Daughter directive

Soil-sediment-groundwater-related issues, as experienced in River Basin practise, including those related to implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Groundwater Daughter Directive (GWDD)... 

The NPL testing facility is used to perform all the laboratory tests specified within the Environment Agency s MCERTS Scheme for CEM systems. This MCERTS Scheme is to be extended to cover ambient air quality monitoring instrumentation particularly that required within the EC Air Quality Framework and Daughter Directives, in the near future. 

One of the intended daughter directives was published on the same date directive 73/405/EEC [9] provided the required test methodology for anionic surfactant primary biodegradability based on reduction of MBAS and set a test level of 80% or greater for the use of these surfactants in detergents. The second daughter directive, 82/242/EEC [10], was published in the early 1980s and covered non-ionic surfactants based on reduction... 

Environmental quality standards (EQSs) are widely used to help protect the environment and human health and are considered by many to consist simply of the stated limit value for a substance plus, perhaps, the time over which the standard applies. An example of this might be an annual average EQS for lead in water of 7.2 pg Ir1 to protect the freshwater environment as proposed in the Water Framework Daughter Directive on EQS (European Commission [EC] 2006). 

Key European Directive Release Controls Dangerous Substances Directive (76/464/EEC) and amendments (1997) The Directive establishes a system for controlling releases of dangerous substances to water through the setting of environmental quality standards for certain substances included in a list of daughter directives. 

Water Framework Directive (2000/ 60/EC) One of the largest and most significant pieces of EU water policy to be developed for at least 20 years. It uses a new and integrated approach to the protection, improvement and sustainable use of river basins for the benefit of people and biodiversity. The provisions of the Directive take over the framework for the control of pollution by dangerous substances under Directive 76/ 464/EEC and will be supplemented by a new groundwater daughter directive. 

Reading this, some parents may wonder that if most treatment is directed toward membership in an AA or similar self-help program, why not get their son or daughter directly into a twelve-step group (which is free) and skip treatment (which is expensive) ... 

This is one of the daughter directives of the Framework Directive discussed above [12], It applies to substances and processes specified in Annex 1 of the Directive, as well as to substances labelled R-45, may cause cancer (under the Classification and Labelling Directive, [1]. It was adopted in June 1990, and scheduled for implementation by Member States by 31 December 1992. 

Numerous legislative changes led to reduction in the levels of amine discharges, particularly to estuarine and coastal waters (e.g., the Dangerous Substances Directive 74/464/EEC and daughter directives, which set environmental quality standards for a number of substances the Shellfish Waters Directive 79/923/EEC, which specified a range of further standards for waters supporting... 

In accordance with the framework directive limit values have to be established in daughter directives. Two of these daughter directives have already been adopted, the first one relating to limit values for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and lead in ambient air (Council Directive 99/30/EC 1999 see Table 1.8), and the second one on limit values for benzene and carbon monoxide (Council Directive 00/69/EC 2000), which have to be transferred into national legislation by July 19, 2001 and December 13,... 

Limit values for arsenic, cadmium and nickel compounds in ambient air will be established in the upcoming, fourth daughter directive. 

Tab.1.8 Limit values for lead of the German 22. BImSchV (2002) according to the first daughter directive 99/30/EC (1999) and the directive 82/884/EWG (1982) (annual means)...

In the upcoming, fourth daughter directive to the framework directive 96/62/EG, limit values for cadmium, nickel and arsenic (especially cadmium-deposition) will have to be discussed again. 

Europe issued 18 black list substances daughter directives. These include an environmental quality standard (EQS) that the surface water must meet. Regarding the other dangerous substances, the Member States were compelled to draw up reduction programs. The set-up of the reduction programs did not occur until many years later. 

Via European daughter directives Reduction programmes of the Member States... 

Article 16 of the WFD states that the European Commission must define the priority substances as well as the priority hazardous substances. By implementing this provision, the daughter Directive on Priority Substances was raised in 2008. This directive was in 2013 supplemented with revised standards and new substances. Priority substances are hazardous substances representing a significant risk to the aquatic en-viromnent and for which measures are formulated aimed at the progressive reduction of emissions of these substances. Some of these substances have been identified as priority hazardous substances, for which measures should be aimed at the cessation or phasing out of discharges, emissions, and losses. 

The daughter directive(s) Priority Substances, 2008/105/EC and 2013/39/EC, provide the key building blocks for the further development of a regional policy for the reduction of hazardous materials. These directives introduce new substances and revised standards (on environmental quality), and put a new emphasis on monitoring. The environmental quality standards are the basis for the establishment of emission standards for individual companies by means of permits. 

The Priority Substances Directive 2008/105/EC proposes 33 priority substances (plus eight other substances from the former European daughter directives) for a European EQS (see Table 1.11). Comparing the measurement results of surface water with those of EQS determines the chemical status according to the WFD. 

The first introduction of an EU Directive into UK Health and Safety law occurred on 1 January 1993 when a Framework Directive on Health and Safety management and five daughter directives were introduced using powers contained in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (Figures 1.5 and 1.6). These directives. 

Reference has already been made to the pattern of a general ( mother ) directive followed by a number of more specific ( daughtef ) directives. This has proved a useM device and has enabled the general objectives, approach and ambit of the legislation to be set out in the mother directive, which has then been expanded on and applied to particular situations in the subsequent daughter directives. 

The daughter directives take a similar approach but contain more detailed requirements in relation to their particular subject areas of concern,...
