Analysis done under the Commission’s Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) stakeholder programme, set up in 2001, has concluded that it will not be possible to fully reach the 6EAP’s objective by 2020 of addressing all significant health and environmental impacts of air pollution, even if all measures to improve air quality that are technically possible were taken with no regard to their cost. As an important step towards achieving the 6EAP objective in the longer term, the Strategy thus sets specific interim objectives for reducing air pollution impacts by 2020.
Étape cruciale pour réaliser l’objectif à long terme du 6PAE, la stratégie fixe donc des objectifs intermédiaires afin de réduire les incidences de la pollution atmosphérique d’ici à 2020.
