(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/631/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (1), and in particular Article 17(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Directive 2008/1/EC, Member States are required to report on the implementation of that Directive every 3 years on the basis of a questionnaire established by the Commission.
(2)
Four questionnaires were established by the Commission. The fourth one, established by Commission Decision 2010/728/EU (2), covered the years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
(3)
Since the questionnaire established by Decision 2010/728/EU is to be used for reporting until 31 December 2011, a new questionnaire should be established for the next 3-year reporting period, taking into account the experience gained in the implementation of Directive 2008/1/EC and in the use of the previous questionnaires. However, given that Directive 2008/1/EC will be repealed from 7 January 2014 and replaced by Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (3), the new questionnaire should cover only 2 years, namely 2012 and 2013. For the sake of clarity, Decision 2010/728/EU should be replaced.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 6 of Council Directive 91/692/EEC (4).
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
1. Member States shall use the questionnaire set out in the Annex for reporting on the implementation of Directive 2008/1/EC.

Article 2
Decision 2010/728/EU is repealed from 1 January 2013.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

The representative prices should therefore be published.
