Abstract

Decree-Law no. 194/2000 established the legal framework for integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC). This article focuses on the main legal act carried out within this regime, of great importance in the relationship between (administrative) environmental law and industrial licensing: the environmental permit. Some of the problems relating to this act are identified, and possible solutions are suggested: issues concerning the legal nature of the environmental permit, the authority competent to issue it, the respective procedural steps, its relationship with the EIA, its legal force, and the problem of tacit refusal. Given their impact on the environmental permit, the concept of Best Available Techniques (BAT) is also analysed, regarding its meaning and legal relevance, with a critical assessment being undertaken.
