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 CouncilDirectives 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
Differences
•More pollutant EPER 50 → PRTR 91•More activity (not only IPPC) EPER 56 → PRTR 65 •Stricter thresholds and 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

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

Activity SectorsPRTR 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)
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
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
New Activities
17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe
Position of new activities in Hungary
– Now we are collecting that how many facilities are with 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 Installation register (LNYR) is corrected and augmented for PRTR system
17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in South-East Europe
Implementation in Hungary
– E-PRTR government decree for implementation (amendment of regulations for 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
New software and databases
– Development of programme for E-PRTR system
– Data Collecting from National Environmental Database System (OKIR) for E-PRTR databases
– Development and enlargement of the Database System of OKIR for requirement of E-PRTR
– Report for EU, statistics– Operators report directly though the
website of national Authorities
New website
Website will be available for public
– Building of E-PRTR website– query site for Public– Direct access to data– Diagrams, trends analysis in the
future– Forum
