Evaluation finalised SWD(2017)65
The Commission evaluated Directive 94/63/EC on the control of volatile organic compound (VOC-PVR I Directive) emissions resulting from the storage of petrol and its distribution from terminals to service stations and Directive 2009/126/EC on Stage II petrol vapour recovery during refuelling of motor vehicles at service stations (VOC-PVR II Directive).
The evaluation found that both Directives have led to the desired reduction in VOC emissions from petrol storage and distribution. Few, if any problems were experienced during their implementation. No revision of the legislation is envisaged.
