  1. Project for support of the participation of West Balkan countries in the work of the EEA Wim Mol European Topic Centre on Air pollution and Climate change Mitigation (ETC/ACM)

  2. Contents • ETC/ACM • Support on Air Quality • Focus on Exchange of Information Decision under the Air Quality Directive 2008/50/EC • Support on Air Emissions • Focus on reporting of air pollutants under the National Emission Ceiling Directive 2001/81/EC; and greenhouse gases under the EU Monitoring Mechanism 280/2004/EC WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  3. ETC/ACM • European Topic Centre on Air pollution and Climate change Mitigation • Consortium of 10 Institutes under contract of EEA • Framework Partnership Agreement 1 Jan. 2011 – 31 Dec. 2013 (maybe extension to 2014) • Subjects: • Air Quality • Emissions air and climate • Energy (durable/renewable) • Transport (emissions, concentrations/impacts) • Coherence air & climate WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  4. ETC/ACM RIVM NL Leading institute Partners: UBA-Vienna AT AEA-Technology UK Oeko-Institut GE NILU NO Emisia (Uni Thessaloniki) GR INERIS FR PBL NL CHMI CZ CSIC/IDAEA ES WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  5. ETC/ACM • Specific project for the participation of West Balkan Countries in the work of the European Environment Agency 2009-2011 (second IPA Program). • March – November 2011 • Aim: strengthen current cooperation in the field of air emissions and air quality WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  6. Support on Air Quality • Two workshops, both in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Training provided by RIVM and CHMI • Participating WB countries: • Albania • Bosnia and Herzegovina • Croatia • Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia • Kosovo under UNSCR1244/99 • Montenegro • Serbia WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  7. Support on Air Quality Aim first (kick-off) workshop (June 2011): To obtain a comprehensive overview of the state of play and the developments of AQ in the near future and to identify problems and issues for further support Issues discussed: • national monitoring and AQ reporting systems • regular AQ data exchange WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  8. Support on Air Quality • Presentations WB countries on: • Current status AQ monitoring and reporting • Institutional arrangements • Quality aspects AQ data monitoring • Dataflows and reporting • Options for improvement • How can EEA & ETC/ACM help? WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  9. Support on Air Quality General findings: • Institutional issues: • Responsibilities at different ministeries/ organisations; • AQ networks: strengthen organisation; • budget for maintenance and/or extension AQ networks; • Invest in sufficient trained staff for full cycle (from monitoring to AQ assessment); • Content issues: • Strenghthen QA/QC (validation) on AQ stations WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  10. Support on Air Quality General findings (ctd): • Participation in AQUILA (scientific network AQ measurements) and FAIRMODE (modeling network) would help build up capacities; • Work on a central database for AQ data; • Work towards automatic data transfer from AQ stations. WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  11. Support on Air Quality • Most of the (institutional) issues to be dealt with on national and EU level (e.g. twinning projects); • ETC/ACM support under this IPA project: • Improve/extend AQ reporting (EoI, Questionnaire, NRT and SOR); • Principles on data quality procedures. WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  12. Support on Air Quality Second workshop (October 2011): • Same participants; • Main issues: • AQ Data quality (data quality objectives, legislation, QA/QC procedures of AQ monitoring data); • Hands-on training DEM (Data Exchange Module for the EoI) WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  13. Support on Air Quality Potential issues for support next year(s): • Further build up capacities, e.g. by strengthening participation in AQUILA and FAIRMODE; • Provide support on filling in AQ Questionnaire; • Strengthen participation in NRT (Near Real Time porting) and improvement Summer Ozone Reporting; • Extra DEM training and support QA/QC procedures for some countries just starting AQ reporting WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  14. Support on Air Emissions • RENA workshop 16-17 Nov. in Tirana: • training on Greenhouse gases, use of CRF Reporter. • Workshop for all WB countries, 24-25 Nov. in Bar: • training on compilation, reporting of AE inventories, transparency and documentation; • EMEP/EEA review process of AE inventories; • estimation and reporting of emissions from agriculture sector • 2 Experts (Serbia and Montenegro) participated in Stage 3 (in depth) review of Emission Inventory Reports, June, Copenhagen WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  15. Support on Air Emissions General findings: • Institutional issues: • strengthen organisation: most participants little experienced in emission inventory work • Content issues • Experiences and plans on aspects of emission inventories and reporting were discussed. Some countries use CollectER; others consider start using CollectER; WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  16. Support on Air Emissions General findings, ctd: • Usefull exchange of experiences, welcomed by all participants. • Recommendation to participants: check and use available literature (IPCC guidelines, EMEP/EEA guidebook); WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro

  17. Support on Air Emissions Potential issues for support next year(s): • Organize regional workshops more frequently (former workshop was in 2008); • Consider hands on training on CollectER for the WB countries • Participation in review activities helps building up experiences WB workshop 28-29 Nov. 2011 Bar Montenegro
