In the following compressed files, you will find several presentations related to the implementation of the IPPC Directive in Spain and Poland at central and regional level:

• Examples of voluntary agreements between industry and Competent Authority

A tool which proved useful in Spain to soften the adaptation of some industrial sectors or particular installations to the new requirements related to the IPPC Directive was the preparation of voluntary agreements between industry and Competent Authority, which include a calendar with environmental objectives for the industry and the compromise by the CA to support the industry in the associated procedures and, given the case, granting schemes. The following examples can be downloaded below:

- Agreement between the cement industry and the Ministry of Environment of Spain
- Agreement between the national association of pulp, paper and cardboard manufacturers and the Ministry of Environment of Spain, to regulate the wastewater discharges of that industry
