Resumen

Summary: This article examines the legal implications of the forthcoming IPPC Directive for the regulation of aquatic and atmospheric emissions of pollutants from activities currently covered by the provisions of Directives 76/464/EEC and 84/360/EEC.

The concept of ' best available techniques ', as defined in the IPPC Directive, is virtually devoid of prescriptive value
