What is reported

The Air Quality e-Reporting system is organised around 14 inter-connected dataflows lettered from B to K. These dataflows correspond to different reporting obligations (ROD) as listed in the table below. ROD is the EEA’s reporting obligations database. It contains records  describing environmental reporting obligations that countries have towards international organisations. It includes all environmental reporting obligations that EEA member countries have towards DG environment, European marine conventions, Eurostat, OECD, UN, UNECE, as well as the EEA itself. To learn more about ROD, the status of the contents and the intended users, please check out the general help section.

In generating the necessary data files corresponding to these dataflows or RODs, the countries must meet the content requirements laid down in the Air Quality Directive and the Implementing Decision.

Please note that not all the reporting countries have to report on all data flows. As the Air Quality Directive applies only to the EU Member States and to the European Economic Area (EEA) agreement countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), the other countries are not bound to report on all data flow. For these “third” countries, the reporting scope depends on the status towards the EU (e.g. the West Balkans countries engaged in the accession process) or to specific agreements.
