Att utse Östersjön till specialområde i fråga om kväveoxidutsläpp i HELCOM

This procedure concerns a proposal to designate the Baltic Sea as a special area under the HELCOM framework to regulate nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. The goal is to reduce air pollution and mitigate the environmental impact of maritime activities on the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Maritime transport operators and shipping companies operating in the Baltic Sea will be affected by stricter emission standards. These changes aim to improve regional air quality and protect marine environments.
