The present Regulations aim at setting forth maximum emission limits and operating conditions for a series of plants for which a gas emission permit is not required, as prescribed under the Control of Atmospheric Pollution Law, 2002 (Law No. 187(Ι)/2002).

For all the above mentioned plants, maximum limits and operating conditions are specified in these Regulations in order to protect human health and the environment. Any person, who operates any of the industrial plants falling into the categories mentioned above and fails to meet the operating requirements and the gas emission limits set forth with these Regulations, shall be guilty of a criminal offense.
