Legal situation
• Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European
Parliament and of the Council concerning the
establishment of a European Pollutant Release
and Transfer Register and amending Council
Directives 91/689/EEC and 96/61/EC” (the ‘EPRTR Regulation’) was adopted on 18th January

removed from the active acquis

Differences
•
•
•
•
More pollutant EPER 50 → PRTR 91
More activity (not only IPPC) EPER 56 → PRTR 65
Stricter thresholds and emission level values
More releases
– Releases to air, water and soil
– Off-site transfers of hazardous waste > 2 t/year
– Off-site transfers of non hazardous waste > 2000
t/year
– Off-site transfers of certain number of pollutants
in waste water destined for waste-water
treatment
• From diffuse sources and from accidents, too
• Annual report

E-PRTR Regulation aims
• The E-PRTR Regulation aims to enhance public
access to environmental information through the
establishment of a coherent and integrated EPRTR
• contributing to the prevention and abatement of
pollution
• data for policy makers and facilitating
→ public participation in
environmental decision making →Aarhus
• Public access

Activity Sectors
PRTR 65 activities 9 activity sectors
• energy; (2 coal fired power plants,10 natural gas power plants )
• production and processing of metals; pig iron and steel
• mineral industry; (opencast-mining for the production of cement)
• chemical industry; (considerable sector)
• waste and waste water management; (regional landfills, waste water
treatment plants)
• paper and wood production and processing; (6 pulp and paper mills)
• intensive livestock production and aquaculture
(intensive aquaculture is not in Hungary, but the livestock production is
very intensive: more than 50 % of IPPC facilities)
• animal and vegetable products from the food and beverage
sector
(while Hungary is agricultural country, processing of animal and vegetable
products are important)
• other activities (it is not any plants for tanning of hides and skin, plants
for the pre-treatment of textile)
New Activities
Which are not IPPC activities
• Coal rolling mills
• Installations for the manufacture of coal
products and solid smokeless fuel;
• Underground mining and related operations;
• Opencast mining and quarrying;
• Urban waste-water treatment plants
• Independently operated industrial waste-water
treatment plants

New Activities
Which are not IPPC activities
• Industrial plants for the production paper and
board and other primary wood products
• Industrial plants for the preservation of wood
and wood products with chemicals
• Intensive aquaculture
• Installations for the building of, and painting
or removal of paint from ships

Position of new activities in
Hungary
– Now we are collecting that how many
facilities are with new activities
– On the bases of Regulation facilities have to
register to System of Database
– Regional Authorities of Environment, Nature
and Water register and control the
Facilities
– IPPC Installation register (LNYR) is
corrected and augmented for PRTR system
17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in

Implementation in Hungary
– E-PRTR government decree for implementation
(amendment of regulations for surface water,
groundwater, air, waste and waste water)
– Conception development
– Operators and Public Participation in decision
making
– Produce of expert-group
17th of October 2007, EPER and PRTR System implementation and actuation in
South-East Europe
New software and databases
– Development of programme for E-PRTR
system
– Data Collecting from National Environmental
Database System (OKIR) for E-PRTR
databases
– Development and enlargement of the
Database System of OKIR for requirement
of E-PRTR
– Report for EU, statistics
– Operators report directly though the
website of national Authorities
New website
Website will be available for public
– Building of E-PRTR website
– query site for Public
– Direct access to data
– Diagrams, trends analysis in the
future
– Forum
