Pollutant Release and Transfer Register

Member States are obliged to make returns to the European Commission covering releases of key substances listed in the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) from installations described in Annex 1 of the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive.

Permitted installations are required to complete a Pollution Inventory form annually:
