Over 80 million Europeans are exposed to harmful noise levels. The EU acquis, Environmental Action Programmes and finally the 2002/49/EC3 Environmental Noise Directive (END) described and targeted noise as one of the basic environmental problems. In year 2009, following upon a 2006 needs assessment, the legal experts of the Justice & Environment (J&E) Network compiled the comprehensive “Make Some Noise” shadow report about the – in our assessment, rather low level – implementation of the Directive. Among the findings and recommendations the development of Noise Maps and Noise Action Plans, delays and quality problems, low level of public involvement and non-cohesion with other regulations and plans are listed. The international comparative report and the National reports are presented and available on the J&E homepage.
