lpv:spoken text	"I support the amendments proposed for the 1998 Protocol. Particularly important amendments include the more flexible arrangements to be allowed for Parties that adopt the amended Protocol before 2020, which will encourage a swifter widespread implementation of it. Stricter restrictions on dust emissions from particular dominant stationary sources would also be an important step in preventing air pollution across the borders. Transboundary air pollution significantly affects countries across Europe – in recent years Ireland has fallen below the World Health Organisation guidelines on air pollution, with airflow coming from the Sahara desert to Ireland and polluting our air with dust. I agree with the rapporteur that the proposed amendments, if ratified, would be a triumph for each EU country’s environmental protection and public health levels."@en1
