-Within the scope of the LRTAP Convention, the Federal Republic of Germany was obliged to reduce emissions of NO<sub>x</sub> to the 1987 level of 3,177kt by 1994. However, this value is inconsistent with the time series data after 1990 because, for example, it does not include any emissions from the agricultural sector. But emissions were successfully reduced by close to 30% to 2,255 kt in this period, exceeding the obligatory requirements of the protocol and also meeting the additional voluntary commitment that was entered into by Germany and 11 other ECE countries (reduction of NOx emissions before 1998 by 30% compared to 1986 levels).+Within the scope of the LRTAP Convention, the Federal Republic of Germany was obliged to reduce emissions of NO<sub>x</sub> to the 1987 level of 3,177kt by 1994.

 More recently, Germany has made a commitment under the multicomponent protocol to further minimise NO<sub>x</sub> emissions. By 2010, it will no longer be permissible to exceed a National Emission Ceiling of 1,081kt NO<sub>x</sub> for Germany as whole. The revised Gothenburg Protocol and the revised NEC Directive both define emission reduction targets relative to a 2005 base year, mandating 39% (2020) and 65% (2030) reductions respectively. More recently, Germany has made a commitment under the multicomponent protocol to further minimise NO<sub>x</sub> emissions.
