The IPPC Directive 2008/1/EC (now IED 2010/75/EU) and Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC are two of the most wide-reaching items of EU environmental law.

In 2009 and 2011-2012 a comparison program on permitting and inspection of IPPC pig farming installations in IMPEL member countries was carried out. The  project focused on five key issues: manure storage, manure spreading, animal housing system, air-abatement systems and odour assessment. The aim of the project in 2009 was to learn from each other, to exchange experiences and identify good practices. During the project a network has been built up using IMPEL's internal project management system...

DECO Project – IMPEL Project on decontamination and monitoring procedures of groundwater and soils in polluted ex-industrial sites

  • Number: 2013/05
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2013
Soil is one of the four natural elements fundamental for life of humans, plants and animals. Due to historical industrialization processes, Europe has some of the most contaminated soils and groundwater in the world, and its protection is a priority for many European environmental authorities. The European Union created during the years a regulatory environment in order to protect soil and groundwater: the Landfill Directives (1999/31/EC), the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), the Environmental...

  • 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...

Reinforcement programme on inspection skills according to Landfill sites in IMPEL member countries, phase 2

  • Number: 2012/03
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2012
Improving implementation of EU law is a high priority objective of both the European Commission and IMPEL. Questionnaires that were circulated within IMPEL in December 2010 and June 2011 showed that 50% of countries have a lack of knowledge to fulfil inspection requirements, specially on new-to-build landfill sites. There was strong support for the idea of exchanging knowledge and learning from each other. In European projects of landfill construction (based on European funding) it is obligatory...
