The Court:

1. |
Declares that, by having systematically and persistently exceeded the limit values for concentrations of particulate matter PM10, and continuing to exceed them,
the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under the provisions of Article 13 of, in conjunction with Annex XI to, Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe, and by failing to adopt as from 11 June 2010 appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the limit values for concentrations of particulate matter PM10 in all those zones, the Italian Republic has failed to meet its obligations under Article 23(1) of Directive 2008/50, on its own and in conjunction with Section A of Annex XV to that directive, and in particular the obligation laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 23(1), to ensure that the air quality plans provide for appropriate measures to ensure that the period of exceedance of the limit values is kept as short as possible. |
|
2. |
Orders the Italian Republic to pay the costs. |
