| Short description: |
IPPC and the body of legislation on industrial emissions also have a part to play in
addressing the calls from the Member States, the European Parliament and other
stakeholders for 'Better Regulation.' With this in mind the Commission launched in
20053 a review of the body of legislation on industrial emissions in order to ensure its
environmental and cost-effectiveness and to encourage technological innovation.
Based on a detailed analysis of the current situation and the outcome of the review
process, the Commission proposes to streamline and enhance its policy on industrial
emissions. For the large combustion plants alone the proposals should lead to net
environmental and health benefits of at least €7–28 billion per year including the
reduction of premature deaths / years of life lost by 13,000 and 125,000 respectively.
Significant health and environmental benefits would also be achieved in other
sectors. Furthermore in collaboration with Member States the proposals would lead
to a net reduction in administrative burden by between €105 and 255 million per
year.
