Uniform criteria on MC (e.g. 2.5 Euro/kg SO 2 and 5 Euro/kg NOx) difficult to apply Several measures already taken Burden sharing Flanders: transport Flanders: stationary Flanders: NH3 Conclusions

Ceramics: stringent ELVs (BAT+extra) More stringent ELV for waste incineration (NOx), SCIs and stationary engines Burden sharing Flanders: transport Flanders: stationary Flanders: NH3 Conclusions

(NEC-review: Quantify assumed reduction per MS of EU wide measures to be taken to reach ceilings) Quantify emissions/capita or /production and costs: assess BAT implementation, economic impact and distortion Burden sharing Flanders: transport Flanders: stationary Flanders: NH3 Conclusions
