OPINION on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) and Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste

(9) In order to foster energy efficiency of installations within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU which are carrying out activities listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC, it is appropriate to submit those installations to energy efficiency requirements in respect of combustion units or other units emitting carbon dioxide on the siter other greenhouse gases on the site. Similarly, emission limits for greenhouse gases should be set, where necessary in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest.

(16) The contribution of Directive 2010/75/EU to resource and energy efficiency and circular economy in the Union should be made more effective, taking into consideration the ‘Energy Efficiency First’ as a guiding principle of the Union energy policy. Therefore, the permits should establish, where possible, mandatory environmental performance limit values on consumption and resource efficiency levels, including on the use of water, energy and recycled materials, based on the environmental performance levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT AEPLs) set out in decisions on BAT conclusions. Where those environmental performance levels are expressed in a range of values, competent authorities should be required to set in permits the lowest possible emission limit values which reflect the performance of BAT for the specific installations, taking into consideration the whole range of BAT-AELs and aiming at the best environmental performance possible for the installations;

(25) Achieving Union objectives regarding a clean, circular and climate neutral economy by 2050 calls for a deep transformation of the Union economy. Consistently with the 8th Environmental Action Programme, operators of installations covered by Directive 2010/75/EU should therefore be required to include transformation plans in their environmental management systems. Such transformation plans will also complement the Corporate Sustainability Reporting requirements under Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council75 by providing a means for concrete implementation of these requirements at installation level. The first priority is the transformation of energy- intensive activities listed in Annex I. Therefore, the operators of energy- intensive installations should produce transformation plans by 30 June 2030. Operators of installations carrying out other activities listed in Annex I should be required to produce transformation plans as part of the permit reconsideration and update following the publication of decisions on BAT conclusions published after 1 January 2030. Whilst the transformation plans should remain indicative documents prepared under the responsibility of the operators, trefore, the operators of activities listed in Annex I should produce transformation plans by 30 June 2027. After this date, competent authorities should be required to check that permits contain transformation plans in line with Union environmental and climate objectives Transformation plans should be regularly reviewed and updated in order to follow technological progress. The audit organisation contracted by the operators as part of their environmental management systems should check that they contain the minimum information to beset according to this Directive and set by the European Commission in an implementing delegated act, and the operators should make the transformation plans publicas well as the progress in their fulfilment publicly accessible and easy to find. _________________ 75 Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on the annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements and related reports of certain types of undertakings, amending Directive 2006/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC; OJ L 182, 29.6.2013, p. 19–76.

The competent authority shall set the strictest possible emission limit values that are consistent with the lowest emissions achievable by applying the most effective BAT in the installation, and that ensure that, under normal operating conditions, emissions do not exceed the emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT- AELs) as laid down in the decisions on BAT conclusions referred to in Article 13(5). The emission limit values shall be based on an assessment by the operator analysing the technical non- feasibility of meeting the strictest end of the BAT-AEL range and demonstrating the best performance the installation can achieve by applying the most effective BAT as described in BAT conclusions. The emission limit values shall be set through either of the following:

The environmental performance limit values shall be based on an assessment by the operator analysing the technical non-feasibility of meeting the strictest end of the BAT- AEPL range and demonstrating the best performance the installation can achieve by applying most effective BAT(s) as described in BAT conclusions
