33As the Advocate General pointed out, in essence, in point 53 of her Opinion, the rules laid down in Directive 2008/50 on ambient air quality put into concrete terms the EU’s obligations concerning environmental protection and the protection of public health, which stem, inter alia, from Article 3(3) TEU and Article 191(1) and (2) TFEU, according to which Union policy on the environment is to aim at a high level of protection, taking into account the diversity of situations in the various regions of the European Union, and is to be based, inter alia, on the precautionary principle and on the principle that preventive action should be taken (judgment of 13 July 2017, Túrkevei Tejtermelő Kft., C‑129/16, EU:C:2017:547).
