4. In zones not complying with EU air quality limit values laid down in Directive 2008/50/EC, Member States shall apply, for individual medium combustion plants in those zones, emission limit values based on the benchmark values laid down in Annex III or on stricter values established by the Member States, unless it is demonstrated to the Commission that applying such emission limit values wouldtake the necessary measures to secure an equitable contribution from all polluting sources to achieve such targets without entailing disproportionate costs and thataking into account any other measures ensuring compliance with the air quality limit values have been included in the air quality plans required under Article 23 of Directive 2008/50/EC.
