Article 70b — Aggregation rule

1. Member States shall adopt measures to ensure that if two or more installations engaged in livestock rearing activities are located close to each other and if their operator is the same or if the installations are under the control of operators who are engaged in an economic or legal relationship, the competent authority may consider those installations to be a single unit for the purpose of calculating the capacity threshold referred to in Article 70a. Member States shall ensure that the rule referred to in the first subparagraph is not used to circumvent the obligations set out in this Directive. 2. By 5 August 2028, the Commission shall publish guidelines, after consulting the Member States, on the criteria for considering different installations to be a single unit under paragraph 1.
