スペインと他の10カ国は、排出量の限度を超え
España y otros 10 países superan los límites de emisiones contaminantes
Es el tercer año consecutivo en el que incumple el tope marcado de óxidos de nitrógeno
El transporte por carretera contribuye al 40% de este tipo de emisiones en Europa

Spain and 10 other countries exceed emissions limits
It is the third consecutive year in which the marking stop breaches of nitrogen oxides
Road transport contributes 40% of such emissions in Europe

Spain and 10 other European countries in 2012 exceeded emissions limits assigned to them by Community legislation , mainly because of the emissions generated by road transport . The European Environment Agency (EEA , its acronym in English ) today released the latest data on the implementation of the European directive on national emission ceilings , and pointed to the 11 defaulting countries : Luxembourg, Austria, Germany, France Belgium, Ireland, Malta, Spain , Slovenia , the Netherlands and Denmark. In 2011 were 10, ie , one less , States that did not meet at least one of the contaminants.
The European directive on national emission ceilings set 2010 as the first in which they had to meet a set of four very limits harmful pollutants that cause not only public health problems ( respiratory disease, for example) but also environmental , as acidification of soil and vegetation damage . Member States could not exceed a maximum sulfur dioxide , volatile organic compounds ( VOCs) , ammonia, and nitrogen oxides.
Are the latter, they are largely traffic , which generate more defaults . If in 2011 , seven countries that exceeded their roof back in 2012 doing the same number of states . Among them, Spain , yet their situation has improved compared to 2011 according to the data today. Spain issued 6% more than allowed . The Directive ( 2001/81/EC ) establishes national emission ceilings , ie , a maximum amount of each pollutant expressed in kilotonnes each state can emit in a year.
"Air pollution is still a very real problem " , said the Executive Director of the Agency , Hans Bruyninckx . He added , as recorded by a press release of the EAS , remember that only high concentrations of contaminants found in recent weeks in large parts of Western Europe. "We have to improve the situation further cutting emissions. New technologies can help, but we also need to encourage people to take action , for example by promoting alternatives to the car," he noted.
The members defaulting States face sanctions if they violate the limits establecidos.La EEA continuously stresses that despite the many failures of the countries , global emissions of the four pollutants have declined in the EU in 2012 over the previous year.
