<h2 id="european-ippc-bureau">European IPPC Bureau</h2> <p>The European IPPC Bureau<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> was established in 1997 to organize an exchange of information between the European Commission, EU Member States, industries concerned, and non-governmental organizations promoting environmental protection for drawing up and reviewing <a href="/facts/Best_Available_Technology/af7HYhPw">Best Available Techniques</a> (short: 'BAT') reference documents (short: '<a href="/facts/Best_Available_Techniques_Reference_Document_(BREF)/K42dhW3C">BREFs</a>'). These reference documents, specifically the BAT conclusions therein, provide the basis for EU Member States to grant operating permits for large agro-industrial installations. The information exchange is codified into law by Commission Implementing Decision 2012/119/EU and referred to as <a href="/facts/Sevilla_process/N5Grz595">Sevilla process</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> named after the city of <a href="/facts/Seville/weWX4eIK">Seville</a> where the European IPPC Bureau is located. </p> <h3>Similar agencies</h3> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Climate_Change_Agreement/pzyINB8M">Climate Change Agreement</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/United_States_Environmental_Protection_Agency/ghI985SI">US EPA</a> – SPCC</li></ul> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Best_Available_Techniques_Reference_Document_(BREF)/K42dhW3C">Best Available Techniques Reference Document (BREF)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/NanoMemPro_IPPC_Database/02jaVcVD">NanoMemPro IPPC Database</a></li></ul> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/environment/waste_management/l28045_en.htm">EU legislation summary</a></li> <li><a href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2008:024:0008:0029:EN:PDF">Text of the directive (pdf)</a></li> <li><a href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32008L0001:EN:NOT">Text of directive with headers (html)</a></li> <li><a href="http://eippcb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/">European IPPC Bureau home page</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.curia.europa.eu/common/biblio/bib200506parteA.pdf">The implementation of the IPPC Directive in Latvia / Edward Lestrade.
