(2) On 30 November 1999 the Executive Body to the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution adopted the Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone (Gothenburg Protocol); the Gothenburg Protocol sets maximum permitted levels of emissions (emission ceilings) for each national Party for the four main precursor pollutants responsible for acidification, eutrophication and ground-level ozone: sulphur dioxyde, oxides of nitrogen, volatile organic compounds and ammonia; these ceilings are to be met by 2010.

new air quality policy objectives for the period up to 2030; a revised National Emission Ceilings Directive (Directive 2016/2284/EU) with stricter national emission ceilings for the five main pollutants (Sulphur dioxide (SO2), NOx, non-methane Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), NH3 and Particulate Matter (PM2.5).Implementation of the new Directive will cut the annual 400.000 premature deaths caused by air pollution in the EU by about half by 2030. a new Directive (Directive 2015/2193/EU) to reduce pollution from medium-sized combustion installations.

The 2013 Clean Air Programme for Europe, which updates the 2005 EU Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution to set new strategic policy objectives for 2020 and 2030; The new National Emission Ceilings Directive (NEC Directive), which is the main legislative implementation of the new objectives, setting caps on national pollution of the main air pollutants; The Ambient Air Quality Directives, setting local air quality limits which may not be exceeded anywhere in the EU – they were not revised in the 2013 review. Source-specific legislation designed to limit emissions from specific economic sectors, such as the Industrial Emissions Directive ( ...[+++]IED), the new Medium Combustion Plants Directive, the Euro standards for vehicles, energy efficiency standards, fuel standards for ships, etc.

Important aspects in this regard are ensuring that NCAs can impose effective civil/administrative fines on undertakings and associations of undertakings for breaches of the EU competition rules; ensuring that basic fining rules are in place taking into account gravity and duration of the infringement and foreseeing a uniform legal maximum; and ensuring that fines can be imposed on undertakings, in line with the constant case law of the EU courts, in particular, on issues such as parental liability and succession.
