Andragendet er rettet til: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner complains about the level of noise pollution in the vicinity of airports in Hungary, claiming that the Hungarian government does not comply with its obligations under Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise (the Environmental Noise Directive – END), insofar as it did not set limit values for noise near airports. He also argues that the authorities did not make strategic noise mapping or action plans, did not organize public consultations in relation to the latter, as prescribed by the END, and failed to protect the health of people residing near airports. In addition, he points out that, as of August 2018, the flight paths were changed which increased noise pollution around the Budapest airport.
