Recital 15
(15) In order to take into account certain specific circumstances where the application of emission levels associated with the best available techniques would lead to disproportionately high costs and have a particularly adverse socio- economic impact compared to the environmental benefits, competent authorities should be able to set emission limit values deviating from those levels. Such deviations should be based on an assessment taking into account well- defined criteria. The emission limit values set out in this Directive should not be exceeded. In any event, no significant pollution should be caused and a high level of protection of the environment taken as a whole should be achieved.
