(19a) Large combustion plants also contribute greatly to emissions of carbon dioxide into air resulting in an increase in the concentrations of carbon dioxide in air, thus increasing global climate change and inducing many detrimental impacts and feedbacks to human and ecological systems. Such increasing concentrations are rapidly approaching or have already passed critical thresholds that will lead to substantially greater climate change and an increase in average surface temperatures well above the EU's target of less than 2° Celsius that will be beyond human abilities to manage or recover from within imaginable time-scales. The Community's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), while potentially providing a useful if slow framework for economy- wide reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, does not provide a sufficiently strong price signal to prevent new very large point sources of carbon dioxide from entering or remaining in the system and thus inflating EU emission allowance (EUA) prices. Therefore it is necessary to include provisions requiring carbon dioxide emission limit values to air in Community industrial pollution law for new installations with an electrical capacity of more than 300MW, and for these limit values to be applied to existing installations in due course.

Article 33a Emission Limit Value for Carbon Dioxide 1. From 1 January 2010, all permits for electricity-generating large combustion installations with a capacity of more than 300 megawatts that are granted a construction permit, or in the absence of such a procedure granted the original operating permit, on or after 1 January 2010 shall include conditions requiring compliance with an emission limit value to air of 450 grammes of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour of electrical output. 2. By 1 January 2025 all permits for electricity-generating large combustion installations with a capacity of more than 300 megawatts other than those installations covered by paragraph 1 shall include conditions requiring compliance with an emission limit value to air of 450 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt hour of electrical output. 3. The emission limit value referred to in paragraphs 1 & 2 shall be verified on an annual basis by the competent national authority. 4. By 30 June 2014, the Commission shall review the provisions of this Article taking into account overall progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the potential contribution of appropriate abatement techniques. The review shall consider in particular lowering the emission limit value referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, bringing forward the date referred to in paragraph 2 or introducing a phased approach, and widening the scope of application to include large combustion installations other than those in the electricity sector. On conclusion of the review, the Commission shall where appropriate bring forward proposals.

Annex VIII – part 2 – paragraph 1
1. Tests for acute toxicity shall be carried out on certain species of molluscs, crustaceans, fish and plankton, commonly found in the discharge areas. In addition, tests shall be done on samples of the brine shrimp species (Artemia salina).1. Tests for acute toxicity shall be carried out on certain species of molluscs, crustaceans, fish and plankton, commonly found in the discharge areas. In addition, tests shall be done on samples of the brine shrimp species (Artemia salina)species representative of the discharge area.
Amendment 531 #
Annex VIII – part 3 – paragraph 1
1. The emission limit values which are expressed as concentrations in mass per cubic meter (Nm3) shall be calculated at a temperature of 273,15 K, a pressure of 101,3 kPa and after correction for the water vapour content of the waste gases.

Amendment 533 #
Article 16 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 2
Those emission limit values shall however not exceed the emission limit values set out in Annexes V to VIII, where applicable, in Article 14(1a). When emission limit values, equivalent parameters and technical measures are set in accordance with this paragraph, wthe re applicable. asons for allowing emission levels as described in the BAT reference documents should be documented and justified in an annex to the permit conditions.
