The BAT Reports are divided in 6 chapters: chapter1 introduces the BAT concept; chapter 2 explains the socio-economic and environmental-legislative framework of the sector; chapter 3 is a process description; chapter 4 gathers available environmentally friendly techniques; chapter 5 is a selection of the Best Available Techniques; and, finally, chapter 6 lists recommendations from experts.
The aims of these meetings were mainly focused on the discussion of the content of Chapter 4 (description of environmentally friendly techniques) and 5 (selection of BAT) of the BAT sector reports.
