Strasbourg, 10 December 2013: At the morning a five
meter big, inflatable lung was stationed in front of the entrance of the
European Parliament accompanied by a banner saying “Our lungs are in
your hands”. The action was organized by the European Environment
Bureau, the “Soot free for the climate” - campaign and the “Clean
Air”-project.
During the 2013 European “Year of Air”, the European Commission
committed to launch a package of new measures aimed at improving air
quality. The European “Year of Air” was officially closed at 10 December 2013 at a
conference hosted by the Commissioner for the Environment in Strasbourg
but still we haven’t seen a sign of the new package whose adoption was
delayed week after week. Therefore Members of the European Parliament in
cooperation with NGOs started an action asking for the Commission to
propose its package to the European Parliament as soon as possible and
to make sure that it will be ambitious enough.
