Proposal for a directive
Recital 9

(9) This Directive should not apply to energy related products covered by implementing measures adopted in accordance with Directive 2009/125/EC or by ~~Chapter III or IV of~~ Directive 2010/75/EU. Certain other combustion plants should also be exempted from the scope of this Directive, on the basis of their technical characteristics or their use in particular activities.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9 a (new)

(9a) The emission limit values set out in Annex II should not apply to medium combustion plants located in the Canary Islands, French Overseas Departments, and the archipelagos of Madeira and Azores, because of the technical and logistical problems associated with those plants' isolated location. Member States should set emission values for those plants in order to reduce their emissions to air and the potential risks to human health and the environment.

~~Emission monitoring~~ Part 1: Monitoring of emissions by the operator 1. Periodic measurements of SO2, NOx and ~~particulate matter~~dust shall be required at least every three years for ~~medium~~, as an alternative, after a maximum of 4500 operating hours, for combustion plants ~~the~~with a rated thermal input ~~of which is~~ greater than 1 MW and less than 20 MW, and at least annually ~~for medium~~or, as an alternative, after a maximum of 1500 operating hours, for combustion plants ~~the~~with a rated thermal input ~~of which is~~ equal to or greater than 20 MW but less than 50 MW. 2. Measurements are only required for pollutants for which an emission limit value is laid down in Annex II for the plant concerned. 3. The first measurements shall be carried out within ~~three~~six months following the permit or registration of the plant or the date of start of the operation, whichever is the latest. 4. As an alternative to the measurements of SO2 referred to in point 1, other procedures, verified and approved by the competent authority, may be used to determine the SO2 emissions. 5. Sampling and analysis of polluting substances and measurements of process parameters as well as any alternatives used as referred to under point 4, shall be carried out in accordance with CEN standards. If CEN standards are not available, ISO, national or other international standards which ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality shall applybased on methods enabling reliable, representative and comparable results. Methods complying with EN standards shall be presumed to satisfy this requirement.

5a. As an alternative to the periodic measurements referred to in point 1, Member States may require continuous measurements. In the case of continuous measurements, the automated measuring systems shall be subject to control by means of parallel measurements with the reference methods at least once per year and the operator shall inform the competent authority about the results of those controls.

Proposal for a directive
Annex IV – part 1 a (new)

Part 1a: Assessment of compliance 1. In the case of periodic measurements, the emission limit values referred to in Article 5 shall be regarded as having been complied with if the results of each of the series of measurements or of the other procedures defined and determined according to the rules laid down by the competent authorities, do not exceed the relevant emission limit value. 2. In the case of continuous measurements, compliance with the emission limit values referred to in Article 5 shall be assessed as set out in point 1 of Part 4 of Annex V of Directive 2010/75/EU. The validated average values are determined as set out in points 9 and 10 of Part 3 of Annex V of Directive 2010/75/EU. For the purpose of the calculation of the average emission values, the values measured during the periods referred to in Article 5(6) and 5(7) as well as during the start-up and shut-down periods shall be disregarded.
