Interim Report, No 3, 19 September 2011 – 18 March 2012
• Drafting of Annual Emission Report (AER) and Verification of Emission Data by
Independent Verifier against approved MP.
In line with the EU ETS Directive, the Commission has adopted guidelines for the monitoring and
reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, known as "MRG". The original guidelines were adopted in
2004 for the first trading period (2005-2007) and revised in 2007 for the second trading period
(2008-2012). For the third trading period (2013-2020), the Commission is currently preparing two
regulations replacing the MRG in the future: one on monitoring and reporting and one on
accreditation and verification.
The training topics are based on specific tasks of inspectors within this framework and specifically
refer to the process of monitoring, reporting, and verification. These topics are to be further
elaborated in Task 2 and 3.
Elaboration of training materials and subjects
The following subjects will be covered in the training and presentation materials:
• Introduction on ETS and ETS post 2012;
• Monitoring , Reporting, Verification and Accreditation;
• Monitoring Plans;
• Formats of emission reports;
• Experience in Germany and Croatia;
• Accreditation of Verifiers;
• Free industry allocation post 2012;
• Inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS.
Activity 4.4 Transfrontier Shipment of Waste (TFS)
Delivery of the regional workshop on TFS, Istanbul, Turkey (18 – 19 April 2012)
Delivery of the regional workshop on TFS, Skopje, fYR of Macedonia (13 – 14 June 2012)
The following preparatory activities for delivery of the above workshop will be implemented in the
period February – April 2012:
Finalisation of training topics (TFS with special reference to compliance and enforcement systems):
In 1994 the Council Regulation 259/93 on the supervision and control of shipments of waste
within, into and out of the European Community, came into force. One of the main purposes of
the European waste regulation is to prevent the shipment of environmentally harmful waste to
countries that do not have the provisions to cope with these wastes. Another purpose is to take
care of the environmentally sound processing of the waste. The regulation has been replaced by the
Waste Shipment Regulation 1013/2006 in 2007. The enforcement of this Waste Shipment
Regulation WSR (further referred to as WSR) is a competence of individual Member States. For an
effective and efficient enforcement, organizations have to cooperate over their national borders as
transboundary movements of wastes exceed these borders.
Since RENA countries in the area of TFS are collaborating with IMPEL, the training topics have
been selected in cooperation with IMPEL experts and with feedback from the WG 4 coordinators
