Following the publication by the European Commission of the
conclusions on best available techniques (BAT) in the waste sector
on 17th August 2018, the operators are required to submit a
reconsideration file ("dossier de réexamen") and,
in certain circumstances, a baseline report to the environmental
authority by 17th August 2019. The operators would then have to
bring their equipment and installations in line with BAT by 17th
August 2022.
This deadline gives us an opportunity to go back over the
regulations applicable to the ICPEs (classified facilities for the
protection of environment) that are subject to Directive 2010/75/EU
on industrial emissions (also known as the IED). Those ICPEs are
those which are listed under the items "3000" in the
classification of classified facilities.
