EU Calls for Comments on Functioning Of Pollutant Release and Transfer Registry

摘要

The European Commission is calling for input through Oct. 15 on the European Union's European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Regulation (E-PRTR, (EC) No 166/2006), under which information on pollutant emissions from industrial sites in the bloc is published online. The commission said the consultation, which opened July 23, would help it evaluate the "effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, relevance and the EU added value" of the E-PRTR Regulation. Consultation questions cover the ease of collating data for the E-PRTR and providing it to the commission and the European Environment Agency, which oversee the public database, and the usefulness and user-friendliness of the E-PRTR website.
