L 335/52 Official Journal of the European Union 14.12.2013 COMMISSION DECISION of 12 December 2013 on the notification by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of a transitional national plan referred to in Article 32 of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions (notified under document C(2013) 8815) (Only the English text is authentic) (2013/761/EU) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) (1), and in particular Article 32(5) second subparagraph thereof, Whereas: (1) In accordance with Article 32(5) first subparagraph of Directive 2010/75/EU, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the United Kingdom) submitted to the Commission a transitional national plan (TNP) on 14 December 2012 (3). (2 The TNP has been assessed in accordance with Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and with Commission Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU (3). (3)  During its assessment of the completeness of the TNP submitted by the United Kingdom, the Commission found that many data essential for the assessment were missing from the TNP and that the data template provided for in Table A.1 in Appendix A of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU was not fully completed. The Commission also noted that for many plants the data included in the TNP did not match with the data in the 2009 emission inventory submitted by the United Kingdom in accordance with Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (¥).

(}) Commission Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU of 10 February 2012 laying down rules concerning the transitional national plans referred to in Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions (O] L 52, 24.2.2012, p. 12). Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into air from large combustion plants (OJ L 309, 27.11.2001, p. 1). = = S As the missing data and the discrepancies between the TNP and the emission inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC hampered the assessment of the TNP, the Commission, in its letter of 3 June 2013 (%), requested the United Kingdom to resubmit the TNP using the correct data templates and including the missing data, and to clarify the differences found between the TNP and the 2009 emission inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC, as well as to explicitly confirm that the aggregation rules set out in Article 29 of Directive 2010/75/EU had been applied for the compilation of the TNP. The United Kingdom submitted additional information to the Commission on 18 June 2013 (%), 19 June 2013 (), 20 June 2013 (% and 1 July 2013 (°). In these submissions, the United Kingdom provided most of the missing data using the required templates, as well as a partial clarification of the differences between the information in the TNP and the 2009 emission inventory under Directive 2001/80/EC. After further assessment of the TNP and the additional information submitted by the United Kingdom, the Commission sent a second letter on 10 September 2013 (19). In this letter, the Commission repeated its request to the United Kingdom to explicitly confirm that for all plants included in the TNP the aggregation rules set out in Article 29 of Directive 2010/75/EU were applied correctly and asked the United Kingdom to confirm that none of the combustion plants that benefited from the exemption set out in Article 4(4) of Directive 2001/80/EC was part of the TNP. The Commission further questioned the eligibility of a number of plants to be included in the TNP and requested additional data and/or clarifications concerning the average waste gas flow rates, conversion factors, total rated thermal input and emission limit values applied for certain plants, in particular multi-fuel firing plants and gas turbines. The Commission also requested the United Kingdom to provide information on the measures foreseen for 120 plants included in the TNP to ensure timely compliance with the emission limit values that will apply from 1 July 2020. 1635147. 2381277. 2381361. 2381402. 2972980. 3015778.
