Summary

The bill clarifies the provisions of the current law and eliminates inconsistencies with EU law, which were pointed out by the European Commission. The changes are primarily of a technical nature: the wording of the provisions is improved, a more unified system of concepts is used, and the requirements for the submission and disclosure of the emergency environmental inspection report are specified. The draft stipulates that when testing and using technology that is in the developing stage, the permit grantor may make a temporary exception to the rules possible technique and to avoid contamination. The draft provides an opportunity to apply the requirement to implement appropriate preventive measures within nine months. This simplifies the testing and use of technology in the developing stage compared to the requirement established in the current law. The bill also supplements the alcohol, tobacco, fuel and electricity excise law. The extension stems from the fact that a solution has been sought for a long time in the environmental field to the problem of used tires. By now, it has become clear that tire chips could be successfully used as an input for producing shale oil. From now on, oil shale fuel oil does not have to be produced 100% from oil shale, only 70% of the mass of the main component must be oil shale, and other raw materials or fuel components can be used for the remaining 30%.
