Creation of structural approach related to training of Environmental Inspectors in Azerbaijan

1. Creation of structural approach related to training of Environmental Inspectors in Azerbaijan • Inventory of entities (users of nature) Baku,2012

2. Module Structure • Aim of inventory conducted by enterprises (natural users) • Types of enterprises (juridical an organizational) • Information to be gathered about the enterprises • Methods of information gathering about the enterprises, advantages and disadvantages • Requirements on quality of information • Based on relevant protocol of Aarhus convention gathering the information about wastes and its transportation by the enterprises • Prevention of repeat, a lot of requirements and same contents of gathered information (the Netherland experience) Inventory of entities

3. Aim of inventory conducted by enterprises (use of nature) • The first step in planning of control activity is to inventory (identification) of the regulated community and, where possible, to establish their basic characteristics (parameters), including the availability of their ability, motivation and desire (real or ostensible) to comply with environmental standards. A detailed description of the regulated community is an essential element in preventing violations and successful struggle with them, and it provides the correct selection of tools to ensure compliance, and allows us to establish priorities for inspection and concentrate informational and enforcement activities in a particular area, thus optimizing the operation regulatory authority. Contact with users of nature during the inventory and a detailed characterization is the first step in creating an atmosphere of deterrence of potential offenders: they are notified that they are under the supervision of the supervisory bodies.

8. Requirement on quality of information 1. Operability: Only timely updated information can be valuable as a basis for the enforcement of environmental regulations;2. Completeness and accuracy, maximal opportunity amount of information about the enterprises, which can be obtained in compliance with the principle of economic feasibility;3. Comparability: in order to allow an objective comparison, presentation and storage of data must be standardized in a singleformat, for example, to identify the industries need to use a consistent nomenclature.4. Sequence: The sequence information suggests the presence of unambiguous and uniform definitions, the accuracy of the parameters describing areas of activity- sequence, and consistent data entry format and the use of agreed methods of calculations (for example, to estimate emissions); Inventory of entities

9. Requirement on quality of information 5. Transparency: to properly interpret the data, it is important to know how they were collected, how was the assessment conducted or measure the numerical values​​, etc.6. Integrity: the data must be protected from tampering by the regulated subjects, responsible for accounting and reporting, as well as changes from unauthorized by persons who have access to databases of user information.7. Privacy: terms of disclosure of information and its specific recipients must be determined by law taking into account the importance of maintaining ownership of the valuable business information. The secrecy of ongoing investigations, not fallen into the public stage, and the reputation of persons against whomnot been allegations of wrongdoing, should also be strictly protected.

10. Based on relevant protocol of Aarhus convention gathering the information about wastes and its transportation by the enterprises • enterprises and its location • type of activity • owner or executor • Polluting substances or waste • components of environment where the polluting substances are wasted • final destination of wastes, disposal or treatment Inventory of entities

11. Prevention of repeat, a lot of requirements and same contents of gathered information (the Netherland experience) • re-use of information • application of information • new information • storing of information • transmission of information • procedure of information gathering Inventory of entities

12. Prevention of repeat, a lot of requirements and same contents of gathered information (the Netherland experience) In order to avoid bringing excessive demands for information in the Netherlands, there was designed by a common set of rules to be followed by some regulatory agencies and the government under the direction of business and citizens requests for information:- Re-use of information. Public authorities should refrain from requests for information, if there is an ability to reuse existing data, which is intended for internal use by enterprises and which can be transmitted to the appropriate authorities without further treatment.- The processing of information. Public authorities should achieve to unify data formats. Discrepancies in the demands of different departments to form representations of the same data often lead to differences in interpretation and to evade compliance. Inventory of entities

13. Prevention of repeat, a lot of requirements and same contents of gathered information (the Netherland experience) - New types of information. The state authorities should handle the request on new types of information only in cases where it is impossible to receive necessary information by recycling and processing already availableof information. State authorities should refrain from changing their requirements during the reporting period and provide companies enough time to adapt to new requirements. It should be minimized the duties of companies to provide information by public authorities for admission to the use of existing databases, the information you need.- Storing of information. State authorities should establish an adequate shelf life information to reduce costs associated with storage and with the limited life of electronic media.- The transmission of information. Having the ability to transfer data through electronic channels greatly simplifies the process of sharing information and saves the time required to complete documents manually.- Procedures for the gathering of information. Government should not prescribe the forms and methods of data collection, only the required results of data collection. Inventory of entities
