In its 2005 Report on the implementation of the IPPC Directive, the Commission has set up an Action Plan (updated in 2007, see 2007 Communication) to support the Member States and monitor the progress made towards meeting.

As part of the Action Plan, several initiatives have been undertaken, including:

• Setting up of indicators on the number of permits issued for existing installations
• Use of EPER to identify installations with reported emissions of more than 10% of EU wide total emissions (see also document submitted by the United Kingdom)
• Assessment of the implementation of the IPPC (in particular see study launched on the assessment of 30 particular installations, more information on CIRCA IPPC Review web site)
• Finalisation of the first round of BREFs and start of their review
• Development of guidance on the interpretation of certain key provisions of the Directive
