysis
Research review will examine co-benefits, tradeoffs, AQ impact of climate change
Stimulating innovation
Identify key contributing sectors and scope for reduction; integrate into EU innovation programmes
Resource efficiency
Mobility, construction, food 2

3. Translating objectives into standards
Magnitude of the air quality health and ecosystem problems in Europe
Update of health pollutants and their effects – WHO (research review)
Ecosystem effects – EMEP/WGE
Current and projected concentrations/depositions – EEA, ENV pollutant contracts, IIASA
Health and environmental outcomes – IIASA, CCE
Level of protection implied by current standards
Prospects for compliance 2020, 2025, 2030 – IIASA, ENV contracts
Extent of gap closure represented - IIASA
Adjustments needed
Simplification and focus (gaps (e.g. ecosystems), rationalisation, health relevance) – WHO, ENV contracts
Ambition – IIASA (costs and benefits (including climate change implications), timescales, measures)
Flexibility (nature of standards, derogations) – ENV contracts 3

4. Measures
Hemispheric, regional, national/local burden of pollution – IIASA, JRC, HTAP contract, ENV pollutant contracts
Cost-effective control options and impacts
EU level
NEC Directive emission ceilings
Measures on road, non-road, shipping (technical controls, structural changes)
Measures on combustion (IED, small-scale combustion), other IED sectors
Measures on agriculture
International level
Hemispheric or even global control requirements
Available international initiatives
National and local level
Database of measures - PM workshop, ENV pollutant contracts
Integrate into ongoing initiatives, outline additions 4

5. Management framework Monitoring siting and density
Review of MS networks – ENV pollutant contracts, EEA
Develop and assess options for further macro and micro siting criteria, adjustment of compliance reporting, co-ordination with EMEP, reference techniques – AQUILA
Modelling
Review of modelling practices in the MSs – ENV, FAIRMODE
Develop and assess options for criteria on input quality (emission inventories), output resolution, etc – FAIRMODE
Develop options for use in compliance assessment
Assessment – averaging over three years, reporting for area of representativeness – ENV pollutant contracts
Management
Sensitive groups, Art 23 Action plans – ENV pollutant contracts
Short-term action plans – specific ENV contract
Public information
Review use of AQ indices and develop options 5

6. Next steps Planning for forthcoming SEGs
Interim results from IA work under each of the above headings
Preliminary options
management framework – June/July
standards and measures – October
Second stakeholder consultation autumn 2012
Short-term
Comments on presentations/documents by 3/2/2012
February – report and online access to Final EC4MACS baseline emission scenario
March-September – MSs to take up contact with IIASA on GAINS emission calculations, liaise with energy colleagues in preparation of PRIMES 2012 6
