2013/799/EU: Commission Decision of 17 December 2013 on the notification by the Kingdom of Spain of a transitional national plan referred to in Article 32 of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on industrial emissions (notified under document C(2013) 9089)
1. The transitional national plan which the Kingdom of Spain notified to the Commission pursuant to Article 32(5) of Directive 2010/75/EU on 14 December 2012, which includes the large combustion plants listed in Annex I to this decision, is not in accordance with the requirements laid down in Article 32(1), (3) and (4) of Directive 2010/75/EU and in Implementing Decision 2012/115/EU, and shall, therefore, not be accepted.
2. If the Kingdom of Spain intends to implement a transitional national plan pursuant to Article 32(5), it shall take all necessary measures to address, in a revised version of the plan, the following elements:
(a)
for plant 2, to correct the emission limit value applied for calculating its contribution to the SO 2 ceiling for 2016; the plant is not eligible for using the emission limit value of 800 mg/Nm 3 for SO 2 for calculating its contribution to the 2016 TNP ceiling on the basis of Article 5(2) of Directive 2001/80/EC, as that emission limit value is not referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 32(3) of Directive 2010/75/EU;
(b)
for plant 5, to correct the method applied for calculating its contribution to the 2016 TNP ceiling for SO 2 ; that contribution shall be calculated for the entire period 2001-2010 either on the basis of the minimum desulphurisation rate, or on the basis of the emission limit values;
(c)
for plants 13, 15, 17, 18, 24 and 25: to correct the emission limit values applied for calculating their contribution to the NO x ceiling for 2016; in order for the plants to be eligible for using the emission limit value of 1 200 mg/Nm 3 , the Kingdom of Spain shall demonstrate that the average annual volatile content of the solid fuel used in the plants was below 10 % in the reference years considered for the TNP;
(d)
to correctly update the total emission ceilings for all years calculated in accordance with the corrected values mentioned in the previous points;
(e)
to clarify all issues and complement the data as mentioned in Annex II to this decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.
