Welcome to the BEST application, an innovative tool developed by the European Commission to facilitate and streamline the data and information exchange for BREF-making. BEST stands for Best Available Techniques Reference Documents (BREF) Survey Tool.
The Sevilla Process is central to the development of the new environmental norms for the activities within the scope of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). It involves a collaborative effort to identify the Best Available Techniques (BAT) for reducing the environmental impacts of agro-industrial activities. The BEST application plays a crucial role in this process by facilitating the design, review and testing of questionnaires which are vital for the Sevilla Process. These questionnaires are meticulously crafted to ensure the accurate and comprehensive collection of real-plant data and information with the active participation of various stakeholders, including Member States, industry representatives and environmental non-governmental organisations.
One of the key functionalities of the BEST application is its ability to streamline data collection. By providing a user-friendly platform, BEST enables participants to efficiently submit and manage their data, ensuring that all relevant information is captured and organised systematically.
Moreover, the BEST application is equipped with robust data export features, allowing users to transfer information collected for further analysis and processing.
In addition to its technical capabilities, BEST aims to speed up the data collection process and will contribute to the minimisation of reporting errors and the overall efficiency of the data and information collection.
