- 2. 2Industrial Emissions DirectiveThe European Parliamentisdiscussing the Industrial Emissions Directive as adopted by the Council for the second reading.This Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) aims to protect all sorts of environments from industrial emissions, in a global framework of permits.In an optimizedapproach, with a view to sustainableenvironmental protection, the IED shouldtakeintoaccountthe differentlocal conditions (climate, topography) and differenttechnicalcharacteristicsof the plants and processes

- 9. prevention of accidents5Industrial Emissions DirectiveWhatis the basis of the 1996 IPPC Directive?There are four key strong principles:An integrated and combined approachThe use of Best Available Techniques (BAT) , The use of specific solutions adapted to the different environments and industrial plants The requirement of public consultation during permit process.Deadline for implementation was October 2007
- 10. 6Industrial Emissions DirectiveWhat are the keyelements of the IPPC directive?1) BREFs - The Seville Process produces the BREFs (Best available technique REFerence documents) for each industrial sector.The objective is to inform the relevant decision-makers about the Best Available Technique. They are produced by the Seville Process involving stakeholders.2) The BAT (Best Available Techniques) found in the BREFs are the most effective techniques that are technically and economically available to industry in order to achieve a high general level protection of the environment.
- 11. 7Industrial Emissions DirectiveWhat are the keyelementsin the IPPC directive?3) BATAELs (BATAssociated Emission Levels) are indicative emission levels (found in the BREFs) and relate to the efficiency of the techniques. They are to be used as a reference for establishing specific-siteEmission Limit Values. They do not take account of process fluctuations or specific circumstances. 4) ELVs (Emission Limit Values) are safeguards to prevent/minimise environmental impact at the site location. They are not set in the BREF documents. They are legallybinding.
- 12. 8Industrial Emissions DirectiveWhat are the keyelementsin the IPPC Directive?5) Techniques include both the technology used and the way in which the installation is designed built, maintained, quoted and decommissionned6) Available techniques: those developed on a sacle which allows implementation in the relevant industrial sectorunder economically and technicallyviable conditions, taking into consideration the costs and advantages, whether or not the techniques are used or produced inside the State in question, as long as they are accessible to the operator. 7) Best means most effective in achieving a high general level of protection for the environment as a whole
- 13. 9Industrial Emissions DirectiveWhatis the basis of the 1996 IPPC directive?There is one underlying approach:Both the industrial operator and the regulator must take an integrated overall look at the installations and all their environmental impacts, using the European BREF (technical reference document) as a guideline, when taking decisions on how the installations should be operated.Problem:an unevenimplementationacross States
