Structure of the IED -
Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC)
Chapter II (Articles 10 to 27) deals with special provisions for activities listed in Annex I of the IED. That Annex is effectively an amended version of Annex I of the IPPC Directive. The various articles in this Chapter relate to obligations of the operator, applications for permits, best available techniques and best available techniques reference documents, permit conditions, emission limit values, equivalent parameters and technical measures, monitoring requirements, general binding rules, environmental quality standards, developments in best available techniques, changes by operators to installations, reconsideration and updating of permit conditions by the competent authority, site closure and remediation, inspections, access to information and public participation, access to justice, cross-frontier issues and emerging techniques. Effectively, this Chapter recasts the IPPC Directive and amendments to that Directive and as such this Chapter only concerns IPPC activities as now listed in Annex I of the IED.
