The concept of "integrated environmental protection" takes into consideration all sectors of environment impacts (air, water, waste) like a complex, instead of a separated view on each sector. The reason of this concept is that the substances and emissions outflow from one environmental sector can cause transport to another environmental sector.New attitude in integrated process represents a change which can be applied within the segment system of assessment and permitting installations to the integrated permitting. It is a new aspect with which we do not have any practical experience with and poses demands on both sides involved in this process. Integrated permit does not mean increased responsibilities, but allows operators to be actively connected to the permitting and transposing their own ideas in communication between the competent authority and operator, what the existing practice does not allow.
