V DECISION BY MEP&PP

on compliance with the requirements for heat processing of hazardous waste


CONCLUSION: There is a great number of legal provisions and bodies

defining by their permits the conditions for performance of activities and monitoring their implementation.

Overlapping of the inspection competences is a cause of reduced efficiency in determination of actual competence in case of undertaking specific measures.

Long process of permit issuance. Need to harmonize the system and form a single

competent body for permit issuance, whose inspection would supervise the implementation of the measures.


IPPC Directive recommendation All individual permits should be unified into a single one that would

encompass all the environmental effects and contain the safety at work conditions and environmental protection by use of the BAT- Best Available Technique, which would reduce the pollutants emissions to the environment and reduce the probability of accidents.

Cooperation of government representatives, industry, and inspection services in drafting of the permit.

Permits for identical industries must be standardised. In the final formulation, technical solutions, geographic location of

the plant and local conditions of significance for environment protection should be taken into account.
