lpv:translated text	". The adoption of this directive on waste incineration, which will come into force with effect from 2005, will considerably improve the current waste management framework in Europe, by giving higher priority to important criteria such as public health and the protection of citizens’ rights. 7. Makes continuous sampling of dioxins a compulsory requirement in incineration and co-incineration processes. 8. Increases the role of the public in decision making on the siting of installations. 9. Makes it compulsory to publish an annual environmental report on compliance with limit values. 10. Considerably limits the present derogations for cement kilns. 11. For the first time sets a limit value for emissions of ammonia, NH3, in view of the atmospheric acidification caused by this chemical product. Furthermore, if this directive were to come into force immediately, rather than in 2005 as is unfortunately the case, it would be virtually impossible for the Portuguese Government to continue with its co-incineration strategy. As it is, given that this directive imposes strict technical, legal and operational restrictions on all incineration and co-incineration processes across Europe, it will become more obvious that the strategy being pursued in Portugal is deeply flawed. Accordingly, although I would have liked to go further with restrictions on incineration and co-incineration processes, I am nevertheless delighted with what has been achieved, given that this directive: 1. Establishes stricter limit values for emissions, in particular those of carbon oxides and particulates. 2. Will put incineration and co-incineration plants on the same footing in terms of limit values, removing the special status granted to co-incineration plants. 3. States without any doubt whatsoever that incineration and co-incineration may only be used as a last resort, once all other technical avenues have been explored. 4. Sets extremely rigid conditions for overall waste management and for the siting and size of incineration and co-incineration plants, which must be complied with before permission can be granted to any authority. 5. Increases the relevant authorities’ powers of intervention in case of non-compliance with limit values at installations. 6. Drastically reduces the scope for using the end waste from incineration and co-incineration, particularly in civil engineering projects."@en1
