In this case, when non-discharged water represents more than 50% of total consumption, systems of treatment should be available in accordance with Decree 103/2000, of 6th March, modified by Decree 47/2005, of 22nd March.

Emissions data from inventory of 7 IPCC sectors. 1 Base year emissions: emissions for 1990 in regard to CO2, CH4 and N2O, and emissions for 1995 in regard to HFC, PFC and SF6. The base year is the method used to calculate compliance with Kyoto and, therefore, a reference point. The other reference point is the average emissions of gases CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC and SF6 in the Kyoto Protocol compliance period (2008 - 2012) Unlike Spanish inventories, this does not taek into account the land-use changes and silviculture sec-tor

Emissions data from inventory of 7 IPCC sectors. 1 Base year emissions: emissions for 1990 in regard to CO2, CH4 and N2O, and emissions for 1995 in regard to HFC, PFC and SF6. The base year is the method used to calculate compliance with Kyoto and, therefore, a reference point. The other reference point is the average emissions of gases CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC and SF6 in the Kyoto Protocol compliance period (2008 - 2012) Unlike Spanish inventories, this does not taek into account the land-use changes and silviculture sec-tor

Data of the environment18

Evolution of the number of declaring centres and declared industrial waste

Waste of industries and treatment plants is not counted. They are not business agents. With the entry into force of the European Waste Catalogue in 2002, the category inert waste is eliminated (type 210 of waste) and becomes non-hazardous (149) or hazardous in some cases (61).
