(29) The Commission should review the need to establish Community-wide emission limit values and to amend the emission limit values set out in Annex V for certain large combustion plants, taking into account the review and update of the relevant BAT reference documents. In this context, the Commission should consider the specificity of the energy systems of refineries. With regard to such plants, the emission limit values established under Directive 2001/80/EC will continue to apply until the relevant BAT reference documents are reviewed in accordance with this directive.

Article 3 – point 34 a (new)
(34a) 'Emission levels associated with best available techniques' means the range of emissions achieved from the application of best available techniques as described in the BAT reference documents during normal conditions of operation and expressed as averages over a period of time. The BAT-AELs provide an appropriate reference point to assist in the determination of emission limit values in the permit, and differ from emission limit values as emission limit values also need to take into account monitoring and compliance requirements as well as the technical characteristics, the geographical location and the local environmental conditions of each particular installation.

Article 14 – paragraph 1 a (new)
(1a) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4 and Article 68, on the basis of new or updated BAT reference documents the Commission may, where appropriate, make proposals for measures to limit emissions (emission limit values, equivalent parameters or technical measures) and monitoring and compliance requirements as minimum requirements for the industrial activity in question. The Commission may propose to set minimum requirements for specific substances that have been identified to be of EU-wide concern and relevance for the industrial activity concerned. These minimum requirements shall take into account the feasibility of the industry across the EU concerned, and in particular the technical characteristics, cross-media effects, and, where appropriate, lay down transition periods for specific activities. The proposals on such minimum requirements shall be subject to a EU- wide sectoral impact assessment, looking at the various situations in all the Member States The Commission shall in making proposals on minimum requirements consult the relevant stakeholders involved in the information exchange referred to in Article 29. Those measures, designed to amend non- essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 69(2).
