Polis&Eurocities Joint letter: Let’s tackle air pollution at all levels, starting now with the NEC Directive

Polis together with Eurocities sent an open letter to MEPs in order to vote for ambitious National Emission Ceiling Directive to tackle air pollution in urban areas.

In that perspective, both organization are calling for ambitious 2025 targets to limitate the emission ofParticulate Matters, Nitrogen Oxides and Ammonia. Furthermore, we also advocate for the implementation of Real Driving Emission Test procedure, which should reflect the reality in terms of pollutants emitted by cars. Europe should adopt an integrated approach in these issues.
