  1. EEA assessment of environmental benefits due to the implementation of the IPPC Directive (case-study approach) IPPC Review Advisory Group meeting 13 January 2006 Eva Goossens

  2. Context: Policy effectiveness evaluation Aim Assess whether environmental policies are delivering real results in an effective way EEA Role Assess environmental outcomes of policies Endorsed in EEA Strategy (2004-2008) by Commission & Member States EEA experience: Very recent EEA activity Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (2005) Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (2005)

  3. Case-study approach for IPPC Directive evaluation Complex area Directive Wide range of industrial activities Procedural Directive without numerical targets Few data available on analysis of IPPC New way of thinking needed for Data collection Assessment methodology • Case-study approach • Limited number of sectors • 1st case-study: cement sector

  4. Reasons for cement sector as 1st case-study BREF in place since 2001 Concrete emission ranges associated with BAT in BREF Revision of BREF provides opportunity to gather data to review environmental benefits achieved so far Reporting on ELVs will take place in 2006 Industry with a EU-wide geographical spread Data availability through several IPTS studies/inventories for the ETS Limited number of companies (possibility for bottom-up approach) Cement sector more “active” on environmental issues Industry-generated framework for monitoring environmental performance as point of comparison: Cement Sustainability Initiative

  5. ecosphere Consultants in environment and development Methodology to assess environmental benefits of implementation of IPPC Contract for methodology development 1st case-study Consultants: consortium Milieu Ltd, LDK-ECO, AAPC, Collingwood and Ecosphere (EEA framework contract on policy analysis)

  6. Possible selection of further case-studies Potential sectors identified: Steel Iron Pulp Paper Intensive rearing of pigs and poultry Number of case-studies = function of resources required for additional assessments EEA welcomes input from Advisory Group

  7. Approach towards data collection Data collection partners: Member states Business community Sectoral level (European/national organisations) Plant / installation level (site-specific information) EPA network of EEA (established by EEA and member states in 2003) For data provision, analytical review, quality assurance EEA welcomes active cooperation from all stakeholders in the Advisory Group

  8. Role of Advisory Group EEA welcomes input (presently) View on possible additional sectors (in further stage of project) Methodology for the assessment of environmental benefits Outcomes of assessment Advisory Group will be kept fully informed
