Ella was only 9 years old when she succumbed to an asthma attack linked to the illegal levels of air pollution in the United Kingdom. Rosamund Kissi-Debrah, her mother, has since been fighting to have the authorities recognise the role that air pollution played in this tragedy, and launched a campaign for clean air.

Air pollution has no borders, and EU clean air policies are a great example of European added value. Rosamund comes to Brussels to launch an initiative to defend EU clean air policies against recent attacks from the car industry and the German government.
