Recital 9 a (new)
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) Since 1990 ammonia emissions in the EU have been reduced by almost 30 %20a. When determining emission ceilings for NH3, previous efforts made by Member States to reduce NH3 in the agricultural sector should therefore be acknowledged. Trade-offs with animal welfare should also be taken into account. ––––––––––––––––––––––– 20a See Eurostat leaflet about Agriculture, forestry and fishery statistics from 2013, p. 115 - 121.

Recital 9 b (new)
Recital 9 b (new)
(9b) In order to ensure a European level playing field, reductions of atmospheric NH3 which have been achieved by different EU policy measures such as the Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) and the implementation of national policies to reduce the deposition of ammonia in Natura 2000 areas, concerning the Birds and habitat Directive (92/43/EEC), should be taken into account in the context of the national control programmes set out in this Directive.

Recital 11
(11) In order to promote cost-effective achievement of the national emission reduction commitments and of the intermediate emission levels, Member States should be entitled to account for emission reductions from international maritime traffic if emissions from that sector are lower than the levels of emissions that would result from compliance with Union law standards, including the sulphur limits for fuels set in Directive 1999/32/EC of the Council.21 Member States should also have the possibility to jointly meet their commitments and intermediate emission levels regarding methane (CH4) and of making use of Decision n°406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council for so doing.22 For the purpose of checking compliance with their national emission ceilings, emission reduction commitments and intermediate emission levels, Member States could adjust their national emission inventories in view of improved scientific understanding and methodologies regarding emissions. The Commission could object to the use of any of these flexibilities by a Member State, should the conditions set out in this Directive not be met. __________________ 21 Council Directive 1999/32/EC of 26 April 1999 relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels and amending Directive 93/12/EEC (OJ L 121, 11.5.1999, p. 13). 22 Decision n°406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the effort of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community’s greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 136).

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) In order to reduce atmospheric NH3 and PM2,5 emissions from the main contributors, national air pollution control programmes should include measures applicable to the agricultural sector. These measures should be based on specific information and data, taking account of scientific progress and previous measures undertaken by Member States, and should be cost-effective. Member States should be entitled to implement measures other than those set out in this Directive with an equivalent level of environmental performance owning to specific national circumstances.
Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 1
Article 4 – paragraph 1
1. Member States shall, as a minimum, limit their annual anthropogenic emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds other than methane (NMVOC), ammonia (NH3), and particulate matter (PM2,5) and methane (CH4) in accordance with the national emission reduction commitments applicable from 2020 and 2030, as laid down in Annex II.
Amendment 170 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
Article 4 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
Without prejudice to paragraph 1, Member States shall take all the necessary measures not entailing disproportionate costs to limit their 2025 anthropogenic emissions of SO2, NOx, NMVOC, NH3, and PM2,5 and CH4. The levels of those emissions shall be determined on the basis of fuels sold, by a linear reduction trajectory established between their emission levels for 2020 and the emission levels defined by the emission reduction commitments for 2030.
