Training workshop on LCP, Seveso II and E-PRTR in ECENA member countries
March 17-21, 2008, Bristol, UK

The Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Network for Accession (ECENA) held a training for environmental inspectors and environmental ministry officials focused on three modules: LCP, Seveso II and EPER/ E-PRTR. The training was held in hotel “Hilton” in Bristol, United Kingdom on March 17-21, 2008, including four practical study visits. The organization was conducted with a great help from the representatives of Environmental Agency of England and Wales.

The training programme focused on countries that are either candidates or potential candidates for EU membership, with a goal to increase their capacities to implement the Large Combustion Plants and Seveso II directives. The training aimed to help the counties in fulfilling their obligations under the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR), which will succeed the European Pollutant Emissions Register (EPER).

The programme alternated presentations, plenary and small working group discussions, allowing issues to be tackled related to development and difficulties, and providing an opportunity to learn from the experience of the European Union and its member states. Four study visits were organized, more specifically LCP Site visit – Didcot Power Station, Oxfordshire on 18th of March, two Seveso II sites - VOPAK Terminal, Barry Silicon Based Manufacturing Installation in South Wales and Murco petrol store, Westerleigh; and visit to the Environmental Agency of England and Wales on the 20th of March;

The participants of the training programme came from environmental enforcement agencies and inspectorates, as well as from the environmental ministries in Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Rumania and Serbia, including Kosovo (as defined by UNSCR 1244) and Turkey.
