However, it should be noted that:

policies and measures included in the “with measures scenario” are not rendering an effect throughout the whole projected period (2001-2020)

both the “with measures” and the “with additional measures” scenarios are providing a relevant improvement in Spanish NOx emissions when compared to the BAU scenario.

4. MOTIVATED REASONS FOR NOT COMPLIYING AND

FUTURE PROSPECTS


* sustained high economic growth (4%) * unforeseen high population increase (5M more)* thus, higher energy growth than earlier expected

both describe trends in the last decade and have led to higher levels of air emissions and are reported also by TFIAM (UNECE) “CIAM report 2007” (page 29).

The likely causes for having a level of emissions which is not in compliance with our commitments under the NOx and VOC Protocols have to be placed in the perspective of the framework of:

5. BETTER PROSPECTS


NEW ACT ON AIR QUALITY AND PROTECTION OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SYSTEM PASSED NOVEMBER 2007

(Act 34/2007, NOVEMBER 15th, 2007)

New more stringent emission limit values will be enforced.

Traffic accounts for more than 34% of NOx emissions, hence:

The new law has introduced a new taxing system which promotes cleaner vehicles.
