There are multiple benefits of reducing these SLCPs: • Reduce air pollution • Protect health and crops • Reduce regional impacts of climate change • Slow down near-term global warming

What can we do within the EU?
• The revised Gothenburg protocol May 2012 – a small step in the right direction
• In order to get EU on track for its long term tagets as expressed in the 6th EAP higher ambition level is urgently needed
• The revised NEC Directive could be a window of opportunity for health and environment within the EU

Expectations on the revised NECD
• Stricter ceilings for sulphur dioxid, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia and volatile organic compounds
• New ceilings for PM2,5/black carbon and methane
