Recommendation 1947 (2010)1
Noise
and light pollution

1. The Parliamentary Assembly, referring to
its
Resolution 1776 (2010) on noise and light pollution,
underlines the significant harmful effects of noise and light
pollution on the environment in general, and on biodiversity
and human health in particular.

2. It recommends that the Committee of
Ministers:

2.1. invite member and observer states of the
Council of Europe to review their legislation regarding noise
and light pollution to ensure that it is relevant to the
present-day situation;

2.2. consider whether or not it would be
appropriate to draft a framework convention on the measures to
be taken, at pan-European level, to address the scourge of
noise and light pollution.

3. The Assembly also calls on the Congress of
Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe to
analyse and encourage good practices in the fight against
noise and light pollution at local and regional level.

1. Text adopted by the
Standing Committee, acting on behalf of the Assembly, on
12 November 2010 (see Doc.
12179, report of the Committee on the Environment,
Agriculture and Local and Regional Affairs, rapporteur: Mr R.
Huseynov).
