Recital 9
(9) Member States should comply with the emission reduction commitments set out in this Directive for 2020 and 2030. So as to ensure demIn order to limit the atmospheric emissions of air pollutants and to effectively constrable progress towards the 2030 commitments, Member States should meet intermediate emission levels in 2025, set on the basis of a linear trajectory between their emission levels for 2020 and those defined by the emission reduction commitments for 2030, unless this would entail disproportionate costs. Where the 2025 emissions cannot be so limited, Member States should explain the reasons in their reports under this Directiveibute to the Union objective of achieving air quality that does not give rise to significant negative impacts on and risks to health, and to reducing the levels deposition of acidifying and eutrophying pollutants below critical loads and levels, binding national emission reduction commitments are set in this Directive for 2020, 2025 and 2030.
