Amendment 2

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9

Text proposed by the Commission

(9) Member States should comply with the emission reduction commitments set out in this Directive for 2020 and 2030. So as to ensure demonstrable progress towards the 2030 commitments, Member States should meet intermediate emission levels in 2025, set on the basis of a linear trajectory between their emission levels for 2020 and those defined by the emission reduction commitments for 2030, unless this would entail disproportionate costs. Where the 2025 emissions cannot be so limited, Member States should explain the reasons in their reports under this Directive.

Amendment

(9) Member States shall comply with the emission reduction commitments set out in this Directive for 2020, 2025 and 2030.

Justification

National emission reduction commitments should be binding also for 2025. Health, economic and environmental damage due to air pollution across the EU require much quicker action than 2030.
