THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (1), and in particular Article 32(5), second subparagraph thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In accordance with Article 32(5) first subparagraph of Directive 2010/75/EU, Ireland submitted to the Commission its transitional national plan (TNP) on 31 December 2012 (2). |
(2) |
During its assessment of the completeness of the TNP, the Commission found some inconsistencies between the list of plants included in the TNP and those reported by Ireland in its emission inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), as well as missing information for one plant, all of which hampered the assessment of the TNP data. |
(3) |
By letter of 3 June 2013 (4), the Commission requested the Irish authorities to provide clarification about any inconsistencies between the TNP and the inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC, as well as a clarification concerning one combustion plant. |
(4) |
Ireland submitted additional information to the Commission by letter of 10 July 2013 concerning, inter alia, the removal of one plant from the TNP (5). |
(5) |
After further assessment of the TNP and the additional information provided, the Commission sent a second letter on 4 September 2013 (6) in which it requested for clarification of the date on which the first permit was granted for several plants, and on the correct application of the aggregation rules defined in Article 29 of the IED. The Commission also requested a revision of the calculation of the contribution to the TNP ceilings for multi-fuel fired plants. |
(6) |
By e-mail of 23 September 2013 (7) Ireland provided the requested additional information and clarifications, in conformity with Commission Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU (8). |
(7) |
The TNP has therefore been assessed by the Commission in accordance with Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and with Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU. |
(8) |
In particular, the Commission has examined the consistency and correctness of the data, assumptions and calculations used for determining the contributions of each of the combustion plants covered by the TNP to the emission ceilings set out in the TNP, and has analysed whether it contains objectives and related targets, measures and timetables for reaching these objectives and a monitoring mechanism to assess future compliance. |
(9) |
Further to the additional information submitted, the Commission found that the emission ceilings for the years 2016 and 2019 were calculated using the appropriate data and formulae and that the calculations were correct. Ireland has provided sufficient information regarding the measures that will be implemented in order to achieve the emission ceilings, the monitoring and the reporting to the Commission on the implementation of the TNP. |
(10) |
The Commission is satisfied that the Irish authorities have taken into consideration the provisions listed in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU. |
(11) |
The implementation of the TNP should be without prejudice to other... |
