"When our MEPs like Paolo De Castro and Herbert Dorfmann team up, the results come on time". Carlo Siciliani, UNICEB President, declared himself extremely satisfied with the result of the European Parliament plenary vote on the revision of the IED Directive, which confirmed what the Agriculture Commission had indicated.
The EU Commission's proposal to include cattle farms of 150 LU in the Industrial Emissions Directive was rejected, along with the stop to further burdens on pig and poultry farms.
"We have succeeded in blocking an ideological approach that for some time has been trying to equate livestock farms with industrial activities, even going against the same statistical data that, as far as Italy is concerned, indicate only 4% of emissions attributable to the livestock sector (meat, milk and eggs).
We must emphasise,' Siciliani concludes, 'the work carried out with particular commitment by Paolo de Castro in the Agriculture Commission of the European Parliament, which has allowed this great result to be achieved.
