Directive 2008/1/EC[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32008L0001 Directive 2008/1/EC] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control is a directive of the European Union. It replaces the Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A31996L0061 Directive 96/61/EC] on the same subject matter; both are commonly referred to as IPPC Directive.

From 2005 to 2007, the effect of the directive was assessed. In 2010, a revised wording was published, integrated with 6 other European directives regulating large industrial sites, into the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU, short IED.[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02010L0075-20110106 Directive 2010/75/EU]

European IPPC Bureau

The European IPPC Bureau[https://eippcb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ European IPPC Bureau (EIPPCB)] was established in 1997 to organize an exchange of information between the European Commission, EU Member States, industries concerned, and non-governmental organizations promoting environmental protection for drawing up and reviewing Best Available Techniques (short: 'BAT') reference documents (short: 'BREFs'). These reference documents, specifically the BAT conclusions therein, provide the basis for EU Member States to grant operating permits for large agro-industrial installations. The information exchange is codified into law by Commission Implementing Decision 2012/119/EU and referred to as Sevilla process,[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02012D0119-20120302 Implementing Decision 2012/119/EU] named after the city of Seville where the European IPPC Bureau is located.
