Corrigendum to State aid N. 54/2001 — Italy

According to the Dutch authorities, their request is justified because new scientific evidence on the environmental and health effects of particulate matter has become available since the adoption of Directive 98/69/EC. According to them, this information shows that excessive particulate matter emissions have harmful effects on human health, such as premature deaths and impaired lung functions. This scientific evidence has led, at Community level, to the provision of a draft proposal (the Euro 5 draft proposal), reducing the particulate matter level for diesel passenger cars and some light commercial vehicles to 5 milligrams per kilometre. However, according to the Dutch authorities, it is likely that this new limit value will not enter into force before 2010. For the Dutch authorities, particulate matter is a cause of major concern because of the high population density and a more highly concentrated infrastructure than in other European countries. In their view, this situation leads to high emissions per square kilometre. Furthermore, air quality in many areas of the Netherlands does not comply with the European limit values for particulate matter as set out in Directive 1999/30/EC (3). The envisaged measure is part of a package of measures aimed at improving the air quality in the Netherlands. The Dutch authorities consider that the measure is necessary to improve the quality of the environment and thus protect human health. They also consider that the draft measure is neither a means of arbitrary discrimination nor a disguised restriction on trade between Member States. Furthermore, they believe that the measure is proportionate to attain the desired objectives.

Note 1: Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 2: The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive

Note 3: In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.
