About us

The European IPPC Bureau exists to catalyse an exchange of information between Member States and the industries concerned on Best Available Techniques (BAT), as required by Article 13(1) of the Industrial Emissions Directive, IED (2010/75/EU). The IED is a major environmental legislation which regulates around 50000 installations in the EU dealing with a wide range of industrial and agricultural activities.

The Commission's guidance on the practical arrangements for the exchange of information under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED, 2010/75/EU), including the collection of data, the drawing up of BAT reference documents (BREFs) and their quality assurance' as required by Article 13(3)(c) and (d) of the Directive can be found in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The mission of the JRC is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whether private or national.
