MSc Gordana Đukanović Questions?  What is the current status of AQ monitoring and reporting?  Institutional arrangements: which organizations responsible for monitoring, data collection/ quality assurance/quality control, reporting and assessment?  Monitoring data quality procedures, data handling, (un)sufficiency of the spatial coverage of the country, countrywide AQ assessment: identification of problems  Dataflow and reporting - national and international: identification of problems  What options are there for improving monitoring, spatial coverage, data quality, dataflow and assessment?  How can EEA/ ETC/ACM help? 2

MSc Gordana Đukanović LEGISLATION  Law on air protection (2010)  Regulation on types of pollutants, limit values and other air quality standards (2008)  Regulation on air quality monitoring network (2010)  Rulebook on air quality monitoring methods (2011)  Regulation on limit values of polluting substances in liquid fossil fuels (2010)  Regulation on ozone depleting substances and alternative substances (F-gasses) (2011)  Regulation on emission limit values from stationary sources (2011)

MSc Gordana Đukanović Current situation Map 1 In accordance to Regulation on air quality monitoring network (2010) EPA has started activities for establishing National Air Quality Network. Regulation foresees 7+1 (EMEP) monitoring sites in 3 zones – South and North Critical Zones and Maintenance Zone

MSc Gordana Đukanović After establishing of complete network situation should be Map 2 5

MSc Gordana Đukanović  According to Montenegrin Law on Air Protection EPA proposes AQ monitoring plan to Ministry for Sustainable Development for adoption  Monitoring plan is adopted by Government  EPA opens a call to accredit institutions for AQ measurements and chooses best institutions, which fulfills foreseen conditions  Until now, in Montenegro only CETI has performed AQ measurements in accordance with Directive 2008/50  Equipment used for AQ measurements is regularly calibrated and checked according to QA/QC plan in CETI  Monthly and Annual Reports have been sent to EPA 7

MSc Gordana Đukanović  According to NPI Rulebook on detailed content and method of making information on air quality will be adopted until end of 2011  After setting up National AQ Monitoring Network (7+1 automatic stations), which is minimum number of sites in accordance to Directive, assessment of spatial coverage sufficiency will be done  Main problem is who is owner of equipment for AQ monitoring, which is managed and used by CETI.  Now CETI has a status of Public Institution, but it was established as Public Administration Institution, which means that equipment is not State property.  This fact is restricting factor for EPA in efficient management of Network, and increases the cost of monitoring. 8

MSc Gordana Đukanović  Comprehensive Information system is not establish yet  EPA didn’t establish on line access to data from automatic stations, but it should be done by the end of the year.  Based on monitoring results EPA makes Report on the State of Environment in which AQ monitoring data are presented (National level)  AQ data for reporting to EEA – AQ Questionnaire link\NEW AQ questionnaire 2010.xls link\NEW AQ questionnaire 2010.xls  EiO Decision set of data link\ME_metadata 2010.xls, link\ME_rawdata_statistics 2010.xls link\ME_metadata 2010.xls link\ME_rawdata_statistics 2010.xls  Monthly Ozone Exceedances Reports link\Monthly_ozone_ME_05_11.xlsx link\Monthly_ozone_ME_05_11.xlsx 9
