Recital 5
(5) The combustion of fuel in small combustion plants and appliances can be covered by acts implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products15. Further measures are however needed to under Directive 2009/125/EC in order to cover the remaining legislative gap. Combustion of fuel in large combustion plants is covered by Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council16 from 7 January 2013, while Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council17 continues to apply to large combustion plants covered by Article 30(2) of Directive 2010/75/EU until 31 December 2015. __________________ 15 Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (OJ L 285, 31.10.2009, p.10). 16 Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (OJ L 334, 17.12.2010, p.17). 17 Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants (OJ L 309, 27.11.2001, p. 1).
