Article 2 (11) 
'New Plant' means any combustion plant for which 
the (partial or full) building permission or, in the 
absence of such a procedure, the operating licence, is 
granted after 1 January 1985. Article 2 (11) 
'New Plant' means any combustion plant for which 
an operating licence is granted after 1 January 1985. 
Article 2 (12) 
'Existing Plant' means any combustion plant the 
building and/or operation of which were/was auth­
orized before 1 January 1985, or which was built 
before that date. Article 2 (12)

Article 4 (2) 
In the licensing document, Member States shall 
provide for appropriate requirements to allow, where 
necessary, for the subsequent adaptation of the plants 
to technological progress made in connection with 
the reduction of the emissions covered by this 
Directive. Article 4 (2) 
In the licensing document, Member States shall 
provide for appropriate requirements to allow for the 
subsequent adaptation of the plants to technical 
progress made in connection with the reduction of 
the emissions covered by this Directive and the 
changing scientific nature and scale of the environ­
mental implications. 
Article 5 (1) 
Existing plants partially or completely shut down 
under the national programmes before 31 December 
1995 can be brought back into operation only if their 
emission levels remain within the limit values set out 
in Annex I. Article 5 (1) 
Existing plants partially or completely shut down 
under the national programmes after 1 January 1985 
can be brought back into operation only if their 
emission levels remain within the limit values set out 
in Annex I. 
Article 12 (1) 
Where a combustion plant is extended, the competent 
authorities shall base the requirements regarding the 
limitation of emissions with respect to the new part of 
the plant on the rated heat output of the entire plant. Article 12 (1) 
Where a combustion plant is extended, the competent 
authorities shall base the requirements regarding the 
limitation of emissions with respect to the new part of 
the plant on the provisions of this Directive.

(') Account should be taken of the proportion of sulphur trioxide in the waste gas. 
(2) Expressed in terms of nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide need not be measured continuously if it accounts for less than 5 °/o of total emission 
of nitrogen oxides. The proportion of nitrogen dioxide should then be simply calculated. 
(3) This limit value applies to all fluidized bed plants irrespective of thermal capacity. 
(") For fluidized bed combustion plants the Commission will make appropriate proposals later.
