Amen­de­menten Hazekamp tot wijziging van Richtlijn 2010/75/EU van het Europees Parlement en de Raad van 24 november 2010 inzake indu­striële emissies en Richtlijn 1999/31/EG van de Raad van 26 April 1999 over het storten van afval­stoffen

Proposal for a directive on amending Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) and Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste of the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety.

Amendment 1
Anja Hazekamp, Marisa Matias

Proposal for a directive
Recital 4

Text proposed by the Commission

(4) Rearing of pigs, poultry and cattle cause significant pollutant emissions into the air and water. In order to reduce such pollutant emissions, including ammonia, methane, nitrates and greenhouse gas emissions and thereby improve air, water and soil quality, it is necessary to lower the threshold above which pigs and poultry installations are included within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU and to include also cattle farming within that scope. Relevant BAT requirements take into consideration the nature, size, density and complexity of these installations, including the specificities of pasture based cattle rearing systems, where animals are only seasonally reared in indoor installations, and the range of environmental impacts they may have. The proportionality requirements in BATs aim to incentivise farmers to implement the necessary transition towards increasingly environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Amendment

(4) Animal farming, especially the rearing of pigs, poultry and cattle cause significant pollutant emissions into the air, soil and water and severe damage to the climate. In order to reduce such pollutant emissions, including ammonia, methane, nitrates and greenhouse gas emissions and thereby improve air, water and soil quality, the number of farmed animals should be reduced drastically, additionally, it is crucial to lower the threshold above which pigs and poultry installations are included within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU and it is inevitable to include also cattle farming within that scope to meet the commitments made under the Global Methane Pledge. The establishment and expansion of industrial livestock installations shall not be granted a permit. Relevant BAT requirements take into consideration the nature, size, density and complexity of these installations, including the specificities of pasture based cattle rearing systems, where animals are only seasonally reared in indoor installations, animal welfare and the range of environmental impacts they may have. The proportionality requirements in BATs aim to incentivise farmers to implement the necessary transition towards increasingly environmentally and animal friendlier agricultural practices, with emphasis on the protein transition. BAT requirements should be consulted with environmental and animal NGOs on a regular basis..

Amendment 2
Anja Hazekamp, Marisa Matias

Proposal for a directive
Recital 15

Text proposed by the Commission

(15) Providing a high level of protection of human health and the environment as a whole requires inter alia the establishment in permits of emission limit values at a level that ensures compliance with the applicable emission levels associated with the best available techniques set out in the BAT conclusions. Emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AELs) are usually expressed as ranges, rather than as single values, to reflect the differences within a given type of installations that result in variations in the environmental performances achieved when applying BAT. For example, a given BAT will not deliver the same performance for different installations, some BATs may not be suitable for use in certain installations, or a combination of BATs may be more effective on some pollutants or environmental media than others. The achievement of a high level of protection of human health and the environment as a whole has been jeopardised by the practice of setting emission limit values at the laxest end of the range of emission levels associated with the best available techniques, without considering the potential of a given installation to achieve lower emission levels through the application of best available techniques. Such practice discourages frontrunners from implementing more effective techniques, and hinders the achievement of a level-playing field at a high level of protection of human health and the environment. Competent authorities should therefore be required to set in permits the lowest possible emission limit values which reflect the performance of BAT for the specific installations, taking into consideration the whole range of BAT-AELs and aiming at the best environmental performance possible for the installations; unless the operator demonstrates that applying best available techniques as described in the BAT conclusions only allows the concerned installation to meeting less strict emission limit values.

Amendment

(15) Providing a high level of protection of human and animal health and welfare, biodiversity, and the environment as a whole requires inter alia the establishment in permits of emission limit values at a level that ensures compliance with the applicable emission levels associated with the best available techniques set out in the BAT conclusions. Emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AELs) are usually expressed as ranges, rather than as single values, to reflect the differences within a given type of installations that result in variations in the environmental performances achieved when applying BAT. For example, a given BAT will not deliver the same performance for different installations, some BATs may not be suitable for use in certain installations, or a combination of BATs may be more effective on some pollutants or environmental media than others. Before considering the potential of a given installation to achieve lower emission levels through the application of best available techniques, effects on nature, environment and the health and welfare of humans and animals will be thoroughly assessed. Technological and other solutions with the aim of reducing emissions from animal farming, such as permanent indoor housing, air scrubbers and low-emission stable floors that require a significant investment from farmers will not fall under best available techniques. Such practices hinder the achievement of a level-playing field at a high level of protection of human and animal health and welfare, biodiversity and the environment. Competent authorities should therefore be required to set in permits the lowest possible emission limit values which reflect the performance of BAT for the specific installations, taking into consideration the whole range of BAT-AELs and aiming at the best environmental performance possible for the installations; unless the operator demonstrates that applying best available techniques as described in the BAT conclusions only allows the concerned installation to meeting less strict emission limit values.

Text proposed by the Commission

The Commission shall establish operating rules containing requirements consistent with the use of best available techniques for the activities listed in Annex Ia, which shall include the following:

Amendment

The establishment and expansion of industrial livestock installations shall not be granted a permit. The Commission shall establish, after consulting with relevant stakeholders, including scientists and environmental and animal-welfare NGOs, operating rules containing requirements consistent with the use of scientifically proven best available techniques which have a proven positive impact on human and animal health and welfare, the environment and biodiversity. Technological and other solutions with the aim of reducing emissions from animal farming, such as permanent indoor housing, air scrubbers and low-emission stable floors, that require a significant investment from farmers will not fall under best available techniques. This concerns the operating rules for the activities listed in Annex Ia, which shall include the following:
