The context Air quality and lorry emissions • Road transport remains an important cause of air pollution in Europe • It is : • the largest contributer to NOX emissions ; • the second largest for PM • To meet the ambition level of the Thematic Strategy on Air Pollution, further reductions on both pollutants are needed
Air quality NOX - Belgium Source: CELINE
Air quality PM 2.5 - Walloon region Source: MRW – DGRNE – DPA ( cellule air )
Compatibility with Clean air strategy ? ( Directive 1999/30/EC ) Limit values in ambient air (Directive 1999/30/EC ) Time basis Limit value ( µg/m³ ) PM 10 ( 2005 ) 24 hours 50 1 year 40 PM 10 ( 2010 ) 24 hours 50 1 year 20 NO2 ( 2010 ) 1 hour 200 1 year 40
NGO’s comments • Timing • Entry into force in two steps ( April 2013 and October 2014 ) • Fleet renewal delay ... • TOO LATE ( not in phase with air quality legislation ) • We ask for entry into force in January 2012 • Particle number count • CE will introduce particulate number standard and, if needed, NO2 limit ( within NOX ) • GOOD THING ( smallest particulates most damaging for health ) • BUT why wait till the end of PMP ?
