To provide a comparative analysis of the differences in obligations and provisions between the Air Convention Gothenburg Protocol and Directive (EU) 2016/2284 (NEC Directive).
European Commission – DG Environment
This project focussed on mapping the provisions of the NEC Directive and the Gothenburg Protocol including their annexes, which then informed a comparison of the differences, similarities and any inconsistencies between the instruments. This included identifying any overlapping reporting obligations and review processes.
Mapping of the obligations, flexibilities, exceptions, emission limit levels and values, reporting and review obligations and other provisions of the NEC Directive and amended GP;
Provision of a comparison of the differences and similarities between these two legal frameworks and any inconsistencies;
Analysis of the effect of these differences on a) the level of ambition of each of the two instruments; and b) administrative burden for Member States.

Always find those I work with very helpful and in particular make great effort to meet timescales, which are often very short.
