Manuel Gouveia Pereira's article in the Iberian Lawyer

The Portuguese Government recently launched a public consultation among the main entities and stakeholders of the industrial sector, including public entities and environmental organisations, to discuss a proposal of the new industrial emissions regime. This will enact Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions, laying down rules on integrated prevention and control of pollution arising from industrial activities.

Manuel Gouveia Pereira, managing associate at VdA's Real Estate and Environment practice is the author of an article in the Iberian Lawyer in which he outlines the main obligations for operators that will arise from the new law, underlining that the definitive version is expected to be approved after the summer of 2013.
