Environment MEPs want stricter air pollutant caps

摘要

In a vote on 15 July, the European Parliament's Environment Committee agreed on tougher new national emission reduction commitments on air pollutants than those proposed by the European Commission. The vote was about the revision of the National Emission Ceilings (NEC) directive, which will set limits on emissions of pollutants in each of the 28 EU member countries for the years 2020, 2025 and 2030 (see AN 2/15).
