With the support of the Commission and their respective national agencies, European scientists have played a key role in the study of mechanisms leading to stratospheric ozone depletion in the northern hemisphere. Based on the experience of the first French—German balloon flights in Northern Sweden in 1987–1990, an extensive research programme was carried out during the following decade combining field observations using balloon, aircraft and ground-based stations in the Arctic and at mid-latitude, as well as laboratory chemistry and modelling. More than 300 scientists from Europe, the USA, Russia, Japan and others have participated in the effort, the results of which were presented and discussed at a series of ‘European Arctic Ozone Symposia’ and published in several special issues of international scientific journals. Altogether, the European Arctic Ozone campaigns resulted in significant progress in ozone science providing the Commission with the required information for the definition of Europe policy in the frame of the Protocol of Montreal.
