The derogation shall only be granted if a technical assessment demonstrates that due to the geographical location and the localor environmental conditions, set emission limit values deviating from those set by the application of paragraph 3. the implementation of a best available technique described in the BREF would cause a significant negative cross-media- effect and therefore be clearly incompatible with the objectives set out in Article 11 (c), (d) and (f) and Article 4 of Directive 2000/60/EC1. _____________ 1 Directive 2000/60/ establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy
