Commission Decisionof 17 October 2001amending the Annexes to Council Decision 97/101/EC establishing a reciprocal exchange of information and data from networks and individual stations measuring ambient air pollution within the Member States(notified under document number C(2001) 3093)(Text with EEA relevance)(2001/752/EC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Decision 97/101/EC 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(1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision 97/101/EC lays down a system for reciprocal exchange of information and data on ambient air pollution.(2) It is appropriate to amend the Annexes to that Decision in order to adapt the list of pollutants covered as well as requirements on additional information, validation and aggregation.(3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee instituted by Article 12(2) of Council Directive 96/62/EC(2),HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:Article 1The Annexes to Decision 97/101/EC are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.Article 2This Decision is addressed to the Member States.Done at Brussels, 17 October 2001.For the CommissionMargot WallströmMember of the Commission(1) OJ L 35, 5.2.1997, p. 14.(2) OJ L 296, 21.11.1996, p. 55.ANNEX"ANNEX ILIST OF POLLUTANTS, STATISTICAL PARAMETERS AND UNITS OF MEASUREMENT1. Pollutants listed in Annex I to Directive 96/62/EC on air quality2. Pollutants not listed in Annex I to Directive 96/62/EC on air qualityPollutants to be reported under Directives other than Directive 96/62/EC are listed in Section 3 under Nos 14 and 15. Pollutants only to be reported if available are listed under Nos 16 to 63.3. Pollutants, units of measurement, averaging times:>TABLE>4. Data, calculated over the calendar year, to be transmitted to the CommissionMember 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.The yth percentile should be selected from the values actually measured. All the values should be listed in increasing order:>PIC FILE= "L_2001282EN.007301.TIF">The yth percentile is the concentration Xk, where the value of k is calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>with q being equal to y/100 and N the number of values actually measured.The value of (q x N) should be rounded off to 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 format; or in DEM database:The Commission will confirm receipt of data and the number of stations and pollutants.(1) Data exchange module provided on behalf of the European Commission.ANNEX IIINFORMATION CONCERNING NETWORKS, STATIONS AND MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUESMember States shall report on the following points: I.1, I.4.1 to I.4.4, I.5, II.1.1, II.1.4, II.1.8, II.1.10, II.1.11 and II.2.1.
