Conclusions
» Up to now: no clearly established and generally accepted methodology for determining BAT-AELs at sector level
» Methodology developed:» Will increase objectivity and transparency of BAT-AELs
determination process» Will increase level of consensus on BAT-AELs, thus ELVs» Is also applicable for determining BAT-AELs for other
environmental aspects (other than discharge of industrial waste water)
» It is essential that industry is involved in process of determining BAT-AELs and is prepared to provide necessary information !BREF with well founded BAT-AELs will lead to similar
permit conditionsand a better environment.
