(5) The combustion of fuel in small combustion plants and appliances can be covered by acts implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products15. Further measures are however needed to under Directive 2009/125/EC in order to cover the remaining legislative gap. Combustion of fuel in large combustion plants is covered by Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council16 from 7 January 2013, while Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council17 continues to apply to large combustion plants covered by Article 30(2) of Directive 2010/75/EU until 31 December 2015. __________________ 15 Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (OJ L 285, 31.10.2009, p.10). 16 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). 17 Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants (OJ L 309, 27.11.2001, p. 1).

~~Emission monitoring~~ Part 1: Monitoring of emissions by the operator 1. Periodic measurements of SO2, NOx and ~~particulate matter~~dust shall be required at least every three years for ~~medium~~, as an alternative, after a maximum of 4500 operating hours, for combustion plants ~~the~~with a rated thermal input ~~of which is~~ greater than 1 MW and less than 20 MW, and at least annually ~~for medium~~or, as an alternative, after a maximum of 1500 operating hours, for combustion plants ~~the~~with a rated thermal input ~~of which is~~ equal to or greater than 20 MW but less than 50 MW. 2. Measurements are only required for pollutants for which an emission limit value is laid down in Annex II for the plant concerned. 3. The first measurements shall be carried out within ~~three~~six months following the permit or registration of the plant or the date of start of the operation, whichever is the latest. 4. As an alternative to the measurements of SO2 referred to in point 1, other procedures, verified and approved by the competent authority, may be used to determine the SO2 emissions. 5. Sampling and analysis of polluting substances and measurements of process parameters as well as any alternatives used as referred to under point 4, shall be carried out in accordance with CEN standards.

The competent authority shall document in the information document provided in article 4(4) the reasons for the application of the first subparagraph including the result of the assessment and the justification for the conditions imposed. The competent authority shall ensure that no significant pollution is caused and that a high level of protection of the environment as a whole is achieved.

Annex IV – part 1 a (new)

Part 1a: Assessment of compliance 1. In the case of periodic measurements, the emission limit values referred to in Article 5 shall be regarded as having been complied with if the results of each of the series of measurements or of the other procedures defined and determined according to the rules laid down by the competent authorities, do not exceed the relevant emission limit value. 2.

Recital 1

(1) Decision XXX/XXXX of the European Parliament and of the Council14 (the Action Programme) recognises that emissions of pollutants to air have been reduced significantly over the past decades, but at the same time air pollution levels are still problematic in many parts of Europe, and citizens of the Union continue to be exposed to air polluting substances, potentially compromising their health and wellbeing. According to the Action Programme, ecosystems continue to suffer from excess nitrogen and sulphur deposition associated with emissions from transport, unsustainable agricultural practices and power generation. In many areas of the Union, air quality levels are still above the limits that the Union itself has set, and are still failing to meet the targets set by the World Health Organisation. __________________ 14 Decision XXX/XXXX of the European Parliament and of the Council of … … … on a General Union Environment Action Programme to 2020 "Living well, within the limits of our planet" (OJ L… ,… … … , p…).

Recital 16 a (new)

(16 a) The Commission should assess, within a reasonable period of time, the need to modify the emission limit values given in Annex II on the basis of more advanced technologies. The Commission should also assess the need to propose specific emission limit values for other pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, on the basis of the monitoring referred to in Article 6. To that end, Member States should take the necessary measures to ensure that such monitoring is carried out.

Recital 17

(17) In order to adapt to scientific and technical progress, the power to adapt acts to adjust the provisions on emission monitoring set out in Annex IV in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission. It is of particulart is importancet that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission~~, when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, shoul~~ should involve the European Parliament and the Council in its preparatory work, inform them as widely as possible and ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents ~~to the European Parliament and the Council~~.

Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 3 a (new)

Until 1 January 2030, existing medium combustion plant with a rated thermal input above 5 MW may be exempted from compliance with the emission limit values set out in Part 1 of Annex II provided that at least 50 % of the useful heat production of the plant, as a rolling average over a period of five years, is delivered in the form of steam or hot water to a public network for district heating, or provided that a solid biomass is a main fuel as a rolling average over a period of five years.

Amendment 91 #

Proposal for a directive
Recital 18

(18) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely the improvement of environmental quality and human health, cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States, and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adapt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.deleted

Amendment 92 #

Proposal for a directive
Article 1

This Directive lays down rules to prevent and control emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides ~~and~~, particulate matter, mercury, dioxins and furans, formaldehydes, methane, carbon monoxide, total organic carbon and ammonia into the air from medium combustion plants, and thereby reduce emissions to air and the potential risks to human health and the environment from such emissions. It aims to achieve a high level of environmental and human health protection.
