EU-MRG Stakeholder Day Comments I Annex X was designed for fine ceramics and does not reflect the specifics of coarse ceramics production Accuracy is good, but needs to be balanced against cost-efficiency EU-MRG Stakeholder Day
EU-MRG Stakeholder Day Comments II Most installations emit below 25.000 t CO2-equ. per year. To allow for cost efficiency, provisions have to be simplified: Simplify monitoring requirements Allow other means of quality assurance than EN ISO 17025 accreditation for labs No third party involvement reg. emission reports EU-MRG Stakeholder Day
