Some Eastern Europe common characteristicsSome Eastern Europe common characteristics

� Before the fall of Berlin Wall (9/11/1989), Soviet Union economy:

� Low tariffs (means high consumption, 800l/inh/d in Bucharest, 1000l/inh/d in Tbilisi);

� Low maintenance (means high leakages); � Low tariff + high leakages (means additional investments in

capacity);� Regulation: cost plus fee system (no favourable for

investments financed on tariffs)= investments with subsidies;� No care of environment (means no efficient WWTP).� Conclusion: no capacity problem (over investments financed

by the states) BUT urgent need of investments on quality, on systems upgrading and in WWTP.

14

Basic elements favourable to PPPBasic elements favourable to PPP

� After the fall of Berlin wall:� Political will and objectives favourable to the general

scheme of Public Private Partnership (PPP), depending of local context, on national laws and on EU Directives,

� The form of the PPP depends on each case (genuine case). Stakeholders interests must be taken into account (municipality, customers, employees, private partners, NGOs),

� In any case regulation has to be clear and predictable.

PPP and European subsidies Complementarities (1)PPP and European subsidies Complementarities (1)

� EU Funds: ISPA or IPA (Instrument for Pré Adhesion), Cohesion Funds (for EU

member countries), etc

� Funds = donations which partially finance the projects,

� Loans are necessary to complete the financing

� Municipalities often request EBRD and /or EIB

� Calculation of % of Funds is done taking into account capacity of the

population to pay (affordability)

� Public financing and private financing must be clearly separated, and properly

allocated

� How does it work within a PPP ?

does not appear in Apanova balance sheet

Conclusion for PPP’s in East EuropeConclusion for PPP’s in East Europe

� All Public Private Partnerships are Taylor made to fit to the expectations, to the

priorities, to the history and to the physical situation of each municipality. The

PPP system is not rigid: it has always adapted to new expectations on the part

of elected officials and public authorities;

� Forcing a healthy clarification of the roles, a precise definition of the expected

results, and focusing on service performance are the main advantages of these

partnerships;

� Through PPP, cities access to advanced expertise and to the international

research network of Veolia Water to improve the efficiency and quality of their

water services;

� PPP and European funds are complementary and they can coexist on the same

project.

PPP is a tool to help public authorities to implement their water and wastewater policy
