Paragraph 3 b (new)
3 b. Points out the importance of EU funding and knowledge of the correct procedures and eligibility criteria; considers the process of acquiring funding for clean air projects from EU funds overly difficult; points out that in the operational programmes for the large funding mechanisms (e.g. ERDF and Cohesion Funds), air quality tends to be considered mostly as an integrated measure within other priority areas (e.g. energy, waste, nature) rather than being targeted on its own and solely through priorities for air quality improvement and the attainment of air quality compliance;
