COUNCIL DECISION
of 27 January 1997
establishing a reciprocal exchange of information and data from
networks and individual stations measuring ambient air pollution
within the Member States
(97/101/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and
in particular Article 130s (1), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the Opinion ofthe Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of
the Treaty (3),
(1) Whereas the fifth European Community action programme on theenvironment (
4) provides for the collection of baseline data on the
environment and an improvement in their compatibility, compar-ability and transparency;
(2) Whereas the objectives and tasks ofthe European EnvironmentAgency are set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1210/90 of7
May 1990 on the establishment ofthe European Environment
Agency and the European Environment Information and Obser-vation Network(
5);
(3) Whereas it is necessary to establish a procedure for the exchangeofinf ormation on air quality in order to help combat pollution andnuisance, with a view to improving the quality oflif e andenvironment throughout the Community, through monitoringlong-term trends and improvements resulting from national and
Community legislation to combat air pollution;
(4) Whereas duplication in transferring information should beavoided, in particular as regards information to be transmitted
to the European Environment Agency and the Commission;
(5) Whereas experience built up as the result ofexchanges ofinformation pursuant to Council Decision 75/441/EEC of 24 June1975 establishing a common procedure for the exchange ofinformation between the surveillance and monitoring networksbased on data relating to atmospheric pollution caused by certain
compounds and suspended particulates (
6) and by Council
Decision 82/459/EEC of24 June 1982 establishing a reciprocalexchange of information and data from networks and individualstations measuring air pollution within the Member States (
7)
makes it possible to establish a more complete and representativeexchange ofinf ormation by increasing the number ofpollutants
considered and by including networks and individual stations
measuring ambient air pollution;
(6) Whereas a distinction should be made between information thatmust always be transmitted, in particular relating to CouncilDirective 96/62/EC of27 September 1996 on ambient air quality1997D0101 — EN — 26.10.2001 — 001.001 — 2

Directive on air quality’), and information that must be submittedwhere it is available;
(7) Whereas the information collected needs to be sufficientlyrepresentative to enable pollution levels to be mapped throughoutthe Community;
(8) Whereas using common criteria for validating and processing themeasurement results will increase the compatibility and compar-ability ofthe data transmitted,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Objectives
1. A reciprocal exchange of information and data from networks and
individual stations measuring ambient air pollution, hereinafter referred
to as ‘reciprocal exchange’, is hereby established. It shall apply to:
— networks and stations, covering detailed information describing the
air-pollution monitoring networks and stations operating in theMember States,
— measurements ofair quality obtained f rom stations: the exchange
covers data calculated in accordance with points 3 and 4 ofAnnex I
from measurements of air pollution by stations in the Member States.
2. The Commission and the bodies referred to in Article 6 shall be
responsible for the operation of the reciprocal exchange. In order tobenefit from the experience acquired by the European Environment
Agency and within its sphere ofcompetence, the Commission shall call
upon the Environmental Agency, inter alia as regards the operation and
practical implementation ofthe inf ormation system.
Article 2
Pollutants
1. The reciprocal exchange shall cover the air pollutants listed in
Annex I to the Directive on air quality.
2. Within the framework of the reciprocal exchange, the Member
States shall also report on air pollutants listed in point 2 ofAnnex I to
the extent that the relevant data are available to the bodies mentioned in
Article 6 and are measured continuously by Member States.
Article 3
Stations
The reciprocal exchange, within the meaning ofArticle 1, covers
stations:
— which are used in the framework of the implementation of directives
adopted in accordance with Article 4 ofthe Directive on air quality,
— which, without being covered by the directives referred to in the first
indent, will be selected for this purpose amongst existing stations atnational level by the Member States in order to estimate localpollution levels for pollutants listed under point 2 of Annex I and
regional (so called ‘background’) pollution levels for all pollutants
listed in Annex I,
— as far as possible, which took part in the reciprocal exchange of
information established by Decision 82/459/EEC, provided that theyare not covered by the second indent.1997D0101 — EN — 26.10.2001 — 001.001 — 3

Article 4
Required information on networks and stations
1. The information to be communicated to the Commission shall
concern the characteristics ofthe measurement stations, the measure-ment equipment and the operational procedures followed in those
stations and the structure and organization ofthe network to which they

Commission shall specify the minimum information which Member
States shall transmit.
2. As regards stations referred to in the first indent of Article 3 the
reciprocal exchange will apply once the legislation referred to in Article

Commission
Member States shall send raw data or shall send raw data and statistics.For those Member States who transfer raw data and statistics the following
statistics are required.
— For pollutants 1 to 61:
the arithmetic mean, the median, the percentiles 98 (and 99,9 which may
be transmitted on a voluntary basis for pollutants for which the mean is
calculated over one hour) and the maximum calculated from raw data
corresponding to the recommended averaging times indicated in the table
above,
— for pollutants 62 and 63:
total monthly deposition, calculated from raw data corresponding to the
recommended averaging times indicated in the table above.1997D0101 — EN — 26.10.2001 — 001.001 — 9

The ythpercentile should be selected from the values actually measured. All
the values should be listed in increasing order:
The ythpercentile is the concentration Xk, where the value ofk is calculated as
follows:
k¼q/C2N ðÞ
with q being equal to y/100 and N the number ofvalues actually measured.
The value of(q × N) should be rounded of fto the nearest whole number.
All the results should be expressed at the following conditions of temperature
and pressure: 293 K and 101,3 kPa, except for pollutants 62 and 63. For
particle bound components, data from the year 2001 and onwards should be
reported at ambient conditions.
5.Data transmission to the Commission:
Data shall be transmitted by one of the following data formats: ISO 7168
version 2 extended format, NASA-AMES 1001/1010 or DEM(1) compatible
