Proposal for a directive
Recital 9

(9) Member States should comply with the emission reduction commitments set out in this Directive for 2020, 2025 and 2030. So as to ensure demonstrable 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 Directive.

Article 2 a (new)

Article 2a Aim of the Directive The aim of this Directive is to limit emissions of harmful, acidifying, eutrophying and ozone-forming air pollutants in order to effectively protect human health and the environment in the Union against risks of adverse effects from air pollutants, by achieving the long- term objective of not exceeding the World Health Organisation's air quality guidelines nor exceeding critical levels and loads for the protection of the environment, by establishing binding national emission reduction commitments for the years 2020, 2025 and 2030, and carrying out reviews in accordance with Article 10a.

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), particulate matter (PM2,5) and methane (CH4) in accordance with the national emission reduction commitments applicable from 2020, 2025 and 2030, as laid down in Annex II.

2. 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, 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. Where the emissions for 2025 cannot be limited in accordance with the determined trajectory, the Member States shall explain the reasons in their reports submitted to the Commission in accordance with Article 9.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 a (new)

This Directive aims at limiting atmospheric emissions of acidifying and eutrophying pollutants, ozone precursors, primary particulate matter and precursors of secondary particulate matter and other air pollutants, thereby contributing to: (a) the Union's long-term objective of achieving levels of air quality that do not give rise to significant negative impacts on and risks to human health and the environment, in line with guidelines of the World Health Organisation; (b) the achievement of EU biodiversity and ecosystem objectives by reducing the levels and deposition of acidifying and eutrophying pollutants, and other pollutants, including ground-level ozone, below critical loads and levels; (c) the achievement of the air quality objectives set in Union legislation; (d) the mitigation of climate change impacts by reducing emissions of short- lived climate pollutants; (e) the improvement of air quality globally.
