Description
Summary:Cyprus is one of the candidate countries to become a full member of the European Union. In order to access formally to the EU, Cyprus has to follow an implementation process and take into account all the obligations that the fifteen Member States have to respect. A large number of obligations derive from the European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive 96/61/EC, which intends to result in the protection of the environment as a whole and the public health as well. This will be the outcome of determining ways of pollution prevention and control for several industrial sectors, which are covered by the IPPC Directive and then taking action so that all operators act according to the Directive's demands. In this framework, the National Technical University of Athens, after thorough examination of a large number of documents relevant to the Best Available Techniques (BATs), developed guidelines for the application of BATs for 14 categories of the industry of Cyprus. This paper concerns the developed guidelines for slaughterhouses.
