Project Title |
Support in the Implementation of the Waste Management Legislation and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Scheme |
Main Objectives of the Project |
The overall objective of this operation is to enable the efficient and effective operation of a modern, accountable recycling and recovery industry in the country, following the principles of the circular economy.
The specific objective is to develop a professional, deliverable, accountable and efficient Extended Producer Responsibility Schemes (EPR system), thus strengthening the capacity of the competent national authorities for waste management and stakeholders for modern waste management and on-line recording and reporting system. |
Project Components/Results |
-Component I: Legal Framework
Result 1.1 Concept notes, options analyses and draft impact assessment papers to facilitate the process for including the stakeholders in the process for developing the legislation, prepared.
Result 1.2 Analytical prerequisites for legislative drafting for establishment of a Producer Balancing Body (PBB) with associated secondary legislation and documents including introduction of international examples and detailed explanation of proposed documents, prepared.
Result 1.3 Mechanisms for central coordination of activities of producers, collective handlers and economic operators identified.
-Component II: Operational and Administrative Capacity
Result 2.1: Operational and administrative capacity on the PBB within the EPR for developing a mechanism for fulfilling its obligation under the EPR schemes, which arise from the new legislation in this area, and which introduce many administrative requirements for the ministry, manufacturers, collective operators, and recyclers, enhanced.
Result 2.2: Procedures for accurate control of quantities of products and packaging placed on the market of North Macedonia, developed. These procedures should include control of collected waste materials, recovered, and recycled, to provide a way to calculate market share and monitor producers, as well as a way of reporting and auditing the above.
-Component III: Information Technology
Result 3.1: Electronic data collection and reporting system for EPR system, developed. |

The Twinning Programme
Twinning is a European Union instrument for institutional cooperation between Public Administrations of EU Member States (MS) and of beneficiary countries (BC). It was originally designed in 1998 to help candidate countries of the time to acquire the necessary skills and experience to adopt, implement and enforce EU legislation.
More specifically, in the IPA region, Twinning aims to provide support for the transposition, implementation and enforcement of the EU legislation (the Union acquis). It builds up capacities of beneficiary countries’ public administrations throughout the accession process, resulting in progressive, positive developments in the region.
Project Background:
The largest industrial installations account for a considerable share of total emissions of key atmospheric pollutants, and have other important impacts, including emissions into water and soil, generation of waste and the use of energy. The Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU (IED) sets the main principles for permitting and control of installations based on an integrated approach and on best available techniques (BAT). The Directive replaces seven existing Directives relating to industrial installations and stipulates binding requirements for the operation of industrial installations which are stricter than previously applicable under EU legislation.
With the new project, Macedonia clearly demonstrates its willingness to legally implement the European environmental standards for industrial installations.
The Objective of the project
The overall objective is to increase the effectiveness of the country’s preparation for EU accession and to ensure efficiency of EU programmes in the country.
The project aims at strengthening the administrative capacity on national level and local level for transposition and implementation of the IED in Macedonia. The project foresees the preparation for development of primary and secondary legislation in accordance with IED, assessment of the economic impact, capacity building on central and on local level and assessment of the equipment necessary for in the implementation of the IED. The project will be implemented during the years 2015 – 2016.
Project Components
The project has four components:
Component 1: Assessment of the economic impact of the implementation of the industrial emissions directive 2010/75/EU to the industrial sector
- Regulatory impact analysis of the implementation of IED to the relevant industrial sector as well as for the relevant administration will be performed
- Assessment of the report on the economic impact of the implementation of IED to the relevant industrial sectors as well as for the relevant administration with recommendations will be prepared and the next steps with the Ministry discussed and agreed
Component 2: Development of primary and secondary environment legislation in accordance with new industrial emissions directive 2010/75/EU
- Gap assessment and analysis of compliance of existing legislation with IED
- A new Law on Control on Emissions from Industry transposing Industrial Emission Directive will be prepared
- Secondary legislation in accordance with Industrial Emission Directive will be prepared
Component 3: Strengthening of central and local administrative capacity for implementation of the new Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU
- The central and local administrative capacity for transposition and practical implementation of the new IED 2010/75/EU will be analysed and plans/recommendations for its strengthening proposed
- Implementation of the Industrial Emission Directive will be supported through several types of training, workshops and seminars
- Selected permits (A and B) will be analysed and assessed and pilot permits in accordance with IED (BAT) in selected sectors will be drafted
- Manuals and guidelines for practical implementation of IED will be developed
- Study Tours to will be organised in order to exchange the experiences, visit installations in the Member State Countries and discuss the implementation of the IED
Component 4: Preparing priority list of equipment necessary for implementation of new Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU
- The existing equipment will be analysed in detail
- A list of additional equipment required for IED implementation will be prepared and its delivery discussed
