Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Compliance with the emission limit values provided for in this Directive should be regarded as a necessary, though not sufficient, condition for meeting the objectives of preventing and reducing pollution and enabling the environment, water, the air, soil, and the public to be protected to a high degree. In order to meet those objectives, it may be necessary to lay down more stringent limit values for the polluting substances covered by this Directive, emission values for other substances and environmental components, and other appropriate conditions.
