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
editThe European IPPC Bureau[4] was established in 1997 to organize an exchange of information between the European Commission, EU Member States, industries concerned, and non-governmental organizations promoting environmental protection for drawing up and reviewing Best Available Techniques (short: 'BAT') reference documents (short: 'BREFs'). These reference documents, specifically the BAT conclusions therein, provide the basis for EU Member States to grant operating permits for large agro-industrial installations. The information exchange is codified into law by Commission Implementing Decision 2012/119/EU and referred to as Sevilla process,[5] named after the city of Seville where the European IPPC Bureau is located.
