ANNEX

PART 1

QUESTIONNAIRE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE 96/61/EC CONCERNING INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (IPPC)

General notes:

This third questionnaire under Directive 96/61/EC covers the period 2006 to 2008. In view of the experience gained in the implementation of the Directive and the information already obtained through the first questionnaire and further requested in the second questionnaire, the present questionnaire focuses on the changes and progress made by Member States in the actual implementation of the Directive. As regards transposition aspects, the Commission will pursue all necessary actions to ensure full and proper transposition of the Directive into national laws, notably through diligent follow-up of infringement procedures.

In those cases where questions are similar to those of the previous questionnaires, reference can simply be made to previous answers where the situation is unchanged, although this clearly will not be possible for Member States for which this represents the first reporting period. If there have been new developments, these should be described in a new answer. However, in order to help the reader by making questionnaire responses complete, please also generally reproduce the text of the previous answers when they are referred to in this way, unless there are practical reasons against this.

While answering the questionnaire on specific questions regarding general binding rules, or official guidelines issued by administrative bodies, please provide outline information on the type of rules or guidelines and web links or other means of accessing them, as appropriate.

1.   General description

PART 2

TEMPLATE FOR RESPONSE TO QUESTION 2.1

Notes:

General note: This template is for collection of data on numbers of ‘installations’ as defined by Article 2(3) and ‘permits’ as defined by Article 2(9). The numbers for installations and permits will not necessarily be identical because, according to Article 2(9), a permit may cover part of an installation, a whole installation, or more than one installation. Further guidance and explanation in relation to the data sought in Tables 1 and 2 are given in notes 1-9 below. Member States are requested to complete Table 1 as far as possible. Member States may also wish to provide additional comments (for instance as regards site restoration) if necessary to support and explain the data in Tables 1 and 2. The number of permits should include all the permits issued after the date of transposition of Directive 96/61/EC (30 October 1999) for installations still in operation at the end of 2008.

| 1. | For all of the columns numbered 1-10, Table 1 provides a template for collection of data based on the main Annex I activity of an installation. If possible, the information should be provided at the level of the Annex I subheadings (1.1, 2.3(a), 6.4(b), etc.). The lefthand column therefore sets out the relevant Annex I subheading numbers and a condensed summary of the corresponding activity descriptions (see Annex I to Directive 96/61/EC for the full descriptions including thresholds). In completing Table 1, care should be taken not to count the same installation or permit more than once, even if it covers several activities. Where an installation or permit comprises activities under two or more Annex I categories, therefore, it should be listed against only one Annex I category (e.g. the one that best describes the installation or permit). |
| --- | --- |

1.

| 2. | Columns 1 and 3 request a simple count of the numbers of new and existing installations respectively, for each main Annex I activity type, that were operating at the end of the reporting period. ‘Existing installations’ are those determined according to Article 2(4) of Directive 96/61/EC, and ‘new installations’ are all others. Column 8 then simply represents the sum of the figures in columns 1 and 3. |
| --- | --- |

2.

| 3. | Column 2 requests data on the number of permits granted to new installations in accordance with Article 4 by the end of the reporting period. As noted in the general note above, this will not necessarily be the same as the number of installations, even if all new installations have been fully permitted. |
| --- | --- |

3.

| 4. | Columns 4-6 cover the various ways in which existing installations can be made subject to permits that are considered compliant with Directive 96/61/EC. These are as follows:






  (a) | the granting of a permit in accordance with the procedure set down by Articles 6 and 8. Column 4 refers to such a permit as a new permit. The figures include any such new permits granted as a consequence of a proposed ‘substantial change’. |
| --- | --- | --- |

4.

(a)

the granting of a permit in accordance with the procedure set down by Articles 6 and 8. Column 4 refers to such a permit as a new permit. The figures include any such new permits granted as a consequence of a proposed ‘substantial change’.

| (b) | as an alternative to applying the procedure of Articles 6 and 8, Article 5(1) allows a competent authority to bring existing installations into compliance ‘by reconsidering and, where necessary, by updating’ the conditions to which the installations were already subject, e.g. under what might be termed a pre-IPPC permit (i.e. a permit issued under legislation preceding implementation of the Directive 96/61/EC). Column 5 requests data on those cases where the conditions of such a pre-IPPC permit were reconsidered, but no updating was undertaken because the conditions were considered to already comply with the requirements of Directive 96/61/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

as an alternative to applying the procedure of Articles 6 and 8, Article 5(1) allows a competent authority to bring existing installations into compliance ‘by reconsidering and, where necessary, by updating’ the conditions to which the installations were already subject, e.g. under what might be termed a pre-IPPC permit (i.e. a permit issued under legislation preceding implementation of the Directive 96/61/EC). Column 5 requests data on those cases where the conditions of such a pre-IPPC permit were reconsidered, but no updating was undertaken because the conditions were considered to already comply with the requirements of Directive 96/61/EC.

| (c) | column 6 similarly requests data on those cases where the conditions of a pre-IPPC permit were reconsidered, and the conditions were subsequently updated in order to comply with Directive 96/61/EC. This includes any such permits where the reconsideration and updating was brought about as a consequence of a proposed ‘substantial change’. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

column 6 similarly requests data on those cases where the conditions of a pre-IPPC permit were reconsidered, and the conditions were subsequently updated in order to comply with Directive 96/61/EC. This includes any such permits where the reconsideration and updating was brought about as a consequence of a proposed ‘substantial change’.

| 5. | Column 7 requests data on any permits for existing installations which had yet to be issued, or reconsidered and updated if appropriate, at the end of the reporting period, in conflict with the requirements of Article 5(1). Member States are requested to describe how they are handling any such outstanding permit requirements. |
| --- | --- |

5.

| 6. | Column 9 request data on the number of applications for permits (or permit updates) from operators of existing or new installations in respect of a proposed ‘substantial change’ as defined by Article 2(10(b)) that were determined during the reporting period. This includes substantial changes to installations that have already been made subject to compliance with Directive 96/61/EC. |
| --- | --- |

6.

| 7. | Column 10 request data on any permits for existing installations which had yet to be issued, or reconsidered and updated if appropriate, at the end of October 2007, in conflict with the requirements of Article 5(1). Member States are requested to describe how they are handling any such outstanding permit requirements. |
| --- | --- |

7.

| 8. | Although Member States are generally requested to report by the main activity types listed in Table 1 to the extent possible, it is recognised that the chemical sector is especially complex in this regard, and that many chemical installations carry out more than one activity as defined in the subheadings of Heading 4. Member States are therefore requested to report by the subheadings if the data are available, but otherwise to report only the overall figures for Heading 4 (i.e. no figures for individual subheadings). |
| --- | --- |

8.

| 9. | Table 2 aims at providing the total number of permits considered compliant or outstanding at the end of the reporting period. The first row represents the sum of the totals of columns 2, 4, 5 and 6 of Table 1. The second row represents the total of column 7 of Table 1. |
