WG2 - Technical Group for IPPC/IED
implementation
WG3 - Permanent IPPC/IED network
WG4 - Seveso Contact Group
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human

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

Project implemented by Human
Dynamics Consortium
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.
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human
Dynamics Consortium
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.
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human
Dynamics Consortium
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
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human
Dynamics Consortium
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).

Change of government
following the 2012
general elections
Medium risk
Medium impact
Assumptions and Risks
The elections held in May 2012 have led to
the changes in the administrative structures.
Main project beneficiary MEMSP has been
replaced with the merged Ministry of Energy,
Development and Environmental Protection.
In addition, upon the elections, Serbian
Chemicals Agency and Environmental
Protection Fund has been closed. This has
caused changes in the administrative
structures and systematisation within the
MERZ and other stakeholders that at the
time of drafting of this report has not been
completed; hence the affect of these changes
on the project activities has not been fully
assessed. However, since the project has just
started, the project team will invest efforts to
adjust implementation modalities to the
changed project environment.
Serbian
government
Although there is always room for increase of
human or material resources, the experience
of the project team gained during the
inception phase shows that beneficiary staff
is fully available and committed to
cooperation with the project team and that
this will not pose the risk for achievement of
results. To achieve the best possible results
the Consultant will maintain close interaction
with beneficiary staff.
Changes in the staffing in the Beneficiary
institutions have been initiated after the
elections held in May 2012 and this process
has not been finalised yet, pending the
finalisation of new systematisation. Since this
is happening at the beginning of the project,
the impact is reduced, however if this
continues to be the risk during
implementation, the project team will
provide for transparent and well documented
project activities, in line with visibility
guidelines, which will enable the hands on
information on the project.
The relevant institutions have been visited
during the Inception Phase, and are included
in the list of PSC members. The general
impression is that there is sufficient
commitment to participation in the project
activities.
MERZ,
MAFWM, MoI
The political and administrative changes led
to the inadequate commitment of the top
level management of MERZ during the
Inception phase. Project team invested
necessary efforts to inform and involve
management in the project activities,
however without achieving desired results.
