Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and the Council on industrial emissions (the [[Industrial Emissions Directive]] or [[IED]]) is the main EU instrument regulating pollutant emissions from industrial installations.

The IED was adopted on 24 November 2010. It is based on a Commission proposal recasting seven previously existing directives (including in particular the [[IPPC Directive]] and the [[Waste Incineration Directive]]).

The IED aims to achieve a high level of protection of human health and the environment taken as a whole by reducing harmful industrial emissions across the EU, in particular through better application of Best Available Techniques (BAT). Around 50,000 installations undertaking the industrial activities listed in Annex I of the IED are required to operate in accordance with their [[Environmental Permit]] which contains conditions set in accordance with the principles and provisions of the IED<ref name="IED">[https://ec.europa.eu/environment/industry/stationary/ied/legislation.htm European Commission (2010).
