Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on reporting of environmental data from industrial installations and establishing an Industrial Emissions Portal

This proposal revises Regulation (EC) No 166/20061 establishing the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR), as the Europe-wide register providing public access to key environmental data from industrial facilities located in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. The E-PRTR contains data reported annually by some 30,000 industrial facilities which cover 65 economic activities across the EU. Every year, Member States send the Commission a report containing data submitted by the operators of industrial facilities on the releases and transfers of each facility. The data are then published by the Commission on a public website, with the support of the European Environment Agency.
