  2. PRTR in Serbia • First register established in 2008. • PRTR protocol ratified in 2011. • In 2011. SEPA started to report PRTR priority data flow to EEA on a voluntary basis. • National Register of Pollution Sources

  3. PRTR in Serbia In 2014. PRTR register in Serbia covers 292 facilities. Number of reports

  4. PRTR in Serbia • Capacity thresholds (Annex I) are implemented. • Thresholds for releases (Annex II) are not implemented. All amounts of released pollutants must be reported. • All data in Format for the reporting of release and transfer data (Annex III) are obligatory. • Additional data in forms: • Raw materials consumption, fuel consumption, amount of products, • Technical data about stacks, wastewater outlets, waste managements. These data are used for QA / QC and emissions modeling (AERMOD). • There is no confidentiality toward SEPA – All data must be reported. SEPA take care about confidentiality. • Data are collected once a year.

  5. Emissions to air • All category 1. facilities are at same time 1.A.1.a. category in CLRTAP and GHG inventories. • All category 1. in PRTR are LCP facilities. • All categories in PRTR are IPPC facilities. • Some other categories also can be used for GHG and CLRTAP reporting. • QA/QC of some categories in National energy balance used for GHG and CLRTAP reporting. • National State of Environment Report. • EEA State of the Environment Reporting Information System - SERIS • EEA and other environment indicators. PRTR register

  6. Emissions to water • National State of Environment Report. • EEA State of the Environment Reporting Information System - SERIS • EEA and other environment indicators. PRTR register

  7. Waste management • Waste generation • Waste landfilling • Waste reuse, recovery and recycled • Waste export • Waste import • National State of Environment Report. • EEA State of the Environment Reporting Information System - SERIS • EEA and other environment indicators. PRTR register

  8. Other activities Future activities • VOC • IED • Inspire • Waste management permits • Waste movement document Ongoing activities • ETS monitoring plans • ETS annual reporting • CLRTAP Gridded data • Serbian PRTR internet portal

  9. IT support For all these activities it is necessary to establish strong IT support • Modular IT system • GIS component • Bilingual interface.

  10. Conclusions • Existing PRTR register is high level instrument which can be used for data collection and report preparation for different international conventions and other reporting obligations. • PRTR register with minor data changes and extensions can be used for fulfill many other reporting obligations.
