"Mr President, a number of key elements have been included in the overall compromise package that is now proposed.
I know that these elements were all-important to Parliament at first reading and in the committee this time round. I believe that the proposed current compromise will satisfy Parliament as important ground was won on the key principle of the ambitious yet realistic ambient air quality standard setting, with a clear roadmap including the adoption of the necessary Community measures and a well-defined review in 2013.
I am also particularly pleased to note the importance given by both Parliament and the Council to finding a compromise in this directive. The resulting compromise, as well as the demonstrated resolve, enables the European Union to take the effective next steps in ensuring healthier air for its citizens.
To conclude, the Commission is very pleased with the outcome of the negotiations. It can accept the proposed compromise amendments in full.
I wish to thank and to congratulate, once more, the rapporteur, Mr Krahmer, for all his efforts to reach an agreement at second reading.
Most importantly, it contains the following elements:
the time extension option for PM
is kept at the level of the common position; there can be no delay in taking the measures and a single step approach will reduce the administrative burden;
standards for particulate matter PM
are unchanged in accordance with the original Commission proposal;
a realistic and timely annual PM
target and a limit value set at 25 µg per cubic metre to be achieved at 2010 and 2015 respectively;
an indicative limit value for 2020 that adds to the ambitious PM
agenda for the mandatory review in 2013;
a legally binding exposure concentration obligation in 2015 that complements the exposure reduction target in triggering prompt measures that are expected to provide the maximum public health benefit; and
a Commission declaration on the progress in developing the Community measures at source.
The new recital 15 also strengthens the determination of the two co-legislators to consider as a matter of priority the legislative proposals put forward by the Commission to address emission at source at Community level."@en1
