> Legal framework (I)
> Domestic:
• Law on Environmental Protection (1994)• Law on Air Protection (1995)• Rule Book on Environmental Emission Register
(1996)
> International:
• Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (1992, sc)
• United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1996, Annex I)
> Legal framework (II)
> Rule Book on Environmental Emissions Register (1996)
• mandatory system of reporting
• scope of reporting (air, waste, wastewater)
• “bottom - up” approach
• annual reporting cycle
• methodology (source classification criteria, list of pollutants, emission estimation, reporting forms, ...)
> Institutional framework
• Ministry for Environmental Protection and Physical Planning (NFP)
• Environmental Protection Agency (to be established)
• 21 County offices for environmental protection (local level)
• National Reference Center on Air Emissions (EKONERG)
• Central Bureau of Statistics, National Energy Institute

> Project objectives
Establishment of new National Emission Inventory System that will facilitate/enhance:
• planning, implementation and evaluation of environmental policy and programmes on national, local and sector level,
• national efforts to fulfil international commitments, i.e. CLRTAP and UNFCCC,
• stakeholders capabilities of creating environmental policy by disseminating knowledge and information on environmental pressures
> Project targets (I)
• to build integrated emission inventory system that is operable and sustainable under national circumstances
• to use already established frame for data collection and carefully analyse cost-effectiveness of new solutions
• to take into consideration needs from “both sides”
• to provide new legislative framework, supporting documents and tools for the implementation of NEIS
> Project targets (II)
• to collect and apply knowledge and experience on “good practice” from countries having already established emission inventory system
• to use standardised methodology (EMEP/CORINAIR) and software tools (AE-DEM) developed by ETC-ACC as a “main frame” for NEIS,
• to transfer knowledge and support NEIS users
• to make data available to the public
