Whereas, according to the Commission's report to the Council on the availability of low-sulphur fuel, the difficult situation which had delayed the setting of these limit values has now improved, thanks notably to the availability on the world market of  sufficient quantities of coal with a low sulphur content; whereas emissions from the combustion of this type of coal can be limited to 2 000 mg/Nm3 (*);
Whereas in view of the damage caused to the environment by atmospheric pollution, the emission limit values for plants with a rated thermal input of between 50 and 100 megawatts should be set at this level,

- Annex III shall be replaced by the Annex to this Directive;
- the following subparagraph shall be added to Article 4 (1):
'However, Member States may provide that new plants having a retard thermal input of not less than 50 megawatts and not more than 100 megawatts and licensed before the deadline for incorporation of Directive 94/66/EC (10)() into national law shall be  obliged to comply with the value set in Annex III by no later/than one year after that deadline.
'
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than six months after its entry into force. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field governed by this Decision.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
