Revision of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED)
|
|
In April, the European Commission adopted proposals for revised EU measures to address pollution from large industrial installations through revision of the IED and the E-PRTR Regulation (to create the Industrial Emissions Portal). In line with the European Green Deal, the overall aim of these proposals is to progress towards the EU’s zero pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment and to support climate, energy and circular economy policies.

EU Green Week: Session 2 - Zero Pollution - Who pays the price for pollution?
|
|
Pollution affects health and biodiversity, but all too often those who cause pollution do not fully pay for all the consequences. And it is often the most vulnerable in society who pay the price. Assigning a right price to pollution and creating incentives for alternatives, as required by the polluter pays principle, constitute a key driver to stimulate cleaner production and consumption. During this session of the EU Green Week conference on 31 May 2020, the speakers will discuss how we can better implement the polluter pays principle and thereby complete the phasing out of "pollution for free".
