  7. Project Team:

  8. Project Objective: Assist the Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection in the process of implementation of the environmental legislation on IPPC, Seveso II Directive and the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)

  9. Project Purpose: Build and enhance capacity for enforcement of regulations aligned with the EU Environmental Directives, specifically for Industrial Prevention and Control (IPPC), prevention of chemical accidents and the EMAS

  10. Inception activities - 1 • Mobilization of experts (3 September 2012) • Setting up project office and recruitment of support staff • Meeting with key stake holders and review of documentation

  11. Inception activities - 2 • Setting up Project Steering Committee and first meeting • Inception meetings with LSG’s in Belgrade and Novi Sad with attendance of 24 LGS • Project Environment Analysis • Action Planning • Preparation of Tor for Non-key experts • Preparation of draft Inception Report • Based on comments a final version will be submitted for official approval

  12. Working Groups To strengthen network of stakeholders involved in IPPC/IED, Seveso and EMAS implementation it is proposed to establish: • WG1 - Procedures development • WG2 - Technical Group for IPPC/IED implementation • WG3 - Permanent IPPC/IED network • WG4 - Seveso Contact Group

  13. Update on Background • Current Government priorities full implementation of the environmental legislation • EU progress report: • Integrated approach to permitting must be institutionalized and the administrative capacity strengthened • Risk management groups administrative capacity remains to be improved • Government decision: Merge energy and environmental protection issues into Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection • Decisional levels has been changed. New systematization of sectors and departments is expected

  14. IPPC/ IED: • Current situation: 161 operators under IPPC, 96 applications submitted • Light modifications made in light of on-going project: • Training activities have been anticipated to fit better Dynamic Program and better support operators and permit writers in the initial phase of permitting; • Details on criteria and methodology adopted to implement operative activities have been set up; • Goals, composition, frequency of meetings and activities of workgroups have been set, foreseeing 2 technical groups (for procedures and technical documents) and a Permanent network for IPPC/IED, involving MERZ, Province of Vojvodina and LSGs.

  15. Accommodating for the new extended legislative framework introduced by IED and in the context of industrial policy and the need for integrated permitting taking into account other sectoral permitting and supervisory obligations, e.g. under Waste Directive, EIA etc. • Strengthening the institutional structure for integrated permitting of installations, including the enforcement regime; • Establishment of technical standards for BAT and determining ELV; • Further development of legislative changes related to monitoring compliance with permitting conditions, periodic review of permits and inspections.

  16. Seveso: • 105 notification studies (59 lower tier and 46 upper tier) have been submitted • 37 safety reports have been submitted. 3 safety reports have been evaluated. • Focus will be given to: • Absence of technical procedures – guidelines for the compiling (operator’s side) and evaluating (authority’s side) of a Safety Report. Training courses are needed to representatives of institutions and industries to compile and evaluate the Safety Reports; • Guidelines for the drawing up external emergency plans are needed to be adopted; • Inspections to the to all upper and lower tier hazardous establishments; • Information to the neighbour to the hazardous establishments people regarding the existing hazards and what to do in case of emergency; • Adoption of critical emergency protection zones. By this way all the stakeholders will know how the consequences of an accident scenario will be estimated, presented and evaluated; • Adoption of risk acceptance criteria. It should be essential if an activity is acceptable or not, in a specified place. It should be very useful for all the stakeholders. The operator will know in advance if the risk of a scheduled project is acceptable or not. The authorities will establish a Land Use Planning Policy, and they should know the accepted or not risk for any kind of proposed project or activity; • Adoption of a Land Use Planning policy regarding the major hazard establishments

  17. EMAS: • Until now no organisations in Serbia have applied for EMAS and it is unknown whether any organisation intends to do so. The Project will attempt to identify potential candidates for EMAS registration, support them to prepare for it and assist in developing the environmental verification structures. • Verification of the Environmental Statement under EMAS takes place by a third party, The verifier. Verifiers are either individuals or organisations who are accredited by Accreditation Board of Serbia (ATS).
