It reviews policies and identify gaps between EU and existing and future legislation for industrial pollution control and enforcement mechanisms at the country level for 11 of the 13 countries of the Danube River Basin (DRB). The remaining two, Austria and Germany, were already EU Member States at the time the project was initiated. Taking into account the expected revitalization of industries in the Danube River Basin countries, the Project in Phase 1 focused on industrial policies and on a review of legislation in order to ensure that environmental considerations are adequately taken into account and that mechanisms for compliance are put in place. While Phase 1 of the Project also focused on the identification of gaps and opportunities for reforms and measures, Phase 2 was been oriented towards the development and implementation of targeted assistance programme to non-accession Danube countries on industrial pollution reduction policy and regulatory frameworks including necessary capacity building activities. Phase 2 also included analytical components to assess the impact of ICPDR BAT Recommendations and to estimate the potential impact of the EU Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive on the Danube River Basin. The Terms of Reference (ToR) included following tasks: Analysis of Policy, Legislation and Enforcement - the objective of this activity is to obtain information from the Contracting Parties of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) concerning new developments and progress achieved in the field of EU legislation transposition, policy, implementation and enforcement using the Phase 1 results. These are important tools for the reduction of industrial pollution in the Danube River Basin. Impact of the (ICPDR) BAT Recommendation - the ICPDR Recommendations were developed for four industries; the chemical industry, the chemical pulping industry, the food industry, the paper making industry and the Recommendation on best available techniques (BAT) at Agricultural Point Sources. A desk top assessment of the use of national and local authorities and other beneficiaries of the recommendations was undertaken. Developing 'Road Map' for BAT Implementation - This task involved assistance to the four non-accession countries with developing policies and procedures consistent with the requirements of the IPPC Directive for industrial pollution control and the development of a country specific 'road map' for each of the 4 countries to implementing BAT. Impact of the Integrated Prevention and Control Directive (IPPC) in the Danube River Basin – This task focused on preparation a short discussion paper reviewing the likely pollution reduction (nutrients and dangerous substances) that would result with the implementation of the IPPC Directive. This pragmatic assessment carried out based on existing data from the ICPDR's inventories and other available data sources and identified emission reduction potentials within key industrial sectors in the DRB. Workshops and Dissemination – Workshops oriented to BAT implementation in non-accession countries in the region were conducted during which the dissemination of examples of good practice of industrial pollution control throughout the DRB was provided. Particular attention was paid to the transfer of concepts on nutrient and hazardous substance reduction from industrial complexes to the four non-accession countries. UNDP/GEF DANUBE REGIONAL PROJECT page 6 There are two project component reports which are appended to this final report; a Report on Review of Policy, Legislation and Enforcement and the Road Map Report for the Implementation of Best Available Techniques in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine which provides individual road maps for implementation of BAT in those DRB states which are not EU members. The Policy and Institutional Analysis Report was completed in February 2006 and reflects the situation in each of the countries as of that date. The Road Map Report was completed in August 2006. In addition more detail with respect to the BAT workshops is also contained in an appendix. FINDINGS The Analysis of Policy, Legislation and Enforcement was carried out using the Phase 1 results as a starting point and new information gained from the particular countries based on updated matrices. The structure of the matrices was developed on the basis of EU legislative requirements and implementation
