Notes to Form 2:

(1)	The Member State should give not only the zone name, but also a unique zone code.

(2)

The Member State should indicate the pollutant(s) to which the zone applies using the codes: ‘S’ for SO2, ‘N’ for NO2/NOx, ‘P’ for PM10, ‘L’ for lead, ‘B’ for benzene, ‘C’ for carbon monoxide and ‘O’ for ozone, separated by a semicolon, or ‘A’ if the zone applies to all these pollutants. If zones have been separately defined for health, ecosystem and vegetation protection, the Member State should use the following codes: ‘SH’ for SO2 health protection, ‘SE’ for SO2 ecosystem protection, ‘NH’ for NO2 health protection, ‘NV’ for NOx vegetation protection.

(3)	It should be indicated whether the zone is an agglomeration (code: ‘ag’) or not (code: ‘nonag’).

(4)	Optionally, the Member States may add the area and population size of the zone for further processing of the data at European level.

(5)

For further processing, the Member State is requested to fill in the zone borders in a standard format (polygons, using the geographical coordinates according to ISO 6709: geographical longitude and latitude). The Member State is requested to provide separately a map of the zones (as an electronic file or on paper) to facilitate the correct interpretation of the zone data. The Member State must provide at least either the zone borders in Form 2 or a map.

Form 3. Stations and measuring methods used for assessment pursuant to Directive 1999/30/EC (Annex IX) and Directive 2000/69/EC (Annex VII)

Correction factor or equation used

Function of station

SO2

NO2

NOx

Lead

Benzene

PM10

PM2,5

PM10

PM2,5

Notes to Form 3:

(1)	In Form 3 and other forms in this questionnaire, ‘EoI station code’ refers to the code that is used for the exchange of data under the Exchange of Information Decision 97/101/EC. ‘Local station code’ is the code used within the Member State or region.

(2)	The Member State is requested to identify in the third column the zone(s) applying to ozone in which the station is located. If more than one zone is concerned, the codes should be separated by a semicolon.

(3)

The Member State is requested to use the columns headed by ‘SO2’, ‘NO2’, ‘NOx’, ‘Lead’, ‘Benzene’ and ‘CO’ for indicating whether the measurement is used for assessment under Directive 1999/30/EC or Directive 2000/69/EC respectively, ticking with ‘y’ if used and leaving the cell empty if not used. It should be noted that ticking NOx implies that the station is sited at a location where the limit value for vegetation applies. If the station is in the immediate vicinity of specific sources of lead as referred to in Annex IV to Directive 1999/30/EC, the Member State is requested to tick with ‘SS’ instead of ‘y’.

(4)

The Member State should use the columns headed by ‘PM10’ and ‘PM2,5’ for indicating whether the measurement is used for assessment under Directive 1999/30/EC and indicate at the same time which measurement method is used. If the measurement is used for assessment under the Directive, the Member State should fill in the measuring method code (see Note 5); if the measurement is not used for assessment under the Directive, the cell should be left empty. For PM2,5 levels formal assessment under Article 6 of Directive 96/62/EC is not required.

(5)

The measurement method code for PM10 and PM2,5 can be indicated by one of the standard codes provided by this questionnaire (see Table 1) or a code defined by the Member State that refers to a separate list of methods described by the Member State (see Form 7). The description defined by the Member State may also be a reference to a separate document added to the questionnaire. If the measurement method has been changed during the year, the Member State is requested to fill in both method codes: first the method that was used for the longest time in the year, followed by the other one, separated by a semicolon.

(6)

When the measurement method for PM10 or PM2,5 is not the reference method, respectively the provisional reference method, set out in Directive 1999/30/EC, Annex IX, the Member State is requested to fill in the correction factor by which the measured concentrations have been multiplied to obtain the concentrations reported in this questionnaire or to fill in the corresponding correction equation. If a correction equation has been applied, a free format can be used in which the measured concentration should be denoted by ‘CM’ and the reported concentration by ‘CR’, preferably using the format CR = f(CM). If the results of the method have been demonstrated to be equivalent without the application of a correction, the Member State is requested to indicate this by entering the value ‘1’ for the correction factor or equation.

(7)

‘Function of station’ indicates whether the station is sited at a location where (a) the limit values for health, the SO2 limit value for ecosystems and the NOx limit value for vegetation apply (code ‘HEV’), (b) only the limit values for health and the SO2 limit value for ecosystems apply (code ‘HE’), (c) only the limit value for health and the NOx limit value for vegetation apply (code ‘HV’) or (d) only the limit values for health apply (code ‘H’).

EoI station code	Local station code	Zone code	Type of station	O3	NO2	NOx

Notes to Form 4:

(1)	The Member State is requested to identify in the third column the zone in which the station is located.

(2)

The Member State should use the columns headed by ‘O3’, ‘NO2’ and ‘NOx’ for indicating whether the measurement is used for assessment under Directive 2002/3/EC, ticking with ‘y’ if used and leaving the cell empty if not used. The column headed by ‘NO2’ indicates measurement as mentioned in Directive 2002/3/EC, Article 9(1), the column headed by ‘NOx’ indicates measurement as mentioned in Directive 2002/3/EC, Article 9(3).

(3)	‘Type of station’ is defined according to Directive 2002/3/EC, Annex IV. The following codes should be used: ‘U’ for urban, ‘S’ for suburban, ‘R’ for rural and ‘RB’ for rural background.

Notes to Form 19:

(1)

‘Method’ is a code defined by the Member State that refers to a separate list of references (Form 20) on publications or reports in which the supplementary method is documented. Form 20 is part of the report to the Commission; the publications or reports referred to are not to be sent to the Commission.

(2)

Form 19 can be complemented by maps showing concentration distributions. It is recommended that the Member State, if possible, compiles maps showing concentration distributions within each zone and agglomeration. It is recommended to provide concentration iso-lines of the parameters in which the air quality thresholds are expressed (see Table 3) using iso-lines at intervals of 10 % of the threshold.

(3)	The information should refer to the appropriate averaging period for the long-term objectives (one year), the target value for health (three years) and the target value for vegetation (five years).
