evaluate your BAT policy, your country could:
- Conduct a semi-quantitative evaluation based on easily available data from PRTRs and other national data sources, such as sectoral emissions of key indicator pollutants, number of pollution incidents in a sector, percentage uptake of BAT by installations, etc.
- Conduct a qualitative evaluation by gathering data on different stakeholders’ views on the environmental, economic and human health impacts of the policy, e.g. through a survey.
