Coming official censorship Brussels
About Italy looming then the risk, rather than concrete, a censorship official EU “breaches incompatible with public health,” related to the failure to reduce smog, and in particular of fine particles in the major cities. The European Commission is in fact ready to press the second stage of the infringement procedure Community (the “reasoned opinion”), which could then lead to an appeal to the European Court of Justice with a request for sentence for Italy, with the payment of a lump-sum penalty of 1 billion euro, plus additional financial penalties proportional to the duration of further violations of the air quality directive.
Italy’s delays
According to sources from the European Commission, the infringement procedure in progress it refers in particular to overcome significant threshold for the concentration of particulate matter PM10 (the threshold annual average of 40 micrograms per cubic meter and the daily 50 micrograms / m3) in all Po Valley (Emilia Romagna, Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto), Rome and Naples. In these areas, “we are about 100 days exceeding the maximum daily limit of 50 micrograms per cubic meter, three times the tolerance limit of 35 days a year,” explained the sources. If the Italian case has not yet resulted in the Court of Justice it is only because the data of the concentration of pollutant gases relative to 2014 were not received by the Commission to the deadline of 30 September last year, while they were never informed about those of 2013; only after a formal notice of Italy by the EU Executive data from both years we were finally sent to Brussels, on November 30 last year.
