Changes from adopted text to adopted text

RemovedRecital 15: (15) Operators of installations should also report general information concerning the production volume and operating hours of the concerned installation, as well as information on accidents that have led to releases, provided the extent of that information does not exceed what is necessary to enable the contextualisation of reported data on pollutant releases and off-site transfers of waste and waste water.

RemovedRecital 16: (16) The overall benefit of the Portal for access to environmental information concerning industrial installations should be maximised by including links to the summary of the permit, the environmental management system, and the transformation plan, as well as to other information flows that stem from Union environmental legislation on climate change, air, water and land protection and on waste management, including reporting under Directive 2012/18/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council41, Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council42 and Directive 2010/75/EU. Moreover, in order to maximise the Portal’s value to users, it should be designed to facilitate future integration with other relevant environmental data flows.

RemovedRecital 20: (20) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the provisions of this Regulation regarding reporting by Member States, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to establish the type and format of information to be provided, including standardised electronic forms where appropriate, and the reporting deadlines. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council43.

RemovedRecital 21: (21) Given the importance for the Union citizens of quick access to environmental information, it is essential that Member States and the Commission make data publicly available as fast as technically feasible, and in any event not later than one month after the information has been generated. To that end, whereas the precise reporting deadline is to be established in an implementing act, it should be no later than 11 months after the end of the reporting year.

RemovedRecital 23: (23) Data reported electronically by the Member States and operators should be of high quality in particular as regards their accuracy, completeness, consistency and credibility. Competent authorities should therefore assess the quality of the data provided by operators.

RemovedRecital 25: (25) Public participation should be ensured in further development of the Portal by providing early, regular and effective opportunities to submit comments, information, analysis and opinions for the decision-making process.

RemovedRecital 26: (26) In order to enhance the usefulness and impact of the Portal, the Commission, supported by the Agency, should facilitate the harmonisation of the electronic provision of data, in order to ease their circulation and publication, and should develop guidance supporting the implementation of this Regulation as well as provide technical assistance, for instance, to support the development of electronic forms.

AddedPosition of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 12 March 2024 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2024/… of the European Parliament and of the Council on reporting of environmental data from industrial installations, establishing an Industrial Emissions Portal and repealing Regulation (EC) No 166/2006

RemovedRecital 29: (29) The Commission should also be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty to amend Annex II to this Regulation to determine reporting thresholds, to add pollutants, in particular substances of emerging concern, such as micropollutants or microplastics, including in their nano forms, which are subject to specific regulatory measures under Union law on water and air quality and on chemicals, including Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council52 , Directives 2000/60/EC53 , 2004/107/EC54 , 2006/118/EC55 , 2008/50/EC56 and 2008/105/EU57 of the European Parliament and of the Council, to reflect changes made to the Protocol with regard to the pollutants to be reported or their reporting thresholds, and to adapt that Annex to scientific or technical progress.

Added(As an agreement was reached between Parliament and Council, Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1244.)

RemovedRecital 30: (30) When adopting delegated acts, it is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level and at the level of the relevant specialists and industrial sectors, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making58.
