• Summary and outlook
EU-Directive on integrated pollution prevention and control IPPC-Directive / Directive on indiustrial emissions 2010/75/EU
The Directive on industrial emissions 2010/75/EU (IED)
was adopted on 24 November 2010 and published in the
Official Journal on 17 December 2010
It entered into force on 6 January 2011 and has to be
transposed into national legislation by Member States by 7
January 2013.
The IED replaces the IPPC Directive and the sectoral
directives…………
EU-Directive on integrated pollution prevention and control IPPC-Directive / Directive on indiustrial emissions 2010/75/EU
Target: integrated prevention and reduction of emissions
in air, soil and water
 in order to achieve a high level of protection for the environment in
total = cross media approach
Affected:
Installations for the intensive rearing of poultry
and pigs
 40.000 poultry places, 2.000 fattening pig places (> 30 kg),
750 Sow places
To be proved:
 - by 2011: Differentiating poultry categories, „mixed livestock enterprises“
- by 2012: Involvem. of intensive cattle rearing, application of manures
Requirements for permission and operation of facilities

public permission process

Prevention by implementation of “best available techniques“ (BAT)

EU-uniform Definition of the BAT necessary
( BREF „Intensive Livestock Farming 2003)
EU-Directive on integrated pollution prevention and control IPPC-Directive / Directive on indiustrial emissions 2010/75/EU
Preconditions for Operation of Livestock Installations
• Permission (public permitting process) is needed for
– operation,
– substantial change in operation and extension of intensive
livestock installations
• Basic obligations for operation
– to prevent pollution
 application of ´Best Available Techniques´ (BAT)
– to prevent accidents and limit their consequences
– not to cause significant pollution
– to prevent or minimise waste production
– to reuse waste
– to use energy efficiently
Criteria for the Determination of
‘Best Available Technology (BAT)´
• Best techniques
– low emissions to
– air
 NH3, odour, N2O, CH4, dust, noise, ...
– soil and water  no leakage, leakage control, tight construction
– efficient use of
– energy
 for ventilation, heating, technical equipment and
– raw materials  feeding stuff, bedding materials, cleaning and
drinking water
– amount and quality of manure and waste
– animal welfare
• Available techniques
– technical and economical application possible
• Techniques
– design, construction, maintenance and operation
 'management’ or ‘good agricultural practise’

 housing, manure storing and treatment, application to
land
 consumption and emission levels, environmental effects,
cross-media effects
– Best Available Techniques (BAT)
 working principle
 system-specific parameters
 consumption and emission levels
 animal welfare
 productivity data
 applicability/functional safety/practical experiences

Outlook
• Revision of BREF-Documents
– BREF on Intensive rearing of pigs and poultry: from 6/2009 – 2011
– Deadline extended to end of 2013
– First draft spread around in July 2011 more than 2000 comments, still
200 comments open
– Second draft to expected by March 2013
• Amendment of the Directive
– stricter application of the IPPC requirements in the member states
– More weight will be given to the BREF in order to give less space for
diverging from the BAT requirements in the awarding of permits
– Encouraging the application of cost efficient measures: low-protein
feeding, low emission spreading of manures

• EU Regulations on the Integrated environmental

• Further development of the air pollution control
regulations
• Summary and outlook
Summary and Outlook
• The international agreements and European directives for air
pollution control and for integrated environmental protection will in
future further raise the environmental protection standards in farm
animal production…
• ….whereby the aspects of the animal protection, animal welfare
and work safety will have to be increasingly taken account of.
• In this respect ammonia occupies a key position because it not
only causes direct eutrophication and acidification in the
environment but also has an indirect effect through secondary
aerosol formation to fine dust pollution.
• Greenhouse gases will be playing an significant role, mitigation
options however are limited
• Therefore before 2020 there will be further emission reduction
requirements for ammonia and fine dust (PM2.5).
• Within the framework of agricultural and environment policies
(BAT Process, NEC Directive, climate protection) the international
standardisation of verification procedures for the certification of
environmentally friendly technologies in the livestock sector will
have great importance in their development and application.
