Overview
Background & policy context:
EU Member States are required to report their annual emissions according to various international obligations. In addition, environmental policy-making requires reliable estimates of emissions for current and future technologies. This is particularly important for the transport sector, where demand has been growing strongly alongside rapid developments in vehicles and fuels.
Objectives:
MEET aimed to provide a basic, Europe-wide procedure for evaluating the impacts of transport on air pollution. This would include comprehensive and up-to-date information on emissions rates and traffic characteristics, as well as methods of calculation.
