What the Commission proposes
This Commission implementing decision lays down a revised common format for national air pollution control programmes under Directive (EU) 2016/2284. It aims to simplify and clarify reporting requirements, improve data comparability, and support Member States in planning measures to meet national emission reduction commitments. The decision repeals the previous Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1522 and introduces a 12-month transitional period allowing Member States to use either the old or the new format. The annex details specific reporting sections covering general information, policy frameworks, emission inventories, air quality status, and projected impacts.

Dossier summary from the portal
Directive (EU)2016/2284 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants requires Member States to prepare a National Air Pollution Control Programme (NAPCP) and to update it at least every four years. The Commission has adopted a common format for NAPCPs, but without differentiating between initial and updated NAPCPs. A simplified common format for initial NAPCPs and a common format dedicated to updates of NAPCPs will clarify the minimum content, simplify their preparation and review and facilitate their comparability.
