This report provides an overview of reported ground‑level ozone concentrations regarding exceedances of regulated objectives between April and September 2011, and sets out their evolution and trends from 1997.

Ozone levels exceeding certain targets in Europe were less frequent in summer 2011 than in any year since monitoring started in 1997. However, the long-term objective was exceeded in all EU Member States and it is likely many of them will not meet the target value, applicable as of 2010.
