Proposal for a directive
Article 5 a (new)

Article 5 a Exemption from the obligation to apply certain emission limit values 1. Where, in all parts of a given zone as defined in Directive 2008/50/EC or administrative territory within a zone in a Member State, conformity with the emission limit values would not result in anticipated health benefits due to relatively low population density and current level of particulate matter in that zone or administrative territory within that zone, a Member State may apply higher emission limit values in Annex II for that particular zone or administrative territory within that zone. 2. The level of particulate matter should not exceed the limit values set in Annex XI of Directive 2008/50/EC. Member State shall demonstrate this following the provisions in Directive 2008/50/EC. 3. Member States shall, by 1 January 2023, send to the Commission a list of zones or administrative territories where paragraph 1 would apply and an indicative list of plants applying the exemption. In its assessment, the Commission shall take into account ambient air quality in the Member States, at present and in the future, of measures that have been taken by the Member States as well as estimated effects on ambient air quality of current Community measures and planned Community measures to be proposed by the Commission. Where the Commission has raised no objections within nine months of receipt of the lists, the relevant conditions for the application of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be deemed to be satisfied. When the Commission considers that conditions in paragraphs 1 and 2 are not fulfilled, it shall inform the Member State concerned that its exemption cannot be accepted.
