Application of the Emissions Trading Directive 2003/87/EC (Article 21)

This data set compiles Member State reports on the application of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union (EU) establishing the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Article 21 of the Directive stipulates that, each year, Member States should report on the application of the Directive. These reports should be based on the ‘Article 21 questionnaire’, which was adopted by the European Commission in Implementing Decision 2014/166/EU. Article 21 further stipulates that, on the basis of the Member States’ reports, the Commission should publish a report on the application of this Directive.

Water Exploitation Index plus (WEI+) for summer and Urban Morphological Zones (UMZ)

The water exploitation index plus (WEI+) compares water use against renewable water resources. The map illustrates the relation between Urban Morphological Zone and the WEI+ at the sub-basin scale for summer months (July, August and September) defined in calendar year.

Water exploitation index plus for river basin districts

The water exploitation index plus has been calculated as a multi-annual average per river basin district, for the years 2002-2012, as defined in ECRINS. The ECRINS delineation of river basin districts differs from those defined by Member States under the Water Framework Directive, particularly for transboundary river basin districts. Click on the "downloads and more info" button below to see the dynamic map with time slider, which provides information on water abstraction by source and water use by sector at sub-basin or river basin scale.

Annual mean PM10 concentrations observed at background stations

The figure shows the background concentrations of PM10 observed at traffic stations in 2013. The two highest PM10 concentration classes (dark orange and light orange) correspond to the 2005 annual limit value (40 μg/m3) and to a statistically derived level (31 μg/m3) corresponding to the 2005 daily limit value. The lowest class corresponds to the WHO air quality guideline for PM10 of 20 μg/m3.

Population-weighted concentration field of annual mean BaP

The map shows annual average concentration of benzo(a)pyrene weighted by population. Dark-green areas correspond to concentrations under the estimated reference level (0.12 ng/m3). Dark-red areas correspond to concentrations exceeding the 2004 AQ Directive target value of 1 ng/m3.

Exceedances of air quality objectives due to traffic measured in traffic stations and background stations

The figure shows the annual mean and back ground concentrations of NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 observed at traffic stations in 2013. The two highest PM10 concentration classes (dark orange and light orange) correspond to the 2005 annual LV (40 μg/m3) and to a statistically derived level (31 μg/m3) corresponding to the 2005 daily LV. The lowest class corresponds to the WHO air quality guideline for PM10 of 20 μg/m3.

Reported effectiveness of vertical coordination mechanisms in national adaptation policy processes, relative to stages of adaptation policy process (Questions 12 and 14; 29 responding countries)

The graph combines information on countries' perceptions on the effectiveness of their vertical coordination mechanism together with information on the stage of their adaptation policy process. Bubbles indicate the number of countries in a given stage of adaptation policy process with a similar perception of the effectiveness of their vertical coordination mechanism

Reported effectiveness of horizontal coordination mechanisms in national adaptation policy processes, relative to stages of adaptation policy process (Questions 12 and 13; 29 responding countries)

The graph combines information on countries' perceptions on the effectiveness of their horizontal coordination mechanism together with information on the stage of their adaptation policy process. Bubble sizes indicate the number of countries in a given stage of adaptation policy process with a similar perception of the effectiveness of their horizontal coordination mechanism.

National 2013 and 2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) emission limits under the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD), relative to 2005 emissions levels

Each bar represents a national target for greenhouse gas emissions which are covered under the Effort Sharing Decision (i.e. not covered under the EU Emissions Trading System). Targets are annual for the period from 2013 until 2020. The graph represents the 2013 and 2020 targets.
