IMPLEMENTATION OF IPPC DIRECTIVE IN ROMANIA Regarding to BAT BREF requirements. Emission limits values. The Emissions Limit Values for the IPPC activities/installations are established on the basis of the following documents: the recommendations specified in the Guidebook on the Best Available Techniques; the provisions of the national legislation in force; the technical characteristics of the installation; evaluations of the environmental quality in the considered perimeter; geographical placement and the environment conditions; the development/extension of other industrial activities in the area; cost/benefit analysis.
