After 3 years of intense work, the review of the EU environment standards for waste treatment is reaching an end. The Final stakeholders' experts meeting took place in Seville on 19-23 March 2017. During this meeting, the stakeholders (16 EU Member States, Norway, 19 industrial organisations and one environmental NGO), together with the JRC and other Commission services, completed the technical work to define the Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for the waste treatment sector as part of the review of the Waste Treatment Best Available Techniques Reference Document (BREF), dated 2006, under the Industrial Emissions Directive. The meeting achieved large consensus on the various issues under discussion.
