(18) Owing to the transboundary nature of acidification and ozone pollution, the Commission should continue to examine further the need to develop harmonised Community measures, without prejudice to Article 18 of Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control(9), with the aim of avoiding distortion of competition, and taking into account the balance between benefits and cost of action.

In order to gather data about exact state of the ozone depletion, four airplanes (2 European, 2 American) and more than 20 balloons will be launched in the course of the next weeks to measure the ozone content in the critical stratospheric zone in 20 km height. The results of the campaing will be known in March.
