  1. Introduction to the first meeting of the IPPC Review Advisory Group DG ENV, 13 January 2006

  2. 2005 IPPC Implementation Report - Key findings • Delays in transposition, ongoing infringement procedures (8 MS) • Limited progress in the implementation of the Directive and need to accelerate process in view of Oct 2007 deadline • Description of specific implementation issues => IPPC IMPLEMENTATION ACTION PLAN

  3. IPPC Implementation Action Plan 1. Full transposition 2. Monitoring progress 2007 5. Guidance 3.Implementation assessment 4. Finalisation BREFs

  4. Number of permits for existing installations No data received so far from AT, CZ, DK, DE, FR, IE, IT, LU, MT, NL and SE

  5. Implementation Assessment • Intensify use of EPER to scrutinise application of the IPPC Directive • Assessment of 30 installations to better understand MS implementation => study • Assessment of environmental benefits of implementation => EEA assessment • Upcoming assessment of “general binding rules” (study in 2006-2007)

  6. Why a Review? Natural part of effective policy cycle 2003 Communication: • Positive reaction and general call for regulatory stability • But room for improvement: coverage, interpretation, legislative interactions • Some call for additional scope for emission trading

  7. Why a Review? Better regulation COM(2005) 535 IPPC Implementation Action Plan Lisbon agenda Thematic strategies IPPC Review => study

  8. Core Objectives An ambitious review while not altering the fundamental principles, objectives and ambition of the present Directive (high level of environmental protection, integrated approach, BAT, permitting …)

  9. Examine scope for legislative streamlining IPPC Directive Landfill Directive Waste IncinerationDirective Emission Trading Directive EIA Directive LCP Directive => Study

  10. Develop and implement outcomes of the Thematic Strategies

  11. Encourage industry to go beyond regulatory compliance • Incentives for innovation and enhanced deployment of environmental technologies • Economic instruments (trading, taxes ...) • Environmental management systems • Administrative relief • Voluntary schemes => Study

  12. “Technical” amendments in the light of experience • Permit review and monitoring provisions • Information exchange on BAT • Clarification of scope, definitions, etc. • Study on data gathering for impact assessment

  13. Summary projects in 2006 Implementation (ENTEC) Competitiveness (Carl Bro) Review process Env benefits (EEA) Beyond Compliance (DHV) Impacts of technical Amendments (IEEP) Streamlining (ENTEC)

  14. How? Other technical and legal input 2nd EPER reporting (June 2006) Development of guidance (2006) Member States 2nd implementation reports (Sept 2006)

  15. How? IPPC Advisory Group IPPC Advisory Group (input studies) IMPEL (enforcement) IPPC Experts Group(policy orientation) Stakeholder Hearing 2006 (public debate)

  16. Expected role of Advisory Group Present opinions and suggestions based on questionnaires Advice on key decisions Key contact points Structured dialogue for input to studies comments on deliverables Input to data collection

  17. Challenges for the Advisory Group • Significant workload expected • Avoid duplication of information requests • Ensure close synergies between studies • Ensure good circulation of information through the use of CIRCA (http://forum.europa.eu.int/Public/irc/env/Home/main?index) • Need active and responsive group

  18. Possible Outputs, Timing? • Conclusion of review in 2007 with long-term vision on industrial emissions control • Legislative proposal if appropriate, based on an impact assessment, unlikely to come into effect until ~ 2012 at earliest • No change in short term, 2007 deadline unaffected!
