Response to EU rules on industrial emissions - revision

15 Jun 2022

CIELFFA is representing the interests of the European cold rolling industry, an independent sector of the steel manufacturing industry with mostly small and medium-sized companies. We strongly oppose the inclusion of cold rolling mills in the scope of the IED for the following main reasons: - No significant adverse environmental impacts arise from this industry. This was shown by the data collection on cold rolling mills in the context of the revision of the BREF Steel Processing. - There are no substantial environmental benefits when small and medium-sized cold rolling companies will be included in the IED. - The European cold rolling industry would therefore be burdened with unnecessary double regulation and bureaucracy. - Consequently, it endangers the existence of entire company sites in Europe. Further and detailed reasons for the rejection of the inclusion of cold rolling mills in the IED can be found in our position paper enclosed. We thank you for considering our position in the upcoming consultation of the IED revision!
