Parliament has adopted its position for negotiations with Council on rules to reduce pollution and steer large agro-industrial installations in the green transition.
Parliament’s position on the industrial emission directive (IED) and the directive on the landfill of waste was adopted by MEPs with 396 votes in favour, 102 against and 131 abstentions. On the regulation on the Industrial Emissions Portal, MEPs adopted their negotiating mandate with 563 votes in favour, 51 against and 18 abstentions.
Concerning livestock farms, MEPs voted to keep the current rules and include pig farms with more than 2 000 places for production pigs (over 30 kg), or with more than 750 places for sows and poultry farms with more than 40 000 places for poultry as well as farms with more than 750 livestock units (LSU). Parliament does not want to extend it to cattle farms as proposed by the Commission. The Commission originally proposed a threshold of 150 LSU for all livestock.
MEPs also underline the importance of ensuring producers outside the EU meet requirements similar to EU rules.
Parliament is now ready to start negotiations with Council on the final shape of the legislation.
