Advanced Technical Training Programme on the EU Monitoring and Reporting Regulation
Date: 19-20.05.2015
Place: Belgrade, Serbia
Organizer: ECRAN Secretariat with EC TAIEX Unit
The European Commission actively supports climate cooperation in the region of the Western
Balkans and Turkey through the Environment and Climate Regional Accession Network (ECRAN). The
Emissions Trading Working Group of ECRAN aims to provide the essential regulatory building blocks
and to increase the technical capacity for a well-functioning future national or regional ETS system,
which could be or is modelled in line with the EU ETS. This would pave the way for further
cooperation and linking with the EU ETS.
Successful implementation of an emissions trading system among others involves the
implementation of a system for the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, and for
the verification of annual emission reports. Such Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV)
systems form the backbone of any ETS system.
Objective of the Training
The advanced training programme aims to provide the authorities and operators of industrial
installations in Serbia with an improved technical understanding of the EU Monitoring and Reporting
regulation.
Expected Results of the meeting
The training will provide in-depth insights in the Monitoring and reporting regulation, and
understanding of lessons learned. Furthermore it will provide practical examples on developing a
Monitoring Plan and writing emissions reports to and optimally prepare for their tasks to develop
the Monitoring Plan and emission reports for their own installations. The specific objectives and
targeted results include:
- Obtaining detailed knowledge on the Monitoring and Reporting (MR) regulation of the European Commission for stationary ETS like installations;
- Understanding on the regulation relevant for monitoring and reporting in Serbia;
- Understanding of the requirements of the Monitoring Plan and obtaining hands-on insights in how to complete the MP;
- Understanding the requirements of the Annual Emission Reports and obtaining hands-on insights in how to complete such a report.
