ANNEX F: QUESTIONNAIRE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EU INTEGRATED
POLLUTION AND PREVENTION CONTROL DIRECTIVE (2008/1/EEC)
ANNEX F: QUESTIONNAIRE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE EU INTEGRATED POLLUTION AND PREVENTION
CONTROL DIRECTIVE (2008/1/EEC)
Purpose:
To validate the strength and effectiveness of the
directive to prevent and limit N and P leakage from
industrial animal farms, focus installations for the
intensive rearing of pigs influence on waterways and
the Baltic Sea.
To help identify the current best available manure
handling technologies, and main obstacles for their
implementation.
Stakeholders:
1. EU Commission, civil servant responsible for
elaboration and implementation of Directive
(Interview)
2. IPPC Technical Working Group/National
Authorities responsible for national implementation
of Directive(Internet Survey)
3. National/Regional Authorities monitoring installations
for the intensive rearing of pigs compliance
with directive (Internet Survey)
Knowledge sought:
A. Quality of recommended BATs – N/P
• What criteria regarding N/P emissions apply
for BATs for Intensive Rearing of Poultry and
Pigs?
• How effective are these criteria to prevent N/P
leakage from Installations for the intensive rearing
of pigs?
• How are BATs validated and chosen by EU
Commission?
• How is prevention of N/P leakage from Intensive
Rearing of Poultry and Pigs prioritized during the
validation of BATs
• Form and quality of process to elaborate BREF
(Ref. doc. On BAT for Intensive Rearing of Poul
try and Pigs?
• How does EU gather information on BATs?
(From what regions, and what stakeholders, on
what regularity, who at EU validates?)
• Relevance/quality of BAT Reference Documents
(BREFs)
B. Communication of BATs – N/P from EU to
member states
• How are BATs communicated to member states?
• With what regularity?
• To who?
• How is it validated that the information is
received, read and spread and used in permit
processes
C. Communication of BATS – N/P nationally
• How are BAT communicated to farmers?
• With what regularity?
• How is it validated that the information is
received, read and used?
D Compliance with directive
• How does EU commission ensure that Member
states implement IPPC directive?
• How does EU commission ensure that recommended
BATs are implemented in Member
States? (information exchange, guidance development,
visits to authorities and training)
• How does EU act if compliance is dissatisfactory?
• To what extent is BAT – N/P compliance ensured
when regional/local authority is permitting animal
farms?
• How is implementation of BAT – N/P monitored
by regional/local authorities?
• How is violation of permits/disregarding use of
BAT – N/P sanctioned?
E Quality of national monitoring
• How are compliance checks carried out?
• How decisive is the BREF document on BAT for
Intensive Rearing of Poultry and Pigs when issuing
permits for new pig farms, and when inspecting
existing?
