Recital 2
(2) The European Green Deal announced a revision of Union measures to address pollution from large industrial installations, including reviewing the sectoral scope of the legislation and how to make it fully consistent with climate, energy, water and circular economy policies. In addition, the Zero Pollution Action Plan, the Circular Economy Action Plan and the Farm to Fork Strategy also call for improving resource efficiency and reuse at industrial installations while reducing pollutant emissions at source, including sources not currently within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council69 . Addressing pollution from certain agro- industrial activities thus requires their inclusion within the scope of that Directive. _________________ 69 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. 17-119.

Recital 16
(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, wheren possible, mandatory environmental performance limit values on consumption and resource efficiency levels, including on the useconsumption of water, energy, and recycledaw materials, and their reuse, based on the environmental performance levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT AEPLs) set out in decisions on BAT conclusions.

Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) Considering the recurrent drought and flood in Europe with a direct impact on water availability for the European industry which is the largest water consumer in Europe (EEA, 2018), industrial stakeholders must carefully consider quantitatively and qualitatively water risks both on and by their activities. Therefore, the European industry must be mobilised to achieve the so-called “Water- Smart Society” in line with the Green Deal and its international commitments to provide a coherent water strategy. Recognising and realising the Value of Water to ensure water security, safety, and sustainability, it means that all available water sources are managed in such a way that water scarcity and pollution is avoided; water and resource loops are largely closed to foster a circular economy and resource efficiency while the water system is resilient against droughts, floods and climate change; its planned and digitalised management ensures prediction and agility to perform under stress as well as uncertainties, and all relevant stakeholders are involved in water governance.

It also lays down rules designed to prevent or, where that is not practicable, to reduce emissions into air, water and land and to prevent the generation of waste, in order to achieve a high level of protection of human health and the environment taken as a whole. In addition, it lays down rules designed to improve resource efficiency in order to reduce the use of water, energy, and raw materials.
