COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/142
of 31 January 2022
amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1741 as regards the reporting on production volume and correcting that Implementing Decision
(notified under document C(2022) 451)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 January 2006 concerning the establishment of a European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and amending Council Directives 91/689/EEC and 96/61/EC (1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1741 (2) sets out the format and frequency of the annual reporting of data on releases of pollutants to air, water and land and on off-site waste transfers. |
(2) |
It follows from Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1741 that the Member States are required to report data on production volume for each facility concerned with regard to sectors where the Commission has established units and metrics for reporting. |
(3) |
In order to improve the effectiveness of the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) as a comprehensive source of environmental information and the use of reported data for benchmarking the environmental performance of industrial facilities, there is a need for mandatory reporting on production volume for each facility concerned and, consequently, for establishing the units and metrics to be used for such reporting and for setting out in further detail the format for the reporting on production volume. |
(4) |
It is appropriate to provide sufficient time for the operators of concerned facilities and Member States’ competent authorities to take the measures necessary to enable the reporting of production volume in accordance with the new format. The requirement to report such data should therefore apply from the reporting year 2023. |
(5) |
Table notes (9) and (10) in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1741 refer to table note (7) of that Annex, which concerns the mandatory nature and date of application of the reporting on production volume, whereas they should have referred to table note (8) of that Annex, which concerns the publication of individual data points. |
(6) |
Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1741 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly. |
(7) |
These efforts will feed into the outlook and foresight dimension of the Zero Pollution Monitoring Framework under the EU’s Action Plan ‘Towards a Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil’ (3), thus helping anticipate policy challenges and identify the most effective and preventive solutions. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established by Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 166/2006, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
