Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
Paragraph (c) contains an indicative list of circumstances in which a review might be required, but it is not designed to be definitive. It would be unwise to go beyond the mandatory circumstances in section 90 in which the reviews must be carried out and which reflect the terms of Article 13 of the IPPC directive. It is essential that full authority in relation to IPPC licensing and reviews remain with the EPA. I think we would all subscribe to that. Accordingly, I cannot accept the amendment.
