It will have the control and monitoring of these facilities. The decree also defines the capacity for inspection and the exercise of the power to impose penalties.

The decree will apply to all facilities where activities are carried out that may be polluting to the atmosphere and that are included in Annex IV of Law 34/2007. These facilities must be located in the territory of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands.
