- 1. If economy has to rhyme ... ...with ecology Building sustainable environment protection through a sound Industrial Emissions Directive
- 2. The Industrial Emissions Directive debate Based on the experience of previous legislation aimed at managing all types of pollution arising from industrial as well as agricultural activities, European Institutions have built the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) to further improve environment protection, in a European- wide framework. IED will cover very different activities and environments. Cefic, the European Chemical Industry Council, wishes then to contribute to meeting this higher but sustainable level of environment protection. People on the ground must play their role, in particular for setting the pace. If implementation is too quick, costly and leads to marginal environmental benefit, we shall just miss the aim. Manufacturers can easily lose markets to the benefit of others. We cannot neglect the economic factor that is the engine of a better society and of better companies. In addition, a global approach will have a maximum effect if implementation takes into account all particular environments.

- 3. Preserve transparent processes and involve experienced stakeholders The Best Available Techniques, Finding uniform protection standards the most eco-effective techniques to achieve environment protection, are at the heart of the Industrial Emissions Directive. It is important that setting them remains a fair and transparent selection process that benefits from inputs of emissions managing specialists, operators and other stakeholders. The process of establishing these standards should also preserve future innovation and future technical developments against changing environmental needs. A standard for all... ...all for a standard. Only if European frameworks preserve transparent processes and involve stakeholders will sustainable environmental protection really be a success.
- 4. Leave space for justified flexibility A good directive enables you to always go straight Environmental protection is a complex learning by doing process and over-simplicity could be counterproductive. While a European framework proves indispensable, the Industrial Emissions Directive should still allow local authorities justified flexi- bility to find in each particular case the most appropriate balance between all environmental considerations, industrial specificities (variety of processes, plant specificity) and local environment (particular topography, climate). ...in any situation. Only if European frameworks leave space for justified flexibility will sustainable environmental protection really be a success.
- 5. Promote an integrated environment protection Sustainable environment protection can only be successful if seen as a whole. Therefore, the Industrial Emissions Directive should allow not only emission reduction to be taken into consideration, but also all its aspects as well as possible side effects. Indeed, it would be useless to decrease some pollutants if this was to lead to unbalanced production of other emissions in particular associated with increased energy consumption. We are finally going to water dry lands... ...whatever the other impacts Only if European frameworks promote an integrated environment protection will sustainable environmental protection really be a success.
- 6. Ensure optimal societal benefit New environment concerns as well as new techniques are emerging and environment protection is a field for sustainable innovations and investments. Setting new standards, the Industrial Emissions Directive should, as did the previous legislation via the concept of the Best Available Techniques, promote cost-effectiveness for better economic and overall societal benefits. Are heavy costly standards. ... more efficient?
