Ambient air quality is a vital factor in the health and quality of life of Europe’s citizens.
This proposal is therefore of the highest importance. As part of the drive to simplify environmental legislation, it brings five of the existing provisions on air quality under one single directive. It also proposes more ambitious targets than the existing provisions.
We therefore endorse the introduction of new objectives for PM10 and, above all, the setting of target values for PM2.5, which is considered the most harmful particle matter to human health, but which is yet to be covered by European-level legislation.
We tabled a number of amendments introducing measures such as a five-yearly review of the Directive in order that the most up-to-date scientific findings can be taken on board, air quality guarantees, the exclusion of certain areas that we do not consider relevant because they have little public access or are already subject to proper checks, and, lastly, the simplification of roadside measuring criteria.
The Portuguese Social Democrat MEPs support the Krahmer report, with the above amendments."@en1
