the Republic of Latvia and the Government of the Republic of Estonia on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context, signed in March 14, 1997. Law “On Environmental impact assessment” and related Cabinet of Ministers regulations are available in Latvian. We apologize for inconvenience! Latvian IPPC System Latvia is currently preparing legislation covering IPPC installations among others. In the Environmental sector the legal strategy is to have in place the following legislation: Law on pollution will include a part on IPPC permitting. There will also be an IPPC Cabinet of Ministers regulation under the Law on pollution, which will include the details of the permitting of the IPPC permitting procedure etc. and (in annex) the IPPC application and IPPC permit form. The law on pollution and IPPC regulation will expectedly be adopted by Parliament and Cabinet of Ministers in 2000 and come into force from 1 January 2001. This has the following consequences: • All new Latvian IPPC installations must apply for an IPPC permit from 2001 • In the case of significant changes or extensions, existing IPPC companies need to reapply for an IPPC permit from 2001. • All IPPC installations (new and existing) will have IPPC permits by 31 October 2007 according to a transition scheme, which will be in annex to the IPPC regulation. The UK standard BS 8555:2003 implementation in Latvia 112
Upcoming Latvia’s integration to EU will require a lot of changes of the current practices and regulations in different sectors of economy, including industries. Specifically in the protection of the environment the emphasis will be made on strengthening preventive approach and precautionary principle. Environmental management systems (EMS) provide enterprises with a systematic approach to solution of their environmental problems and implementation principles of sustainable development. In Latvia most of the companies, which have already implemented EMS, are large. In the same time, the majority of Latvian industries are represented by small and medium size companies (SMEs) that generate a lot of pollution. Many SMEs want to improve their environmental performance, but don't know where to start or where to obtain reliable and good quality advice. SMEs also face certain difficulties while implementing a formal environmental management system, such as: limited human and financial resources, difficulty in effectively implementing the requirements of ISO 14001 or EMAS. The British standard BS 8555 provides guidance to all organizations seeking to implement a formal environmental management system (EMS). In doing so, the standard makes particular reference to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). It helps in reducing bureaucracy and excessive documentation. BS 8555 breaks ISO 14001 implementation down into five individual phases, each of which can be separately achieved and externally recognised as such. A sixth phase allows companies to seek certification to the ISO 14001 standard. The project includes the following components: translation BS 8555 into Latvian language and it formal adoption by Latvian National Standardization Organization, training of local consultants in delivering consultancy support and conducting audits, testing the standard at 10 SMEs that should result in 10 EMS implemented. The results of the project will be summarized and disseminated among all interested parties. Adoption and application in Latvia the user-friendly standard BS 8555:2003 from the UK will allow: - to provide SMEs with a comprehensive and clear guide to the phased EMS implementation; -to increase number of companies seeking for development and implementation of their own EMS; - to improve quality of the local environment involving SME in EMS implementation; - to support integration process to EU at the state and company level, breaking down some existing in SMEs fears, fixed beliefs and far-fetched barriers regarding coming European legislation. 113
