What changed between the plenary report and the adopted text

Recital 38 b (new): (38b) From the entry into force of this amending act, Member States should take adequate measures to ensure that the competent authorities are able to handle the increased workload related to implementing Directive 2010/75/EU as amended by this Directive and ensure a swift efficient and smooth permitting process, in particular, in the case of fast-track permits for installations applying emerging techniques, thus, reducing the uncertainty for businesses to a minimum and supporting transformation towards a clean, circular and climate-neutral industry, while safeguarding the health and rights of the public concerned.

Change 4

Added:Recital 41 a (new): (41a) Combustion plants that are part of small isolated systems, specifically those located in the outermost regions, may, due to their geographical location and lack of interconnection to the mainland grid of Member States or the grid of another Member State, face special challenges requiring more time to comply with the obligations set out in Directive 2010/75/EU. The Member States concerned should establish a plan for compliance covering combustion plants being part of a small isolated system that sets out the measures taken by the Member State to ensure compliance with the emission limit values at the latest by 31 December 2029. The plan should describe the measures taken to ensure compliance, apply the best available techniques as applicable and measures to minimise the magnitude and duration of the pollutant emissions during the period covered by the plan and include information on demand management measures and possibilities for switching to cleaner alternatives such as the deployment of renewables and interconnection with the mainland grids or the grid of another Member State. Member States concerned should communicate their Compliance Plan to the Commission. Member States should update the plan in case the Commission raises objections. Member States concerned should report annually on progress towards compliance.
