The draft National program on reduction of pollutants emissions from the point and mobile sources by 2015 has established emission projections for the NEC Directive substances and other pollutants for 2010 and 2015:

Pollutant	National emissions ceiling for 2010 (Gg)	Emission projection 2010	Emission projection 2015
SO2	100	80.4	43.4
NOx	60	38.6	36.2
NMVOC	49	40.7	41.7
NH3	29	8.8	7.3
TSP	NA*	25.5	23.3
PM1-	NA	17.3	16.5
PM_2.5	NA	14.8	14.6

Pollutant	National emissions ceiling for 2010	Emission projection 2010	Emission projection 2015
Pb, Mg	NA	39.1	34.6
Cd, Mg	NA	0.6	0.5
Hg, Mg	NA	0.6	0.5
Dioxin, g I-TEQ	NA	3.5	3.46
