Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control

Directive 2008/1/EC[1] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control is a directive of the European Union.In 2010, a revised wording was published, integrated with 6 other European directives regulating large industrial sites, into the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU, short IED.[3] The European IPPC Bureau[4] was established in 1997 to organize an exchange of information between the European Commission, EU Member States, industries concerned, and non-governmental organizations promoting environmental protection for drawing up and reviewing Best Available Techniques (short: 'BAT') reference documents (short: 'BREFs').These reference documents, specifically the BAT conclusions therein, provide the basis for EU Member States to grant operating permits for large agro-industrial installations.The information exchange is codified into law by Commission Implementing Decision 2012/119/EU and referred to as Sevilla process,[5] named after the city of Seville where the European IPPC Bureau is located.
