Strategy to reduce emissions of transboundary pollution by 2010 to comply with national emissions ceilings. Discussion paper

Ireland is committed to reducing emissions of four transboundary air pollutants under the Gothenburg Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-Level Ozone and EU Directive 2001/81/EC. This discussion paper aims to provide a better understanding of the scale of the reductions and serve as a basis for discussions between and within sectors, of the economically most efficient means to achieve Ireland's national targets. Deadline for receipt of responses: 15 September 2003.
