IPPC Eco-efficiency

• IPPC applies an integrated environmental
  approach to the regulation of certain industrial
  activities. This means that emission to air,
  water (including discharges to sewer) or land,
  plus a range of other environmental effects, must
  be considered together.
• Eco-efficiency is a management philosophy that
  encourages business to search for environmental
  improvements that yield parallel economic
  benefits.

What are the problems?

• Organizational manner
• Rigid organizational model established at the
  national level and imposed in all regions and
  counties.
• There is contradictions between the central
  management and insufficient flexibility of the
  operative structures that are totally
  subordinated to NEPA, regarding budget,
  procedures, personnel and so on.
• The organizations seems to be incomplete and
  unable to attract and to keep the professional
  resources.
• Unclear and unstable legislation

What is going wrong?

• Technical implementation
• Problems in interpretation and understanding of
  BAT/BREF recommendations from the people that
  work in permitting process
• Problems in setting the Emission Limit Values
  (ELVs) when the permit is made
• The legislation for compliance checking and
  revision or revoking the permit is still unclear
• Undeveloped monitoring systems (insufficient
  technical equipment and no sufficient experience
  in interpreting data)
