Report: Method to include information on hazardous and other substances of concern more systematically into BREFs

The centre of this report is the analysis of the information exchange under the IED, that results in BREFs and corresponding BAT conclusions. This report presents proposals how relevant information on chemicals can be more systematically addressed at the right time during BREF reviews. Special emphasis is given to possibilities to better use available data generated in the context of other pertinent EU legislation. The report not only proposes general measures for improvement of the BAT information exchange but also focuses on what specifically has to be improved, by which means and how it could be done.
