Janez Potočnik, Commissario per l’Ambiente, ha dichiarato:
|
7 |
"Air pollution is often invisible, but its effects are very real.
|
“L’inquinamento dell’aria è spesso invisibile ma i suoi effetti sono purtroppo reali.
|
8 |
When air quality is poor we pay a heavy price: citizens' lives are lost, medical costs are high, and working days are lost to illness.
|
Paghiamo un prezzo molto elevato per la scarsa qualità dell’aria: la vita, elevati costi medici e giorni lavorativi persi per malattia.
|
9 |
Green Week provides an important platform where policymakers, representatives from local communities and NGOs, public authorities and businesses can exchange ideas on how improve the air we breathe – we are constantly open to suggestions on how to improve our current legislation."
|
La settimana verde è una piattaforma importante dove i decisori politici, i rappresentanti delle comunità locali e delle ONG, le autorità pubbliche e le imprese possono scambiarsi idee su come migliorare l’aria che respiriamo: siamo sempre aperti a suggerimenti per migliorare la nostra legislazione vigente”.

Organisations and companies will showcase best practices at a 40-stand exhibition, and numerous side events include an outside exhibition of alternative fuel vehicles and test drives of electric cars.
|
Nei 40 stand dell’esposizione le organizzazioni e le imprese presenteranno le migliori pratiche nonché un corollario di eventi, tra cui una mostra di veicoli a carburante alternativo e la possibilità di provare automobili elettriche.
|

|
La settimana presenta anche la cerimonia di consegna dei premi Best LIFE Nature e Best LIFE Environment.
|
12 |
Commissioner Potočnik has declared 2013 as the Year of Air, and over the course of the year the Commission's current air policy is being reviewed, with a focus on finding ways to improve the quality of the air we breathe.
|
Il commissario Potočnik ha dichiarato il 2013 Anno dell’aria e durante l’anno la Commissione procede al riesame dell’attuale strategia sull’aria, prestando un’attenzione particolare al reperimento di modi per migliorare la qualità dell’aria che respiriamo.
|
13 |
Despite good progress in recent years, several air quality standards are still widely exceeded in the EU's most densely populated areas, especially from pollutants such as particulate matter, ground-level ozone, and nitrogen dioxide.
|
Nonostante i notevoli progressi compiuti negli ultimi anni, numerose norme sulla qualità dell’aria sono ancora ampiamente disattese nelle zone più densamente popolate dell’Unione europea, in particolare per quanto riguarda inquinanti come il particolato, l’ozono troposferico e il diossido di azoto.
|
14 |
In the autumn, the review will deliver a revised strategy for EU Air Policy, including new or confirmed objectives for 2020 and beyond, together with a list of key initiatives and instruments to reach them.
|
In autunno il riesame produrrà una strategia rivista per la politica UE dell’aria, comprensiva di obiettivi nuovi o confermati per il 2020 e oltre, insieme a un elenco di iniziative e strumenti chiave per realizzarli.
