The Twinning Programme

This project belongs to the Twinning Programme of the European Commission, created in 1998. Twinning provides the framework for public administrations and semi-public organisations in the beneficiary countries to work with their counterparts in EU Member States. The main feature of a Twinning project is to deliver specific and guaranteed results. The parties agree in advance on a detailed work programme to meet an objective concerning priority areas of the EU legislation, as set out in the Accession Partnerships.

Project Background and Context
A main target of the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning is to improve the implementation of and compliance with environmental legislation of all Macedonian citizens, industries and other stakeholders. For this sake a set of 3 EU-cofinanced actions was designed: (i) this Twinning project, supporting the environmental inspection system at central and local levels, (ii) a Technical Assistance project, supporting the implementation of environmental legislation in the fields of responsibility of municipalities, and (iii) a supply contract providing different kinds of equipment and software to improve the working conditions of environmental inspectors at central and municipal levels. The 3 actions are implemented within the years 2015 – 2016.

The Twinning Project: Objectives
To achieve the overall objective of contributing to the improvement of the environmental protection in the country at both central and local levels, this project has as purpose to enhance the capacities of environmental inspection bodies for enforcement of environmental legislation at central level (State Environmental Inspectorate (SEI)) and local level (municipalities).
With this purpose in mind, the project has the following main objectives:

  • To determine an optimized institutional framework for an effective environmental inspection system.
  • To review and improve the legislative framework related to environmental enforcement.
  • To improve the practices of inspection bodies through a better planning and training.
  • To deliver or support the elaboration of numerous tools, such as a website, information management system, guides for inspectors and for industrial owners, and check lists specific to some sectors.

Project Components
According to its objectives, the project has 3 components:

  • Strengthened administrative capacities for enforcement of environmental legislation:
    • A legal and institutional assessment of the current environmental inspection and enforcement system will be performed. Based on it recommendations for improvement will be delivered, and a programme for strengthening administrative capacities of environmental inspection bodies will be prepared.
    • Guides for inspectors and for industrial owners, and check lists specific to some industrial activities or environmental issues will be delivered.
    • A training programme with corresponding training materials will be prepared and implemented.
    • Study tours will be organised to EU Member States.
  • Improved effectiveness of the environmental enforcement system:
    • A new Law on the State Environmental Inspectorate will be drafted. Relevant gaps in related environmental legislation will be identified.
    • Risk-based planning methodology will be discussed.
    • A website for the SEI and the project will be developed.
    • A series of field inspections, including joint inspections, will be implemented, with a focus on issues related to IPPC/IED, air and water quality.
    • EU Recommendations on environmental inspection will be transposed, training curricula on that subject prepared, and training delivered on their implementation.
  • Improved management information and reporting system (MIRS) for inspection:
    • MIRS delivered by the supply contract described in section “Project background and context” will be analysed, and recommendations for its optimisation delivered.
    • Risk assessment planning software tool IRAM will be discussed.

Besides the work with environmental competent authorities, dissemination and interaction with other relevant stakeholders like industry, NGOs or general public will take place as well during implementation of the activities.
