Current situation with environmental
directives implementation (4) Directive on EIA: draft law “On environmental impact assessment”
– registered in the parliament, but not adopted
Directive on wild birds: draft laws “On changes to some legal
acts of Ukraine” (on biodiversity protection, and fauna protection) –
adopted by the parliaments as the basis
Directive on pollutants from large combustion plants: just
secondary legislation (on the form of permits for emissions)
Directive on sulphur: on July 10, 2014 the Technical regulation
on requirements to motor petroleum, diesel, marine and boiler fuel
came into force. But the first deadline December 31, 2014 (for
environmental class Euro 3).
Main challenges No political will
Law drafting doesn’t mean real implementation
Partial implementation of directives is not effective and
sometimes impossible
No coordination between relevant state bodies
No clear understanding of the directives’ requirements
Lack of transparency in the implementation process
Lack of comprehensive vision and planning of reforms
New perspectives
Possible positive impact of the EU-Ukraine Association
Agreement implementation – implementation plans for
each directive are under development
Window of opportunities after the new government
appointment and new parliament starting work
Creation of the Multilateral Working Group on Reforms
Thanks
for your attention!
