The European Commission has published its evaluation of the IndustrialEmissions Directive which regulates over 50 000 installations in Europe,including food and dairy processing, waste treatment and large poultryand pig farms (replacing several Directives including IPPC).

Conclusions are that the Directive is effective, cost-efficient,coherent and provides EU added value. Amongst aspects which work lesswell or are to be addressed, the Commission identifies resource use and Circular Economy, greenhouse gas emissions, implementation of BAT technologies, emerging technologies and possible widening of scope. Thereport states that a few highly-polluting activities are not currentlycovered by the Directive, including cattle farms, aquaculture andpoultry farms below the current IED threshold of 40 000 birds, but notesthat extending to cover cattle farms has previously been considered andrejected because of the administrative burden.

SHORT ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project Industrial animal farms in the Baltic Sea Region - sustainable practices to reduce nutrient loads is a part of a long-term campaign of the Coalition Clean Baltic and Green Federation "GAJA", aiming to reduce the negative impact of large-scale animal production on the environment and local communities in the Baltic Sea Region, particularly by reducing nutrient run-off into the sea. The project is part-financed by the European Union. This website reflects only the view of the Coalition Clean Baltic.
