B. TEKST

De Engelse en de Franse tekst van het Protocol, met bijlagen, zijn geplaatst in Trb. 2000, 66.

Tijdens de dertigste zitting van het Uitvoerend Orgaan gehouden te Genève van 30 april tot en met 4 mei 2012, hebben de Partijen in overeenstemming met artikel 13, tweede lid, van het Protocol een Besluit aangenomen tot wijziging van bijlage I bij het Protocol en een Besluit tot wijziging van de tekst van het Protocol en de bijlagen II tot en met IX bij het Protocol en tot toevoeging van de nieuwe bijlagen X en XI.

De Engelse1) tekst van de Besluiten luidt als volgt:

Amendment of annex I to the 1999 Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-Level Ozone

The Parties to the 1999 Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone, meeting within the thirtieth session of the Executive Body,

Decide to amend annex I to the 1999 Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone (Gothenburg Protocol) to the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution as follows:

Article 1 Amendment of annex I

1. In paragraph 1:

a) The words “Manual on methodologies and criteria for mapping critical levels/loads and geographical areas where they are exceeded” are replaced by the words “Manual on Methodologies and Criteria for Modelling and Mapping Critical Loads and Levels and Air Pollution Effects, Risks and Trends (available online at www.icpmapping.org/)”;

b) The words “do not” at the end of the fourth sentence are replaced by the words “are loads that – in the long term – will not cause adverse effects to the structure and functions of ecosystems”;

c) The words “, such as uptake by vegetation” are added at the end of the fifth sentence; and

d) The words “, and approved by the Executive Body,” are added after the word “Parties” in the final sentence.

2. For paragraph 2 the following text is substituted:

2. In Canada, critical acid deposition loads and geographical areas where they are exceeded are determined and mapped for lakes and upland forest ecosystems using scientific methodologies and criteria similar to those in the Convention’s Manual on Methodologies and Criteria for Modelling and Mapping Critical Loads and Levels and Air Pollution Effects, Risks and Trends. Critical load values for total sulphur plus nitrogen and exceedance levels have been mapped across Canada (south of 60° N latitude) and are expressed in acid equivalents per hectare per year (eq/ha/yr) (2004 Canadian Acid Deposition Science Assessment; 2008 Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment). The province of Alberta has also adapted the generic critical load classification systems used for soils in Europe for potential acidity to define soils as highly sensitive, moderately sensitive and not sensitive to acidic deposition. Critical, target and monitoring loads are defined for each soil class and management actions are prescribed as per the Alberta Acid Deposition Management Framework, as appropriate.

3. In paragraph 3:

a) The words “and response” are inserted after the word “sensitivity”;

b) The words “, the total loading within ecosystems” are replaced by the words “to the loading”;

c) The words “using peer-reviewed scientific methodologies and criteria,” are inserted after the word “compounds,”;

d) The words “the uncertainty” are replaced by the words “accounting for the uncertainties”; and

e) The word “removal” is replaced by the word “cycling”.

4. In paragraph 4, the word “modelling” is replaced by the words “activities, including providing data for international efforts to assess ecosystem response to loading of acidifying compounds,”.

5. In the heading before paragraph 5, “A.” is inserted before the words “For Parties within the geographical scope of EMEP”.

6. In paragraph 5:

b) The words “an ecosystem can tolerate in the long term without being damaged” are replaced by the words “that – in the long term – will not cause adverse effects to the structure and functions of ecosystems”.

7. A new Part B and paragraph 5 bis are added as follows:

B. For Parties in North America

5 bis. For the United States of America, the effects of nutrient nitrogen (eutrophication) for ecosystems are evaluated through an assessment of the sensitivity and response of ecosystems to the loading of nitrogen compounds, using peer-reviewed scientific methodologies and criteria, and accounting for uncertainties associated with nitrogen cycling within ecosystems.

8. For paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 the following text is substituted:

6. Critical levels (as defined in article 1) of ozone are determined to protect plants in accordance with the Convention’s Manual on Methodologies and Criteria for Modelling and Mapping Critical Loads and Levels and Air Pollution Effects, Risks and Trends. They are expressed in terms of the cumulative value of either stomatal fluxes or concentrations at the top of the canopy. Critical levels are preferably based on stomatal fluxes, as these are considered more biologically relevant since they take into account the modifying effect of climate, soil and plant factors on the uptake of ozone by vegetation.
7. Critical levels of ozone have been derived for a number of species of crops, (semi-) natural vegetation and forest trees. The critical levels selected are related to the most important environmental effects, e.g., loss of security of food supplies, loss of carbon storage in the living biomass of trees and adverse effects on forest and (semi-)natural ecosystems.
8. The critical level of ozone for human health is determined in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines to protect human health from a wide range of health effects, including increased risk of premature death and morbidity.

9. For paragraph 9 the following text is substituted:

9. For Canada, it is understood that there is no lower threshold for human health effects from ozone. That is, adverse effects have been observed at all ozone concentrations experienced in Canada. The Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone was set to aid management efforts nationally, and by jurisdictions, to significantly reduce the effects on human health and the environment.

10. In paragraph 10:

a) The words “of ozone are determined” are replaced by the words “are established in the form of national ambient air quality standards for ozone in order”;

b) The comma after the word “safety” is replaced by the word “and”;

c) The words “, including vegetation,” are inserted after the word “welfare”;

d) The words “, and are used to establish a national ambient air quality standard” at the end of the first sentence are deleted; and

e) The word “standard” in the last sentence is replaced by the word “standards”.

11. New sections IV, V and VI are added as follows:

IV. CRITICAL LEVELS OF PARTICULATE MATTER

A. For Parties in the geographical scope of EMEP

11. The critical level of particulate matter (PM) for human health is determined in accordance with the WHO air quality guidelines as the mass concentration of PM_2.5 (particles with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm). Attainment of the guideline level is expected to effectively reduce health risks. The long-term PM_2.5 concentration, expressed as an annual average, is proportional to the risk to health, including reduction of life expectancy. This indicator is used in integrated modelling to provide guidance for emission reduction. In addition to the annual guideline level, a short-term (24-hour mean) guideline level is defined to protect against peaks of pollution which have significant impact on morbidity or mortality.

B. For Parties in North America

12. For the United States of America, critical levels are established in the form of national ambient air quality standards for PM in order to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety, and to protect public welfare (including visibility and man-made materials) from any known or expected adverse effects. Integrated assessment modelling and the air quality standards are used in providing guidance for setting the emission ceilings and/or reductions for the United States of America in annex II.
13. For Canada, it is understood that there is no lower threshold for human health effects from PM. That is, adverse effects have been observed at all concentrations of PM experienced in Canada. The Canadian national standard for PM was set to aid management efforts nationally, and by jurisdictions, to significantly reduce the effects on human health and the environment.

V. CRITICAL LEVELS OF AMMONIA

14. Critical levels (as defined in article 1) of ammonia are determined to protect plants in accordance with the Convention’s Manual on Methodologies and Criteria for Modelling and Mapping Critical Loads and Levels and Air Pollution Effects, Risks and Trends.

VI. ACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF AIR POLLUTANTS TO PROTECT MATERIALS

15. Acceptable levels of acidifying pollutants, ozone and PM are determined to protect materials and cultural heritage in accordance with the Convention’s Manual on Methodologies and Criteria for Modelling and Mapping Critical Loads and Levels and Air Pollution Effects, Risks and Trends. The acceptable levels of pollutants are the maximum exposure a material can tolerate in the long term without resulting in damage above specified target corrosion rates. This damage, which can be calculated by available dose-response functions, is the result of several pollutants acting together in different combinations depending on the material: acidity (sulphur dioxide (SO₂), nitric acid (HNO₃)), ozone and PM.

Article 2 Entry Into Force

12. In accordance with article 13, paragraph 4, of the Protocol, this amendment shall become effective for those Parties which have not submitted a notification to the Depositary in accordance with article 13, paragraph 5, of the Protocol on the expiry of ninety days from the date of its communication to all Parties by the Executive Secretary of the Commission.

c) The 1991 Geneva Protocol concerning the Control of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds or their Transboundary Fluxes;
d) The 1994 Oslo Protocol on Further Reduction of Sulphur Emissions.]9)

Annex II

For annex II the following text is substituted:

Emission ceilings for 2010 and emission reduction obligations for 2020 and beyond

1. The emission ceilings and emission reduction obligations listed in the tables below relate to the provisions of article 3, paragraphs 1 and 10, of the revised Gothenburg Protocol.
2. Table 1 includes the emission ceilings for 2010 and beyond expressed in thousands of metric tons for those Parties that ratified the Gothenburg Protocol.
3. Tables 2-6 include emission reduction obligations for sulphur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NO_x, ammonia (NH₃), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter equal to or less than 2.5 μm (PM_2.5) for 2020 and beyond. These obligations are expressed in the percentage reduction from the 2005 level (the 2005 level minus the 2020 level divided by the 2005 level).
4. The 2005 emission levels listed in tables 2-6 are given for information purposes only. Emission levels for 2005 are in metric tons and are based on the emissions officially reported [by Parties] to EMEP in 2012. The 2005 emission data is provisional and will be updated by the Parties when better information becomes available in later years.

[Data for 2005 have been preliminary taken from the CIAM report 4/2011. Data in italics are taken from the EMEP Status report 1/2011. Emission data from CIAM are based on fuels sold and on harmonised “real world” emission factors for vehicles in the geographical scope of EMEP. NO_x-emissions from agricultural soils and VOC-emissions from crops were excluded - delete].
5. If a Party finds that the 2005 data were exceptional, due to a particularly cold winter, a particularly dry summer or unforeseen variations in economic activities, such as a loss of capacity in the power supply system domestically or in a neighbouring country, it may present an alternative level by averaging its national annual emissions for 2004, 2005 and 2006 and report the reasons and the method used to achieve the three-year average to the Implementation Committee.

6. If in a given year [before 2025 - delete] a Party finds that, due to a particularly cold winter, a particularly dry summer or unforeseen variations in economic activities, such as a loss of capacity in the power supply system domestically or in a neighbouring country, it cannot comply with its obligations for 2020 and beyond, it may fulfil those obligations by averaging its national annual emissions for the year in question, the year preceding that year and the year following it, provided that the emission level in any single year is not more than 20 per cent above the emission ceiling. The reason for exceedance in any given year and the method by which the three-year average figure will be achieved shall be reported to the Implementation Committee.

2. For the purpose of this section “emission limit value” (ELV) means the quantity of SO₂ (or SO_x, where mentioned as such) contained in the waste gases from an installation that is not to be exceeded. Unless otherwise specified, it shall be calculated in terms of mass of SO₂ (SO_x) per volume of the waste gases (expressed as mg/m³), assuming standard conditions for temperature and pressure for dry gas (volume at 273.15 K, 101.3 kPa). With regard to the oxygen content of the waste gas, the values given in the tables below for each source category shall apply. Dilution for the purpose of lowering concentrations of pollutants in waste gases is not permitted. Start-up, shutdown and maintenance of equipment are excluded.
3. Compliance with ELVs, minimum desulphurization rates, sulphur recovery rates and sulphur content limit values shall be verified:
- a) Emissions shall be monitored through measurements or through calculations achieving at least the same accuracy. Compliance with ELVs shall be verified through continuous or discontinuous measurements, type approval, or any other technically sound method including verified calculation methods. In case of continuous measurements, compliance with the ELV is achieved if the validated monthly emission average does not exceed the limit value, unless otherwise specified for the individual source category. In case of discontinuous measurements or other appropriate determination or calculation procedures, compliance with the ELV is achieved if the mean value based on an appropriate number of measurements under representative conditions does not exceed the ELV. The inaccuracy of the measurement methods may be taken into account for verification purposes;
- b) In case of combustion plants applying the minimum rates of desulphurization set out in paragraph 5.1 (b), the sulphur content of the fuel shall also be regularly monitored and the competent authorities shall be informed of substantial changes in the type of fuel used. The desulphurization rates shall apply as monthly average values;
- c) Compliance with the minimum sulphur recovery rate shall be verified through regular measurements or any other technically sound method;
- d) Compliance with the sulphur limit values for gas oil shall be verified through regular targeted measurements.
4. Monitoring of relevant polluting substances and measurements of process parameters, as well as the quality assurance of automated measuring systems and the reference measurements to calibrate those systems, shall be carried out in accordance with European Committee for Standardization (CEN) standards. If CEN standards are not available, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, national or international standards which will ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality shall apply.
5. The following subparagraphs set out special provisions for combustion plants referred to in paragraph 7.
- 5.1 The competent authority may grant derogation from the obligation to comply with the emission limit values provided for in paragraph 7 in the following cases:
  - [a) For a combustion plant which to this end normally uses low-sulphur fuel, in cases where the operator is unable to comply with those limit values because of an interruption in the supply of low-sulphur fuel resulting from a serious shortage;]
  - [b) For a combustion plant firing indigenous solid fuel, which cannot comply with the emission limit values provided for in paragraph 7, instead at least the following limit values for the rates of desulphurization have to be met:
    - (i) Existing plants: 50-100 MWth: 80%;
    - (ii) Existing plants: 100-300 MWth: 90%;
    - (iii) Existing plants: > 300 MWth: 95%;
    - (iv) New plants: 50-300 MWth: 93%;
    - (v) New plants: > 300 MW: 97%;]
  - [c) For combustion plants normally using gaseous fuel which have to resort exceptionally to the use of other fuels because of a sudden interruption in the supply of gas and for this reason would need to be equipped with a waste gas purification facility;]
  - d) [For existing combustion plants not operated more than 17,500 operating hours, starting from 1 January 2016 and ending no later than 31 December 2023;]
    
    [For existing combustion plants using solid or liquid fuels not operated more than 1,500 operating hours per year as a rolling average over a period of five years], instead the following ELVs apply:
    - (i) For solid fuels: 800 mg/m³;
    - (ii) For liquid fuels: 850 mg/m³ for plants with a rated thermal input not exceeding 300 MWth and 400 mg/m³ for plants with a rated thermal input greater than 300 MWth.]
- 5.2 Where a combustion plant is extended by at least 50 MWth, the ELV specified in paragraph 7 for new installations shall apply to the extensional part affected by the change. The ELV is calculated as an average weighted by the actual thermal input for both the existing and the new part of the plant.
- 5.3 Parties shall ensure that provisions are made in the permits for procedures relating to malfunction or breakdown of the abatement equipment.
- 5.4 In the case of a multi-fuel firing combustion plant involving the simultaneous use of two or more fuels, the competent authority shall determine the ELV as the weighted average of the ELVs for the individual fuels, on the basis of the thermal input delivered by each fuel.
6. Parties may apply rules by which combustion plants and process plants within a mineral oil refinery may be exempted from compliance with the individual SO₂ limit values set out in this annex, provided that they are complying with a bubble SO₂ limit value determined on the basis of the best available techniques.

The total limit values are expressed in terms of mass of organic solvent (g) emitted in relation to the surface area of product (m²). The surface area of the product is defined as the surface area calculated from the total electrophoretic coating area and the surface area of any parts that might be added in successive phases of the coating process which are coated with the same coatings. The surface of the electrophoretic coating area is calculated using the formula: (2 x total weight of product shell)/(average thickness of metal sheet x density of metal sheet). The total ELVs defined in the table above refer to all process stages carried out at the same installation from electrophoretic coating, or any other kind of coating process through the final wax and polish of top-coating inclusive, as well as solvent used in cleaning of process equipment, including spray booths and other fixed equipment, both during and outside of production time.

For existing plants achieving these levels may entail cross-media effects, high capital costs and long payback periods. Major step decreases in VOC emissions necessitate changing the type of paint system and/or the paint application system and/or the drying system and this usually involves either a new installation or a complete refurbishment of a paint shop and requires significant capital investment.

Measures for the control of emissions of ammonia from agricultural sources

1. This annex applies to Parties that are subject to obligations in article 3, paragraphs 8 (a) and (b), in accordance with the timescales established in annex VII.

Part A

2. This part of this annex describes the minimum measures for the control of ammonia emissions. These minimum measures can be reached by using the techniques for preventing and reducing ammonia emissions, according to the specifications listed in guidance adopted by the Executive Body.
3. When taking the minimum measures for the control of ammonia emissions, due account shall be taken of the need to reduce losses from the whole nitrogen cycle. Efforts shall be made to develop strategies for increasing nitrogen-use efficiency in crop and animal production. A high nitrogen-use efficiency is indicative for low nitrogen losses, low risk of pollution swapping and a high economic return on farm expenditure on nitrogen.
4. The provisions set out in paragraphs 10 to 18 apply to farms with more than 2,000 places for fattening pigs or 750 places for sows or 40,000 places for poultry.
5. All available on-farm nitrogen sources shall be assessed with the aim of ensuring the effective use of those sources in order to reduce emissions.

Advisory code of good agricultural practice

6. An advisory code of good agricultural practice to control ammonia emissions shall be established, published and disseminated, based on the Framework Code for Good Agricultural Practice for Reducing Ammonia Emissions, adopted by the Executive Body at its nineteenth session (EB.AIR/WG.5/2001/7) and any amendment thereto. The advisory code shall take into account the specific conditions within the territory of the Party and shall include provisions on the following items:
- a) Nitrogen management, taking into account the full nitrogen cycle;
- b) Livestock feeding strategies;
- c) Low-emission manure spreading approaches;
- d) Low-emission manure storage systems;
- e) Low-emission manure processing and composting systems;
- f) Low-emission animal housing systems;
- g) Possibilities for limiting ammonia emissions from the use of mineral fertilizers.
7. The advisory code shall be reviewed and, where necessary, updated at least every eight years and whenever the framework code is revised; it shall take into account the most recent insights and developments related to ammonia emissions abatement. The code should be as far as feasible linked to or integrated within other codes of good agricultural practices describing good management of the overall nitrogen cycle.

Urea and ammonium carbonate fertilizers

8. The use of ammonium carbonate fertilizers shall be prohibited.
9. Steps shall be taken to limit ammonia emissions from the use of solid fertilizers based on urea as far as the Party in question considers them feasible. For field application of fertilizers based on urea, approaches should be used as listed in the guidance that have been shown to reduce ammonia emissions compared with the reference specified in the guidance, as far as the Party in question considers them applicable.

Livestock feeding strategies

10. Low-protein feeding strategies shall be used on all farms where animals are housed and where the diet is largely based on concentrate feed, as specified in the Guidance Document.

Animal housing

11. For animal housing, systems shall be used (as listed in the Guidance Document) that have been shown to reduce emissions as specified in table 1 below.

Table 1 Ammonia emission reduction requirements for animal housing
Category	Minimum emission reduction compared with the reference 1)_a	Exemptions/conditions
Existing pig and poultry housing	15%

New or largely rebuilt pig housing 2)	20% for mating/gestating sows 25% for growers/finishers 50% for farrowing sows 25% for weaners

³⁾

A type of climate characterized by hot, dry, sunny summers and a winter rainy season.

Manure storage outside of animal houses

12. For new slurry stores outside of animal houses, low-emission storage systems or techniques shall be used that have been shown to reduce ammonia emissions by 40 per cent or more compared with the reference, as listed in the guidance.
13. For existing slurry stores on farms, low-emission storage systems or techniques shall be used that have been shown to reduce ammonia emissions by 40 per cent as compared with the reference described in the guidance. For existing very large lagoons, ammonia emission reductions of 40 per cent should be achieved, as far as the Party considers it technically and economically feasible.
14. For existing and new stores for solid manure, low-emission storage systems such as described in the guidance should be used, so far as the Party considers them technically and economically feasible.
15. As far as technically and economically feasible, all livestock farms should have sufficient manure storage capacity to allow manure to be applied at times most suitable for crop growth.

Manure processing and composting

16. Whenever manure-processing and composting systems are used, these should be low-emission systems, as far as a Party considers it is feasible.

Manure application

17. For slurry and solid manure application, approaches shall be used as listed in the guidance that have been shown to reduce emissions as specified in table 2 below. This provision applies to the land application of slurry and solid manure from the farms described in paragraph 4 to both arable land and grassland as far as a Party considers them applicable, taking account of local soil and geomorphological conditions and farm structure.
18. Solid manure applied to land to be ploughed shall be incorporated within 12 hours of spreading as far as a Party considers this measure applicable, taking account of local soil and geomorphological conditions and farm structure.

When using existing mobile slurry tankers and solid manure spreaders having less than 3m³ capacity, this requirement applies only as far as the Party considers it feasible.

19. For farm installations not covered by paragraph 4, low-emission slurry application techniques (as listed in the guidance) that have been shown to reduce emissions by at least 30 per cent compared with the reference specified in that guidance shall be used as far as the Party in question considers them applicable, taking account of local soil and geomorphological conditions, slurry type and farm structure.

Part B (recommendatory)

20. The provisions laid out in this part of this annex describe the minimum measures that can be undertaken as far as the Party in question considers them applicable for the control of ammonia emissions.

National nitrogen budgets and farm-level balances

21. National nitrogen budgets for agriculture should be established as far as is technically feasible, based on available statistics every five years in order to monitor the changes in overall losses of reactive nitrogen from agriculture, including emissions of ammonia and nitrous oxide to air and the leaching of N to groundwater and surface water.
22. Farm-level input-output balances can be established on all farms. These input-output balances can be used to show a relative improvement until a level of high efficiency is achieved, as specified in the guidance.

Ammonium sulphate and ammonium phosphate based fertilizers

23. For fertilizers based predominantly on ammonium sulphate or ammonium phosphate, when applied to calcareous soils approaches can be used as listed in the guidance that have been shown to reduce mean ammonia emissions as compared with the reference specified in the guidance.

Measures for the control of ammonia emissions from cattle farms

24. Recognizing that cattle farms [with greater than 50 animals] are a significant source of ammonia emissions, Parties are recommended to take the following priority measures, as listed in paragraphs 25 to 31, on such farms on the basis of the measures identified in the guidance.

Livestock feeding strategies

25. Low-protein feeding strategies should be used on all farms where animals are housed and where the diet is largely based on concentrate feed as specified in the guidance.

Animal housing

26. For animal housing, systems can be used as listed in the guidance that have been shown to reduce emissions compared with the reference specified in the guidance. Measures should be targeted in particular towards new or largely rebuilt housing.

Manure storage outside of animal houses

27. For slurry stores and very large lagoons outside of animal houses, low-emission storage systems or techniques should be used that have been shown to reduce ammonia emissions compared with the reference specified in the guidance.
28. For existing and new stores for solid manure, low-emission storage systems such as described in the guidance should be used, so far as the Party considers them technically and economically feasible.
29. As far as technically and economically feasible, all livestock farms should have sufficient manure storage capacity to allow manure to be applied at times most suitable for crop growth.

Manure processing and composting

30. Whenever manure-processing and composting systems are used, these should be low-emission systems, as far as it is considered feasible.

Manure application

31. Solid manure applied to land to be ploughed should be incorporated within 12 hours of spreading, as far as a Party considers this measure applicable, taking account of local soil and geomorphological conditions and farm structure.

3. For the purpose of this section, “emission limit value” (ELV) means the quantity of dust contained in the waste gases from an installation that is not to be exceeded. Unless otherwise specified, it shall be calculated in terms of mass of pollutant per volume of the waste gases (expressed as mg/m³), assuming standard conditions for temperature and pressure for dry gas (volume at 273.15 K, 101.3 kPa). With regard to the oxygen content of waste gas, the values given in the tables below for each source category shall apply. Dilution for the purpose of lowering concentrations of pollutants in waste gases is not permitted. Start-up, shutdown and maintenance of equipment are excluded.
4. Emissions shall be monitored in all cases via measurements or through calculations achieving at least the same accuracy. Compliance with limit values shall be verified through continuous or discontinuous measurements, type approval, or any other technically sound method including verified calculation methods. In case of continuous measurements, compliance with the limit value is achieved if the validated monthly emission average does not exceed the ELV. In case of discontinuous measurements or other appropriate determination or calculation procedures, compliance with the ELVs is achieved if the mean value based on an appropriate number of measurements under representative conditions does not exceed the value of the emission standard. The inaccuracy of measurement methods may be taken into account for verification purposes.
5. Monitoring of relevant polluting substances and measurements of process parameters, as well as the quality assurance of automated measuring systems and the reference measurements to calibrate those systems, shall be carried out in accordance with CEN standards. If CEN standards are not available, ISO standards, national or international standards which will ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality shall apply.
6. Special provisions for combustion plants referred to in paragraph 7:
- 6.1 The competent authority may grant derogation from the obligation to comply with the ELVs provided for in paragraph 7 in the following cases:
  - [a) For combustion plants normally using gaseous fuel which have to resort exceptionally to the use of other fuels because of a sudden interruption in the supply of gas and for this reason would need to be equipped with a waste gas purification facility];
  - [b) For existing combustion plants not operated more than 17,500 operating hours, starting from 1 January 2016 and ending no later than 31 December 2023.]
- 6.2 Where a combustion plant is extended by at least 50 MWth, the ELV specified in paragraph 7 for new installations shall apply to the extensional part affected by the change. The ELV is calculated as an average weighted by the actual thermal input for both the existing and the new part of the plant.
- 6.3 Parties shall ensure that provisions are made in the permits for procedures relating to malfunction or breakdown of the abatement equipment.
- 6.4 In the case of a multi-fuel firing combustion plant involving the simultaneous use of two or more fuels, the competent authority shall determine the ELV as the weighted average of the ELVs for the individual fuels, on the basis of the thermal input delivered by each fuel.

The conversion factor from the limit values in the current Protocol (at 5% oxygen content) is 2,66 (16/6).

Thus, the limit value of:

· 190 mgNm³ at 15% O₂ corresponds to 500 mg/Nm³ at 5% O₂,
· 95 mg/Nm³ at 15% O₂ corresponds to 250 mg/Nm³ at 5% O₂,
· 225 mg/Nm³ at 15% O₂ corresponds to 600 mg/Nm³ at 5% O₂.

The EU proposes to move paragraph 15 into a separate annex or separate part of this annex, with a non-mandatory character and to select one option, which could be in the ambitious range (1 to 2) as a recommendation.

¹⁸⁾

Belarus believes that further clarification is required to ensure consistency between the figures in tables 12 and 13 with regard to wood burning stoves. Furthermore, the figures proposed in tables 12 and 14 under both options 2 and 3 are considered to be too ambitious.
