1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that no installation falling within the scope of this Chapter operates without a permit or without being registered and that the operation of all installations within the scope of this Chapter complies with the uniform conditions for operating rules referred to in Article 70i. Member States may use any similar pre-existing procedure for the registration of installations in order to avoid creating an administrative burden.

(a) with more than 40 000 places for poultry;

(b) with more than 2 000 places for production pigs over 30 kg; or (c) with more than 750 places for sows. Member States may include requirements for certain categories of installations falling within the scope of this Chapter in the general binding rules referred to in Article 6. Member States shall specify the procedure for registration or granting a permit in respect of installations falling within the scope of this Chapter. Those procedures shall include at least the information listed in paragraph 2.

(a) the installation and its activities;

(b) the animal type;

(c) the stocking density in LSU per hectare calculated in accordance with Annex Ia, where necessary;

(e) the sources of emissions from the installation;

(f) the nature and quantities of foreseeable emissions from the installation into each medium.

4. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the operator informs the competent authority, without delay, of any planned substantial change to the installations falling within the scope of this Chapter which could have consequences for the environment. Where appropriate, the competent authority shall reconsider and update the permit or request the operator to apply for a permit or make a new registration.

5. The Commission shall assess the impacts of the implementation of the operating rules laid down in Article 70i and submit, by 11 years after the entry into force of the implementing act referred to in Article 70i(2), a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the results of that assessment.
