lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in order to meet the objectives for air emission levels prescribed in the Fifth Environmental Action Programme, we need this directive on emission ceilings more than anything. If we want to combat acidification, manure pollution and smog formation, we need to reduce the emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, ammonia and volatile organic substances. The Council’s conclusions concerning the EU acidification strategy have raised expectations which now have to be given substance. This could even be done in a cost-effective way, as is evident from the explanatory note to the Commission proposal. We all know by now that six months ago, higher emission levels were agreed at Gothenburg within a UN context. These values, however, are the result of a political compromise between states, and the results of the model used by the Commission have been overlooked. This model is sound and the results are well founded. Also in view of the fact that, with these emission ceilings, the objectives of the EU’s Fifth Environmental Action Programme still cannot be met, a relaxation of the values is unjustified. The first step towards achieving the emission ceilings is undoubtedly a dynamic implementation and enforcement of existing directives, such as the Auto-oil programme. In addition, we need to lay down new legislation in this field as soon as possible. In this connection, I would once more urge the Council to produce a common position on large furnaces as a matter of urgency. Finally, additional policy, for example in the field of volatile solvents used in paints and varnishes, as well as in car spraying, will continue to be necessary."@en1
