The Regulation prescribes the maximum permissible emission into the air in the State for the air pollutants and groups of substances referred to in Paragraph 4 of this Regulation. The total maximum permissible emission into the air in the State for the pollutants and groups of pollutants referred to in Paragraph 4 of this Regulation must be determined, taking into account all the emissions in the territory of Latvia and its exclusive economic zone, except for emissions from international maritime traffic; and aircraft emissions beyond the landing and take-off cycle. Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre, on the basis of the methodologies and guidelines agreed upon by the Member States of the 1979 Geneva Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution prepares and submits state emission inventories and projections.
