Recital 5
(5) As regards the year 2020 and thereafter, the revised Gothenburg Protocol accepted by the Council in Decision [xxxx/xxxx/EU]20 sets out new emission reduction commitments, taking the year 2005 as a base year, for each party regarding SO2, NOx, NH3, NMVOC and fine particulate matter (PM2,5), promotes emission reductions of black carbon and calls for the collection and keeping of information on the adverse effects of air pollutant concentrations and depositions on human health and the environment and participation in the effects-oriented programmes under the LRTAP Convention. However, the ratification of the revised Gothenburg Protocol is still pending at the European Parliament, the Council and a number of Member States. __________________ 20 Council Decision 2013/xxxx/EU on the acceptance of the Amendment to the 1999 Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long- Range Transboundary Air Pollution to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-Level Ozone (OJ L.. p,).

Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) Since 1990 ammonia emissions in the EU have been reduced by almost 30 %1a . When determining emission ceilings for NH3, previous efforts made by Member States to reduce NH3 in the agricultural sector should therefore be acknowledged. Furthermore, the emission ceilings on ammonia laid down in this Directive should not prescribe stricter abatement measures than what are considered as the Best Available Techniques conclusions on ammonia in the Reference Document for intensive poultry and pig rearing (BREF BAT) of the IED. Trade-offs with animal welfare should also be taken into account, such as free stables and pasturing which, though involving more emissions than closed stables, guarantee higher standards of animal welfare. _________________ 1aSee Eurostat leaflet about Agriculture, forestry and fishery statistics from 2013, pages 115 to 121.

12a. "EU source-based air pollution policies" means Regulations or Directives which, irrespectively from the obligations set out in those Regulations or Directives, have as a goal, whether partially or not, to reduce the emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), non- methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), ammonia (NH3), particulate matter (PM2,5) and methane (CH4), by undertaking mitigation measures at the source, including at least, but not exclusively, the reductions of emissions accomplished by: - Regulation 94/63; - Regulation 97/68; - Regulation 98/70; - Regulation 1999/32; - Regulation 2009/126; - Regulation 2004/42; - Regulation 2007/46/EG, including Directive 15/2007, Directive 79/2009, Directive 595/2009 and Directive 661/2009; - Regulation 2010/75; - Directive 167/2013; - Directive 168/2013; - Regulation 2014/94;

Article 4 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2 a (new)
Where those reasons, according to the Member State involved, consist in the failure to achieve the emission reductions that are intended, or should have been achieved according to paragraphs 1 or 2, by implementing the EU source-based air pollution policy, the Commission shall, within one year after the submission of the report by the Member State, present a proposal to adapt the national emission reduction commitments set out in Annex II".
