In this report, the European Commission sets out a number of concerns by the slow implementation of the environmental regulations. In September 1996, the Council of the European Union adopted Directive 96/61 concerning integrated pollution, better known as IPPC directive the prevention and control.
The IPPC directive lays down measures to prevent or, where this is not possible, reducing emissions of certain industrial activities in the air, water or soil, including measures concerning waste, in order to achieve a high level of protection of the environment considered as a whole.
Until the adoption of this community standard regulatory environmental legislation for the control of all types of polluting emissions from industrial installations, it has been characterized for being a sectorializada legislation.
