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. It replaces the Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996[2] on the same subject matter; both are commonly referred to as IPPC Directive.
From 2005 to 2007, the effect of the directive was assessed. 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]
European IPPC Bureau
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 environmental NGOs regarding the draw up and review of Best Available Techniques (short: 'BAT') reference documents (short: 'BREFs'). These reference documents, and specifically the BAT conclusions therein, provide the basis for EU Member States to grant operating permits for large agro-industrial installations.
