  1. Present situation of Pollutant Release and Transfer Register PRTRin Hungary Gyöngyi Bejenaru-Sramkó counsellor Ministry of Environmental and Water Department of Environmental Conservation sramko@mail.kvvm.hu 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  2. EPER-E-PRTR Legal situation • Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the establishment of a European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and amending Council Directives 91/689/EEC and 96/61/EC” (the ‘E-PRTR Regulation’) was adopted on 18th January 2006 • EPER (2000/479/EC EPER decision) was removed from the active acquis 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  3. Differences • More pollutant EPER 50 → PRTR 91 • More activity (not only IPPC) EPER 56 → PRTR 65 • Stricter thresholdsand emission level values • More releases • Releases to air, water and soil • Off-site transfers of hazardous waste > 2 t/year • Off-site transfers of non hazardous waste > 2000 t/year • Off-site transfers of certain number of pollutants in waste water destined for waste-water treatment • From diffuse sources and from accidents, too • Annual report 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  4. Identification of the facility Non-hazardous waste (within the country or transboundary) air Hazardouswaste (within the country) Quantity of pollutants water Off-site transfers Quantity of waste Releases Facility Hazardous waste (transboundary) soil 1) Off-site Waste-Water Treatment Plant What to report Diffuse sources, Accidents

  5. Supply of data of releases • Measurement „M only withinternational standard (Appendix 3 in Guidance Document for PRTR List of internationally approved measuring methods for air and water pollutants) • Calculation „C” methods in Guidance Document • Estimation „E” with technical calculation description 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  6. E-PRTR Regulation aims • The E-PRTR Regulation aims to enhance public access to environmental information through the establishment of a coherent and integrated E-PRTR • contributing to the prevention and abatement of pollution • data for policy makers and facilitating • Public access→public participation in environmental decision making→Aarhus Convention 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  7. Activity Sectors PRTR 65 activities 9 activity sectors • energy;(2 coal fired power plants,10 natural gas power plants ) • production and processing of metals;pig iron and steel • mineral industry;(opencast-mining for the production of cement) • chemical industry;(considerable sector) • waste and waste water management;(regional landfills, waste water treatment plants) • paper and wood production and processing; (6 pulp and paper mills) • intensive livestock production and aquaculture (intensive aquaculture is not in Hungary, but the livestock production is very intensive: more than 50 % of IPPC facilities) • animal and vegetable products from the food and beverage sector (while Hungary is agricultural country, processing of animal and vegetable products are important) • other activities(it is not any plants for tanning of hides and skin, plants for the pre-treatment of textile)

  8. New Activities Which are not IPPC activities • Coal rolling mills • Installations for the manufacture of coal products and solid smokeless fuel; • Underground mining and related operations; • Opencast mining and quarrying; • Urban waste-water treatment plants • Independently operated industrial waste-water treatment plants 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  9. New Activities Which are not IPPC activities • Industrial plants for the production paper and board and other primary wood products • Industrial plants for the preservation of wood and wood products with chemicals • Intensive aquaculture • Installations for the building of, and painting or removal of paint from ships 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  10. Position of new activities in Hungary • Now we are collecting that how many facilities arewith new activities • On the bases of Regulation facilities have to register to System of Database • Regional Authorities of Environment, Nature and Water register and control the Facilities • IPPC Installationregister (LNYR) is corrected and augmented for PRTR system 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  11. Implementation in Hungary • E-PRTR government decree for implementation (amendment of regulationsfor surface water, groundwater, air, waste and waste water) • Conception development • Operators and Public Participation in decision making • Produce of expert-group 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe

  12. New software and databases • Development of programme for E-PRTR system • Data Collecting from National Environmental DatabaseSystem (OKIR) for E-PRTR databases • Development and enlargementofthe Database System of OKIR for requirement of E-PRTR • Report for EU, statistics • Operators report directly though the website of national Authorities

  13. New website Website will be available for public • Building of E-PRTR website • query sitefor Public • Direct access to data • Diagrams, trends analysisin the future • Forum 17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe
