Approbation de l’amendement au protocole de Göteborg du 1er décembre 1999, relatif à la réduction de l’acidification, de l’eutrophisation et de l’ozone troposphérique

This is a French National Assembly bill to ratify an amendment to the Gothenburg Protocol of 1 December 1999. The Protocol is part of the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and aims to reduce acidification, eutrophication and tropospheric ozone. These problems are caused by pollutants such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and volatile organic compounds, which travel across borders. Approval would allow France to take on the amendment's obligations under international law. The main effects fall on France as a state party and on the industries, farms and transport sectors that emit these pollutants. Those sectors could face emission reduction obligations once the amendment enters into force for France. This summary is based on the metadata only, not the full legislative text.
