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.

Members from our Bronchiectasis and Asthma PAGs met online to chat with patient advocates of the TARIPH Patient Network in Singapore recently. It was a great opportunity to share experiences and ideas for growing patient voices in respiratory medicine in our different countries.

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.
