Achieving better compliance in the agricultural sector through networking and partnership working of environmental and agricultural inspectorates

  • Number: 2013/16
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2013
The European Commission identified this project area as a priority to IMPEL during a joint meeting in Brussels on 14/09/12.  They highlighted that there are poor levels of compliance with the Water Framework Directive (diffuse pollution & illegal abstraction) and the Nitrates Directive and that a gap has been identified between “environmental” and “agricultural” inspectorates. As a result they wished to see enhanced networking of different regulatory agencies to achieve higher levels...

Linking the Water Framework and IPPC/IE Directives, phase 3

  • Number: 2013/11
  • Status: Running
  • Period: 2013
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. 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). They are also required...

Scientists to study storm impact on water quality

British scientists plan to monitor the effect of storms on nitrate and phosphate contamination in rivers, research they say is crucial because climate change means that the intensity and frequency of storms are likely to increase. Results of the study by the scientists from the Universities of Southampton, Portsmouth and East Anglia and the National Oceanography [...]

IMPEL project presented at IWA World congress on Water, Climate and Energy

Point source discharges and effluents from industrial activities are amongst the main reason across EU Member States which create significant pressures on the aquatic ecosystem. The IMPEL project, “Linking the implementation of the Water Framework Directive to the implementation of the IPPC Directive,” has developed two reports on linkages between both directives and on challenges and [...]

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)....

Linking the implementation of the Water Framework Directive to the implementation of the IPPC Directive, phase 2

  • Number: 2011/11
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2011
The IPPC Directive 2008/1/EC 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 and continue to do so. These challenges have included interpretation of the provisions of the Directives and the enormous practicalities of implementation. Impel started a project named  “Linking the implementation of the Water Framework Directive to the implementation of the IPPC Directive”. This...

Linking the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) to the implementation of the IPPC Directive, phase 1

  • Number: 2010/08
  • Status: Finalised
  • Period: 2010

An important objective of this project is to define the relationship (complementary and competition) between IPPC implementation and WFD implementation from the scope of permitting, enforcement and data collection. Also other relevant directives are taken into account e.g. priority substances directive (2008/106/EC) and urban waste water treatment directive (91/271/EC).  Another goal is to make an inventory of problems and best practices in the member states, with...
