Met dank overgenomen van Europese Commissie (EC), gepubliceerd op woensdag 12 mei 2021.
ood afternoon everyone,
And thank you Executive Vice-President for showing importance of this initiative in a bigger picture of the European Green Deal.
Last year the Commission adopted the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. It was an early bird of our wider approach towards pollution issues.
Together with that strategy, today's plan translates our zero pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment into a tangible set of actions for air, water and soil.
It is needed because the EU and its Member States must ensure certain level of life quality for citizens who are now suffering from air and noise pollution.
