Waste Sites II

  • Number: 2013/19
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2013
This project is based on the experiences derived from the first Waste Sites project of 2011-2012 which confirmed the assumption that in order to control illegal waste exports from the EU more effectively – notably of e-waste and end-of-life vehicles – it is important to target the sources of these waste streams and the “upstream” facilities where the waste is collected, stored and/or treated before the export. In particular, the...

IRI Finland

  • Number: 2013/03
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2013
The IRI scheme is a voluntary scheme providing for informal reviews of environmental authorities in IMPEL member countries. It was set up to implement the European Parliament and Council Recommendation (2001/331/EC) providing for minimum criteria for environmental inspections (RMCEI), where it states: “Member States should assist each other administratively in operating this Recommendation.  The establishment by Member States in cooperation with IMPEL of reporting and advice schemes relating...

IMPEL TFS Conference 2012

  • Number: 2012/13
  • Status: Finalised
  • 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...

Energy Efficiency in permitting and inspections, phase 3

  • Number: 2012/04
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2012
In part 2 of the IMPEL project: “Energy Efficiency in Permitting and Inspection,” the project team consisting of 6 representatives from 5 IMPEL Member States and the consultant made an analysis of major changes from IPPC to Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), discussed the new BAT concept under IED and identified relevant IED provisions related to energy efficiency. They: -          identified the basic documents to be reviewed during the project, -          decided...

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
  • Period: 2011
The Waste Shipment Regulation (1013/2006/EC) requires Member States to inspect shipments of waste and to co-operate with each other. The Enforcement Actions project was set up for the following reasons: - Some Member States expressed the need for a formalised project framework in order to integrate this with the enforcement inspections in their own countries; - International cooperation is essential to tackle international environmental problems; and - The network of enforcers in the field...

Energy efficiency in permitting and inspections

  • Number: 2010/05
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2010
The main objectives of the project were:
  • to explore how member states have implemented in practice the energy efficiency provisions of the IPPC directive and handle obstacles
  • 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...
