Proposal for a directive
Article 33 – paragraph 6 a (new)

6a. Member States may, taking into account the costs and benefits as well as their obligations under Directive 20../../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants and Directive 2008/50/EC on air quality, define and implement a national emission reduction plan for some or all plants subject to Article 33(2). The national emission reduction plan shall reduce the total annual emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and dust from existing plants to the levels that would have been achieved by applying the emission limit values referred to in Part 1 of Annex V to the existing plants in operation in the year 2013, on the basis of each plant's actual annual operating time, fuel used and thermal input, averaged over the last five years of operation up to and including 2013. The closure of a plant included in the national emission reduction plan shall not result in an increase in the total annual emissions from the remaining plants covered by the plan. The following conditions shall apply to national emission reduction plans: (a) the plan shall comprise objectives and related targets, measures and timetables for reaching these objectives and targets, and a monitoring mechanism; (b) Member States shall communicate their national emission reduction plan to the Commission no later than 1 January 2015; (c) within six months of the communication referred to in point (b) the Commission shall evaluate whether or not the plan meets the requirements of this paragraph. When the Commission considers that this is not the case, it shall inform the Member State and within the subsequent three months that Member State shall communicate to the Commission any measures it has taken in order to ensure that the requirements of this paragraph are met; (d) the Commission shall, no later than 1 January 2013, develop guidelines to assist Member States in the preparation of their plans.

6b. Without prejudice to Directive 2008/50/EC, existing plants may be exempted from compliance with the requirements of Article 33(2) on the following conditions: (a) the operator of the existing plant undertakes, in a written declaration submitted by [three years after entry into force] at the latest to the competent authority, not to operate the plant for more than 20 000 operational hours starting from 1 January 2016 and ending no later than 31 December 2023; (b) the operator is required to submit each year to the competent authority a record of the used and unused time allowed for the plants' remaining operational life; (c) the competent authority shall ensure that emission limit values for the pollutants referred to in Article 33(2) remain at least as stringent as those contained in the plant’s permit as that permit stood at the date of the operator’s written declaration or, in cases where there was a valid permit on 1 January 2008, any lower emission limit value in that permit.
