    (Reuters) - Germany must improve its air pollution control programme and ensure it complies with EU requirements, the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court said on Tuesday.

    The case against the German government, brought by Environmental Action Germany and the London-based organisation Client Earth, was largely upheld by the court.

    The government had failed to provide up-to-date figures, meaning its air quality forecasts lacked credibility, the Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg said.

    An appeal against the ruling is possible, the court added.
