# Directive 2001/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants, Annex I

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

NATIONAL EMISSION CEILINGS FOR SO 2 , NO x , VOC AND NH 3 , TO BE ATTAINED BY 2010
These national emission ceilings are designed with the aim of broadly meeting the interim environmental objectives set out in Article 5. Meeting those objectives is expected to result in a reduction of soil eutrophication to such an extent that the area of the Union with depositions of nutrient nitrogen in excess of the critical loads will be reduced by about 30 % compared with the situation in 1990.
These national emission ceilings are temporary and are without prejudice to the review according to Article 10 of this Directive, which is to be completed in 2008.
The national emission ceilings for Croatia are to be attained by the date of its accession to the Union.
