Custom query: Themes filters: Government and public sector, Environment; Geographical Coverage filters: Austria, Luxembourg, Greece, Slovakia, SwedenEuropean Alternative Fuels ObservatoryEAFO Project Officeec-alternative-fuels-observatory@ec.europa.eutag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/eafoThe objective of this Observatory is to be the one-stop-shop for all data and relevant information regarding alternative transport fuels in Europe. The current version of the portal covers electricity. The second version to be released in June will also cover hydrogen and natural gas. A third version is being considered for late 2016 or 2017 to also cover biofuels and LPG.
The Observatory is there to support the development of alternative transport fuels in Europe and assist the Member States with the implementation of Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of recharging and refuelling stations. This Directive requires that the Member States ensure a minimum coverage of certain alternative fuels by end 2020, or end 2025 or end 2030 depending on the fuels. The Observatory will also be of great use to cities as a pilot of 20 cities are developing a city-specific factsheet for the deployment of alternative transport fuels, which will be ready this summer. Interested cities are encouraged to contact the EAFO team.
Up until now, data has been available on a fragmented and non-quality checked basis. The Observatory is gathering all existing data, performing the necessary quality checks and cross-checks so that users can trust their reliability. It also provides useful relevant information. Regular research and analysis will be conducted on the basis of the data and information, to provide recommendations to policy-makers and stakeholders.
For many parts, the Observatory receives direct input from European countries and stakeholders. People and entities holding additional data and information are cordially invited to share it with the Observatory to the benefit of all. Only together will we be stronger and be able to support our European citizens and businesses.
The Observatory is managed by a consortium led by AVERE, the European Association for Electromobility. Also involved are POLIS, a leading association of cities; the VUB, the Flemish University of Brussels; TNO, a consultancy; and Tobania, an IT company.

EMSA maintains operational contracts for each of the vessels in this network, mainly by monitoring and assessing the performance of the contracted vessels during quarterly drills and international exercises.
EMSA helps to identify, trace and track illegal discharges and polluters through the satellite image-based service known as CleanSeaNet. This monitoring service supports coastal states and the European Commission and offers a solid basis on which to expand illegal discharge-related measures. The service is now available across the Mediterranean, Black and Caspian Seas through the SAFEMED and TRACECA cooperation programmes. In addition to this coverage, the service has been extended to Greenland and as part of a pilot project to both the French and Dutch Caribbean.

2018-12-14T09:31:38Z2016-09-27T13:26:05Z2011 - Survey - Europeans and energy (part I)tag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/2011-europeans-and-energy-iOn the eve of the first European Council of 4 February 2011, devoted exclusively to energy, it became useful to measure the perception that Europeans have on the energy issue and on the respective roles of the European Union and its Member States in this area.
Due to the dates of adoption of the different resolutions, this survey will be divided in two parts, the first one to be published before the European Council and the other one during the month of March. This latter will be focused on more specific questions related to the new EU energy strategy of 2020.
As part of this first survey conducted by TNS Opinion, three general questions related to proposals made several times by the European Parliament, have been asked. The responses of the Europeans are very clear.
On one hand, respondents are well aware of the European added value that a better coordination of energy policies, as well as greater solidarity between Member states in the event of a supply crisis, would allow.
On the other hand, on energy priorities, the results show how the energy culture and the energy situation of each country of the EU, affect the nature of the answers. That's why we thought it important to include in this note a series of Eurostat statistics and maps ("Panorama of energy / edition 2009") which illustrate the energy context of each Member State.
Which priority to reinforce the energy cooperation?
Stability of energy prices, first priority of the respondents (29%)
Renewable energies, second priority of the respondents (27%)
Guarantee of energy supply, third priority of the respondents (20%)
Energy efficiency, fourth priority of the respondents (16%) 2020-03-19T20:39:16Z2017-01-17T12:29:04ZMonitoring the implementation of EU maritime legislation – compliance visitsEuropean Maritime Safety Agencytag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/monitoring-the-implementation-of-eu-maritime-legislation-compliance-visitsEMSA assists the European Commission and the EFTA Surveillance Authority in their efforts to achieve a convergent and effective implementation of EU maritime law by conducting visits to member states, Iceland and Norway. The visits give member states the opportunity to better plan resources, assess training requirements and review any gaps and shortcomings, in order to improve the level of compliance with EU law.
2018-12-14T09:31:40Z2016-09-27T13:07:27Z2008 - Survey - Climate Changetag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/2008-climate-changeThe main results of the survey on climate change, jointly commissioned by the European Parliament and the Commission, show Europeans have a real awareness of the problem and are willing to act in a more environmentally responsible way.
Climate change is seen by Europeans as one of the world’s most serious problems, second only to poverty. Over half said they were fairly well informed about climate change but a large number said they still lacked information.
When asked what should be done, a majority of Europeans thought that industry, governments, the public and the EU do not do enough to combat climate change. Three out of four primarily blamed industry.
The survey shows that more and more Europeans are personally doing something to combat climate change, both in their personal consumption (sorting waste, reducing energy and water consumption at home, consuming fewer throw-away products, purchasing local and seasonal products) and their mode of transport. It is noted that more effort needs to be made in relation to renewable energy.
One last point to note: 44% of Europeans say they are ready to pay more to combat climate change.2017-04-26T12:20:57Z2017-01-17T14:18:52ZSpecial Eurobarometer 497: Attitudes of Europeans towards Air QualityDG COMMEurobarometer@ec.europa.eutag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/S2239_92_1_497_ENGThis Eurobarometer survey shows strong public support for measures to improve air quality but also the need for more information about air quality in the EU.
According to the survey, a majority of respondents in all EU Member States think that the EU should propose additional measures to improve air quality.
Of the more than 27,000 citizens interviewed, the largest proportion of respondents consider that the most effective way to tackle air quality problems is to apply stricter pollution controls on industrial and energy-production activities.
The survey also reveals the need for better communication, especially at national level, about air quality. A majority of respondents do not feel well-informed about air quality problems in their country and respondents are more likely to think that air quality has deteriorated over the past ten years.
In fact, air quality has improved during that time.

This survey dealt with energy supply, cooperation and solidarity.
Considering the new positions adopted by the European Parliament, this new survey focuses on more specific themes, but also extremely important for the development of an energy policy of the Union: energy savings, energy supply difficulties, integration of networks and the European Community for energy. The fieldwork was conducted by TNS Opinion between 9 February and 6 March 2011, in a context of a hard winter and an increase of all raw materials prices.
it's important to note that both surveys share a common point: the results highlight again how the energy culture and the energy situation of each EU Member States influence the answers of the interviewed citizens.
Two socio-demographic aspects of this current survey have to be kept in mind: on the one hand, apart from a few exceptions, there are few differences between the answers of men and women; on the other hand, the results illustrate a real generational gap which is evident in both behaviour and perception of the energy problems.
On energy savings, European citizens prefer measures without a financial impact.
The priority is given to domestic savings: decrease of use of lightings and of electric appliances (55%), and reduction of heating or air conditioning (43%).
The context is unfavourable to expensive measures: insulation of the house (19%) purchase of a more ecological car (6%).
The awareness related to savings made on the road is to be improved: less frequent use of their car (19%), more frequent use of public transport (14%) and reduction of driving speed (10%).
Europeans who did "nothing" to change their behaviour towards energy savings are a significant number (14%).
Respondents give the priority to practical measures to reduce the energy bill.
They want to be able to daily measure their energy consumption thanks to "smart" meters (47%).
They expect the establishment of a tax incentive (40%).
They are in favour of the creation of conditions for energy providers to compete (36%).
They support the improvement of energy bill transparency and simplification (23%).
Europeans want the objective of 20% of energy savings to be made compulsory (80% of "yes").
Europeans support the fighting against the energy precariousness (81% of "yes").
Assets of a European integrated energy network
It would imply a reduction of energy costs (59%).
It would encourage a better use of various types of energy (47%).
It would make the delivery of energy safer (35%).
It would enhance EU capacity to negotiate major contracts with countries outside its borders (28%).
It would contribute to increase solidarity among the EU Member States (25%).
Respondents show a massive support to the establishment of a European Energy Community (78% "agree").2020-03-19T20:22:59Z2017-01-17T12:23:46ZList of nano-pigments on the EU markettag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/list-of-nano-pigments-on-the-eu-marketAs part of a study commissioned by the European Union Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON) to investigate the safe use of nano-sized pigments in consumer products, as well as their safety when used by professionals and workers, a list of nano-sized pigments currently known to be on the EU market was established.
The list consists of 81 substances from the European Chemicals Agency's (ECHA's) chemicals database as well as publications by the Belgian and French national inventories, and the current EU catalogue of nanomaterials used in cosmetic products. Data from the Danish Product Register was also used. Click on the substance names in the list to get more information from ECHA's chemicals database.

ECHA supports the identification of new POPs substances. It will also act as an interface for reporting duties on implementing the regulation. This includes compiling and publishing information from the Member States on uses, volumes, releases, monitoring data, stockpiles and waste related to POPs, as well as supporting the Commission to review and update the future activities to further progress in combatting the risks caused by POPs.
These two lists contain substances subject to the POPs Regulation and listed under the Stockholm Convention, an international treaty on controlling POPs as well as substances being proposed as POPs by the EU.2019-07-19T14:07:49Z2019-07-19T13:55:02ZCatalogue of nanomaterials used in cosmeticstag:data.europa.eu,2012:/dataset/catalogue-of-nanomaterials-used-in-cosmeticsThe European Commission published a catalogue of all nanomaterials used in cosmetic products in the EU in July 2017, and the catalogue is regularly updated. Many of the substances listed in the catalogue are also registered under the REACH Regulation.
This list includes the nanomaterials in the European Commission’s catalogue, with their EC and CAS numbers, and links them to their registration data in the chemicals database maintained by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). There you can find more information about their safe use and what regulatory activities are relevant to them.
The linking was done by matching chemical substances existing in ECHA’s database through their CAS numbers and/or with the name of the nanomaterial in the catalogue.

The data is collected from publicly available information from REACH registrations, the Cosmetics Regulation as well as French and Belgian national inventories. The results are linked to ECHA’s chemicals database.
As there are differences in defining nanomaterials and tonnage reporting thresholds, the presence of a nanomaterial in any single data source does not mean that it is present in all of them. As the data sources have differing reporting rules and scopes, it is not always possible to match a material reported in one of the data sources with the substance in ECHA’s database. Where no match is possible, the material in the original data source has not been reported.
Some of the information on registered substances may belong to third parties. The use of such information may therefore require prior permission from third party owners.
