ERS welcomes the landmark vote in European Parliament to adopt the provisional trilogue agreement on the EU #AAQD revision, a major step towards delivering clean air for all in Europe.

Member states must now adopt this deal to improve #airquality for all Europeans.

Fantastic news today from @EuropeanParliament who have voted in favour of the trilogue deal on the Ambient Air Quality Directive ( #AAQD ) revision. This is a huge milestone for cleaner air and better health.

As part of the EU health community, we have signed a joint statement that provides key recommendations to ensure the EHDS will be implemented in a way that provides most added value for patients and European health systems.
