IPPC Directive Progress Monitoring Report, Year 10 – 2007, Montenegro, July 2007: “Transposition of the IPPC directive is very advanced (85 %). The main transposing instrument is the Law on IPPC no. 80/05, which was adopted and entered into force in 2005, however it will only be applied as per 1st of January 2008. All definitions are considered to be correctly transposed.

The operator of existing installations shall obtain the permit for the existing installations and activities until January 2015 the latest, in accordance with the Program. The period for submission of application is 12 months before the date posted in the Program for each existing installations.
IPPC Directive • Best Available Techniques No translations:(Translations available? Experts participation in drafting?) Familiarity of Operators
IPPC Directive • Competencies and skills for issuing integrated permits “The environmental administration is too understaffed to cope with all the tasks caused by the new legislation and strategic framework, let alone undertake complex reforms…. Capacity and competences are also lacking at local level…. Municipalities will also have to develop services to deal with the installations for waste and wastewater management set out in the master plans, tasks they are unable to execute at the moment” (ECE-Review). As a consequence, the environmental administration has to be strengthened along the lines described in the Integration Programme, both in terms of employment and training as well as financial requirements.
