 The IPPC system applies an integrated environmental approach to the regulation of certain industrial activities. This means that emissions to air, water (including discharges to sewer) and land, plus a range of other environmental effects, must be considered together. The Competent Authority - Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA) - must set permit conditions so as to achieve a high level of protection for the environment as a whole. These conditions are based on the application of Best Available Techniques (BAT), which balances the costs to the operator against the benefits to the environment. Ais Environmental has provided guidance to both MEPA as the Competenet Authority and relevant operators on the implementation of the EU IPPC Directive in Malta. Of recent, Ais Environmental is offering guidance to various pharmaceutical entities, with respect to their obligations to IPPC regulations.
