  3. Composition of the Italian partnership: Presidency of the Council of Ministers - Department of Community Policies: coordinating organisation Agency for Co-operation of Local Authorities : contracting organisation National Health Institute ISS: setting EQS, risk assessment Monitoring and reporting - Setting EQS APAT : Italian National Agency for Protection of Environment ARPA Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Veneto: regional agencies for EP Authorisations and controls: Provinces of Turin, Piacenza, Cremona, Mantua, Modena - Po Valley co-ordination Databases and networking: CSI Piemonte: Agency for Information Technology of Piedmont PAs Additional support for: WBMP and WPP: Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto Regional Administrations Water Resources Management: SMAT: Metro Water Agency of Turin District

Regional Adminstrations Regional Environmental Protection Agency (A.R.P.A.) Provinces Provincial Depts. of A.R.P.A. Municipalities River Basin Authority Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Enterprises

  5. Some sector specific details: • EQS and the assessment of Water Body at risk of attainment Environment Objectives • Water Chemical Quality : priority pollutants , EQS and emission limits • RBMP : Water Protection Plan, Environment Objectives, Monitoring & Controls • Central and District Organisation: permits, controls, reference labs, information obligation and reporting

  6. Major Challenges to meet EU environmental acquis • Overlapping responsibilities among different authorities • Capacity Building • Cost Benefit of Monitoring&Controls networks and procedures • Information System and Public Awareness

  7. Objectives • General • Enforce the Monitoring and Control as a Tool supporting water protection measures in the RBMP • Strengthen the institutional capacity by integrating competences and functions • Specific • Ensure guidance and counselling in the process of reorganisation : • the implementation of monitoring, prevention and control activities for priority pollutants • supporting the Slovak Ministry of the Environment in reorganisation at central and district level • optimise cost benefits information and data acquisition, management and reporting

  8. Proposed strategy Water Quality Objectives: Integration in RBMP through Water Quality Protection Plan Implementation of Support Activities related to priority pollutants Strengthening of Monitoring, Prevention and Control Activities

  9. Proposed strategy PROGRMMES INTEGRATION Permits Inspections Controls Monitoring : Water Quality Combined Approach Water Body + Discharge Limits COMMPS IPPC, EPER Priority Pollutants EQS definition Chem. Status Discharge Limits: focus on risk

  10. Proposed strategy Sharing knowledge Common vision Reduction of costs INTEGRATION COMPETENT BODIES Coherent programmes TERRITORIAL LEVEL Central Regional Local

  11. Monitoring, Prevention and Control Strengthening ORGANISATION TOOLS TARGET Priority Pollutants EQS RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLAN Authorisation&Permit territorial organisation Central Districts and Regional Official Emission and Discharge Limits Monitoring&Control networks and procedures in River Basin Districts

  12. 1 Support activities • Overview of existing procedures and preparation of new ones for the permitting-compliance-enforcement system to complete the transposition and implementation of the acquis • Development of an integrated system of permitting/compliance and enforcement for the prevention and control of the environment • Harmonisation of the planning and management of operational permits. • Integration of Monitoring&Control activitities, Water Restoration and Protection mesures in the RBMP Implementation of the RBMP Operational Permits Planning and Management Integrated System of Permitting/Compliance Revision of procedures/ preparation of new ones Overview of procedures

  13. 2 Support activitiesIntegration and Management of Information/Data • Integration and management of environmental information and data available in different areas • Development of an information database system, suitable to local needs and compatible with EU reporting requirements • Establishment of functional linkages between the information system and the communication strategy • Management of the feedback towards the monitoring and control system Planning and decisionmaking Monitoring and Control Commun- ication strategy Integration and management of environmental information Development of database system

  14. Training Approach • Full involvement of Slovak partners and stakeholders from the very beginning • Training of Slovak trainersto boost local abilities and enhance the dissemination process • Flexibility and possibility to modify the implementation process to take into account the institutional evolution

  15. Management principles/benchmarks: • 3 months to finalise the twinning contract • Streamlined administrative procedures through ACLA • Effective partnership by means of bilateral team work • RTA able to mobilise project resources - timeliness • Direct communication in English • Delivery of concrete outputs • Flexibility to accommodate partner’s needs • Commitment to results
