  6. PEIP Regional Meeting 22nd September Objectives • To present and discuss the updated lists of priority environmental infrastructure investment projects, • To discuss opportunities and challenges related to implementing of investment projects in SEE, • To discuss the way forward for the future assistance to the countries.

  7. Conclusions from the meeting – National Level • Intergovernmental cooperation and putting environment among government priorities. • Ministries of Environment to pass results of PEIP to all relevant ministries. • To work closer with the Ministries of Finance. • To involve key relevant ministries in the process of planning. • To present projects showing the complete solution to the problem (even if divided into phases, sub-projects). • To prepare solutions of high cost-effectiveness – promotion of regional solutions.

  8. Conclusions from the meeting – Donors community and IFIs • Donors/IFIs reviewing updated lists of investment projects and giving their perspective on which of them are financially viable. • Clear picture of donors assistance activities (current discussions on projects). • Need to involve bilateral donors to the investment projects – grant leverage effect. • Without country assistance grant systems, progress is much smaller.

  9. Conclusions from the meeting – European Commission • Disseminate PEIP results to all relevant EC units. • Encourage SEE countries to keep the pipelines of environmental investment projects ready – to be used when the assistance arrives.

  10. Issues for the future • Unification of cost-estimates for investment projects, • Bankability of projects, • Future of the funding instruments, • Environmental data collection – progress achieved; small investments needed to complete monitoring systems in the region, • Better cooperation on cross-border issues linked to investment projects.
