IMPEL TFS Conference 2012

  • Number: 2012/13
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2012
The projects and activities of IMPEL Cluster 2 are based on the European Waste Shipment Regulation Nº 1013/2006. Being a Regulation and including a cross-border aspect, it is of high importance to have an active and practical European network of inspectors and regulators that meet on a regular basis to exchange practical experiences. Not only environmental inspectors, but also Customs and Police officers and the Judiciary. Ongoing IMPEL-TFS projects continue to show the need for establishing and...

IMPEL TFS Enforcement Actions III

  • Number: 2012/15
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2012
This project will run until the spring of 2014 and will encourage best practice in waste shipment inspections through a series of coordinated inspections and exchanges.  The inspections under this project will take place during three periods in both 2012 and 2013.  A ‘chain’ (from site of loading to site of recovery) approach to inspection will be used to verify environmentally sound management of waste shipments. Enforcement tools will also be developed as part of this project to encourage...

Enforcement Actions Interim Project

  • Number: 2011/25
  • Status: Finalised

  • to identify how member states enforce their legal  requirements in this field
  • to find out what kind of information is required in permit applications e.g. energy efficiency indicators
  • to analyse how member states work with the BREF Energy Efficiency and information of other BREFs...

Comparison Programme on the implementation and enforcement of Air Quality standards in relation to industrial air emissions (PIAQ) (Comparison Programme Implementation Air Quality standards and industrial air emissions)

  • Number: 2010/07
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2010/11
The air quality directive and its daughter directives have been implemented in EU member states in the past years. In 2007, an earlier IMPEL project (with Austria as lead partner) made it possible to exchange expertise in licensing of installations in ambient air polluted zones, based on an inquiry in some member states. A limited scope study in 2009 showed that directives have been implemented in practice in different ways in different IMPEL member states. Contacts between experts in these countries...

European Waste Enforcement Actions/Joint inspections of waste shipments, phase 2

  • Number: 2011/18
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2011
Trans-frontier shipments of waste are regulated by a number of international agreements in order to prevent shipments of harmful waste to countries that do not have the technology for environmentally sound disposal or recovery. In the EU the European Waste Shipment Regulation obliges member states to carry out inspections and to exchange information about illegal shipments. Throughout the project 28 countries reported 26.705 inspections that were executed at random or as target-oriented inspections...
