European Union Air policies
14th January 2008
A clean air supply is essential to our own health and that of the environment. The EC website provides full details about the EU Air policies currently in place.
The issue of air quality is now a major concern for many European citizens. It is also one of the areas in which the European Union has been most active. Since the early 1970s, the EU has been working to improve air quality by controlling emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, improving fuel quality, and by integrating environmental protection requirements into the transport and energy sectors.
