The European Commission is set
to send Italy a reasoned opinion - the second phase in an
infringement procedure - for having had unacceptable pollution
levels in several urban areas for over seven years, ANSA sources
said Monday.
The move, concerning particulate matter (PM10) levels, will
be made official on Thursday, the sources said.
In February the Commission said it was sending a final
warning to Italy for failing to address repeated breaches of air
pollution limits in 12 air quality zones, including Rome, Milan
and Turin.
