Implementing Article 10 of the SEA Directive 2001/42/EC

  • Number: 2002/01
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2002
One of the main conclusions drawn by the working group is that scope, depth and way of monitoring depend very much on the characteristics of each type of plan or programme. Article 10 of the SEA Directive refrains from laying down detailed requirements and leaves thus enough flexibility to develop flexible and individual solutions adapted to the respective type of plan and programme. However, the importance of starting monitoring on the grounds of baseline environmental information has been recognised...

Best Practices in Compliance Monitoring

  • Number: 2001/02
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2001
Compliance monitoring is a fundamental activity within environmental protection and is one of the main ways by which adherence to limits and laws can be assessed for regulatory purposes. It can involve a range of inspection and reporting activities carried out to determine compliance with regulatory requirements. The information provided by compliance monitoring is also valuable for other environmental and management activities (e.g.for optimising processes, protecting sensitive ecosystems, and informing...

Diffuse VOC Emission

  • Number: 2000/07
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2000
Establishing an environmental policy for industrial sources usually begins with the regulation of the large point sources. Attention is then focused on piped emissions, for example exhaust gases directed via a stack or wastewater through a discharge pipe. In general these piped emissions are well regulated and have been reduced substantially, to such an extent that the other emissions have become more and more dominating. With respect to atmospheric emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) these...
