EC to further cut industrial emissions
26th December 2007
The European Commission last week adopted new legislation on industrial emissions to strengthen the provisions already in force and reduce industrial emissions throughout the European Union.
The proposal is hoped to bring health and environmental benefits and should create a more level playing field across the EU, reducing competition distortions between companies.
It is intended also to simplify current legislation by merging seven directives into one, significantly cutting the administrative burden for industry and public authorities.
