# Commission Decision of 18 August 2011 on amending Decision 2007/589/EC as regards the inclusion of monitoring and reporting guidelines for greenhouse gas emissions from new activities and gases (notified under document C(2011) 5861) (Text with EEA relevance) (2011/540/EU), Annex VI

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Annex VI is amended as follows:
(1) the title of Annex VI is replaced by the following:
‘ Activity-specific guidelines for the production of pig iron and steel including continuous casting as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC;’
(2) Section 1 is modified as follows:
(a) the first paragraph is replaced by the following wording: ‘The guidelines in this Annex can be applied for emissions from production of pig iron and steel activities, including continuous casting activities. They refer in particular to primary (blast furnace (BF) and basic oxygen furnace (BOF)) and secondary (electric arc furnace (EAF)) steel production.’;
(b) the second paragraph is replaced by the following wording: ‘Activities for the production of pig iron and steel including continuous casting are generally integral parts of steel works with a technical connection to coke oven and sinter activities. Thus an intensive energy and material exchange (e.g. blast furnace gas, coke oven gas, coke or limestone) takes place in regular operation. If an installation’s permit according to Articles 4, 5 and 6 of Directive 2003/87/EC encompasses the entire steel works and not solely the blast furnace, the CO2-emissions may also be monitored for the integrated steel works as a whole. In such cases the mass balance approach as presented in Section 2.1.1 of this Annex may be used.’;
(3) in Section 2.1.1(b) Carbon Content, Tier 1, the introductory phrase is replaced by the following:
‘The carbon content of input or output streams is derived from reference emission factors for fuels or materials named in Section 11 of Annex I or the Annexes IV-X. The carbon content is derived as follows:’.
