Environmental inspections of industrial installations in accordance with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED)

  • Number: 2012/06
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2012
On 6 January 2011 the Industrial Emissions Directive entered into force, and its provisions listed in Article 80(1) have to be transposed into national law within two years. The IED sets new requirements on the inspection of industrial installations as described in Article 23 of the Directive. The obligations on routine environmental inspections constitute a new challenge for the EU member states, but IMPEL already has done some work in this field: e. g. Guidance Book on Environmental Inspections,...

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...

  • Number: 2012/09
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2012
The Environmental Impact Assessment or EIA Directive was adopted in 1985 and was first amended in 1997[1].

Linking the Water Framework Directive and IPPC/IED Directive, phase 3

  • Number: 2012/08
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2012
The IPPC Directive 2008/1/EC (replaced by IED 2010/75/EU by end of 2012) and Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC are two of the most wide-reaching items of EU environmental law. They have presented many challenges to the Member States. Installations regulated under IPPC may impact on the water environment, such as through direct or indirect discharges of pollutants, water abstraction, etc. IPPC requires installations to operate to conditions in permits compliant with Best Available Techniques (BAT)....
