PROTOCOL ON POLLUTANT RELEASE

AND TRANSFER REGISTERS

The Parties to this Protocol,

Recalling article 5, paragraph 9, and article 10, paragraph 2, of the 1998 Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (the Aarhus Convention),

Recognizing that pollutant release and transfer registers provide an important mechanism to increase corporate accountability, reduce pollution and promote sustainable development, as stated in the Lucca Declaration adopted at the first meeting of the Parties to the Aarhus Convention,

Having regard to principle 10 of the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development,

Having regard also to the principles and commitments agreed to at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, in particular the provisions in chapter 19 of Agenda 21,

Taking note of the Programme for the Further Implementation of Agenda 21, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations at its nineteenth special session, 1997, in which it called for, inter alia, enhanced national capacities and capabilities for information collection, processing and dissemination, to facilitate public access to information on global environmental issues through appropriate means,

Having regard to the Plan of Implementation of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, which encourages the development of coherent, integrated information on chemicals, such as through national pollutant release and transfer registers,

Taking into account the work of the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety, in particular the 2000 Bahia Declaration on Chemical Safety, the Priorities for Action Beyond 2000 and the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register/Emission Inventory Action Plan,

Taking into account also the activities undertaken within the framework of the Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals,

Taking into account furthermore the work of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, in particular its Council Recommendation on Implementing Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers, in which the Council calls upon member countries to establish and make publicly available national pollutant release and transfer registers,

Wishing to provide a mechanism contributing to the ability of every person of present and future generations to live in an environment adequate to his or her health and well-being, by ensuring the development of publicly accessible environmental information systems,

Wishing also to ensure that the development of such systems takes into account principles contributing to sustainable development such as the precautionary approach set forth in principle 15 of the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development,

Recognizing the link between adequate environmental information systems and the exercise of the rights contained in the Aarhus Convention,

Noting the need for cooperation with other international initiatives concerning pollutants and waste, including the 2001 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants and the 1989 Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal,

Recognizing that the objectives of an integrated approach to minimizing pollution and the amount of waste resulting from the operation of industrial installations and other sources are to achieve a high level of protection for the environment as a whole, to move towards sustainable and environmentally sound development and to protect the health of present and future generations,

Convinced of the value of pollutant release and transfer registers as a cost-effective tool for encouraging improvements in environmental performance, for providing public access to information on pollutants released into and transferred in and through communities, and for use by Governments in tracking trends, demonstrating progress in pollution reduction, monitoring compliance with certain international agreements, setting priorities and evaluating progress achieved through environmental policies and programmes,

Believing that pollutant release and transfer registers can bring tangible benefits to industry through the improved management of pollutants,

Noting the opportunities for using data from pollutant release and transfer registers, combined with health, environmental, demographic, economic or other types of relevant information, for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of potential problems, identifying ‘hot spots’, taking preventive and mitigating measures, and setting environmental management priorities,

Recognizing the importance of protecting the privacy of identified or identifiable natural persons in the processing of information reported to pollutant release and transfer registers in accordance with applicable international standards relating to data protection,

Recognizing also the importance of developing internationally compatible national pollutant release and transfer register systems to increase the comparability of data,

Noting that many member States of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the European Community and the Parties to the North American Free Trade Agreement are acting to collect data on pollutant releases and transfers from various sources and to make these data publicly accessible, and recognizing especially in this area the long and valuable experience in certain countries,

Taking into account the different approaches in existing emission registers and the need to avoid duplication, and recognizing therefore that a certain degree of flexibility is needed,

Urging the progressive development of national pollutant release and transfer registers,

Urging also the establishment of links between national pollutant release and transfer registers and information systems on other releases of public concern,

Have agreed as follows:

Article 1

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this Protocol is to enhance public access to information through the establishment of coherent, integrated, nationwide pollutant release and transfer registers (PRTRs) in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol, which could facilitate public participation in environmental decision-making as well as contribute to the prevention and reduction of pollution of the environment.

Aneks IV

ARBITRAŽA

1. U slučaju podnošenja spora na arbitražu u skladu sa odredbama člana 23, stav 2. ovog protokola, Strana ili strane obaveštavaju drugu stranu ili strane u sporu diplomatskim putem, kao i sekretarijat, o predmetu arbitraže i označavaju naročito članove ovog protokola čije je tumačenje ili primena u pitanju. Sekretarijat prosleđuje primljene informacije svim Stranama ovog protokola.

Arbitražni tribunal se sastoji od tri člana. Strana ili strane koje tuže, kao i druga strana ili strane u sporu imenuju po jednog arbitra, a dvoje imenovanih arbitara na osnovu sporazuma određuju trećeg koji je predsednik arbitražnog tribunala. On ne sme da bude državljanin jedne od strana u sporu, niti mesto njegovog stalnog boravišta može biti na teritoriji jedne od tih strana, niti on može biti zaposlen kod od njih, niti da je radio na tom slučaju u bilo kom drugom svojstvu.

Ako predsednik arbitražnog tribunala ne bude određen u roku od dva meseca od dana imenovanja drugog arbitra, Izvršni sekretar Ekonomske komisije za Evropu, na zahtev bilo koje strane u sporu, određuje predsednika u periodu od naredna dva meseca.

Ako jedna od strana u sporu ne imenuje arbitra u roku od dva meseca od obaveštenja navedenog u stavu 1, druga strana o tome može obavestiti Izvršnog sekretara Ekonomske komisije za Evropu, koji postavlja predsednika arbitražnog tribunala u roku od naredna dva meseca. Po postavljenju, predsednik arbitražnog tribunala zahteva od strane koja nije imenovala svog arbitra da to učini u roku od dva meseca. Ako Strana to ne učini u datom roku, predsednik o tome obaveštava Izvršnog sekretara Ekonomske komisije za Evropu, koji imenuje arbitra u roku od naredna dva meseca.

Arbitražni donosi svoju odluku u skladu sa međunarodnim pravom i odredbama ovog protokola.

Svaki arbitražni tribunal konstituisan u skladu sa odredbama ovog aneksa donosi svoja pravila postupka.

Odluke arbitražnog tribunala, bilo po pitanju postupka bilo u pogledu predmeta spor, se donose većinom glasova njegovih članova.

Tribunal može preduzeti sve odgovarajuće mere radi utvrđivanja činjeničnog stanja.

Strane u sporu olakšavaju rad arbitražnog tribunala i, naročito koristeći sva sredstva koja im stoje na raspolaganju, one :

(a) obezbeđuju sva relevantna dokumenta, sredstva i informacije;

(b) omogućavaju, kada je to potrebno, pozivanje svedoka ili veštaka i prihvatanje njihovog dokaznog materijala.

Strane i arbitri štite poverljivost svake informacije koju dobiju u poverenju u toku postupka pred arbitražnim tribunalom.

Arbitražni tribunal može, na zahtev jedne od strana, da odredi privremene mere zaštite.

Ako se jedna od strana u sporu ne pojavi pred arbitražnim tribunalom ili ne pruži odbranu svog slučaja, druga strana može zahtevati od tribunala da nastavi sa postupkom i donese konačnu odluku. Odsustvo jedne strane ili neučestvovanje u odbrani slučaja ne predstavlja prepreku za odvijanje postupka. Pre donošenja konačne odluke, arbitražni tribunal se mora uveriti da se zahtev u potpunosti zasniva na činjenicama i zakonu.

Arbitražni tribunal može da sasluša i odluči o protivtužbenim zahtevima koji proizilaze direktno iz predmeta spora.

Ukoliko arbitražni tribunal ne odluči drugačije zbog posebnih okolnosti datog slučaja, troškovi tribunala, uključujući naknade za njegove članove, snose strane u sporu podjednako. Tribunal vodi evidenciju svih troškova o čemu podnosi konačni obračun stranama u sporu.

Svaka Strana ovog protokola koja ima pravni interes u predmetu spora i na koju može da utiče odluka u datom slučaju, može da se umeša u postupak uz saglasnost tribunala.

Arbitražni tribunal donosi svoju odluku u roku od pet meseci od dana svog konstituisanja, osim ukoliko ne utvrdi da je neophodno da produži vremenski rok za period koji ne treba da bude duži od pet meseci.

Odluka arbitražnog tribunala je propraćena obrazloženjem. Ona je konačna i obavezujuća za sve strane u sporu. Arbitražni tribunal odluku dostavlja stranama u sporu i sekretarijatu. Sekretarijat prosleđuje primljene informacije svim Stranama Protokola.

Svaki spor koji može nastati između Strana u pogledu tumačenja ili izvr-šenje odluke, strane mogu izneti arbitražnom tribunalu koje je tu odluku donelo, ili, u slučaju da taj tribunal ne može da se sazove, drugom tribunalu konstituisanom za ovu svrhu na isti način kao i prethodno.

OBRAZLOŽENjE

I. USTAVNI OSNOV ZA DONOŠENjE ZAKONA

Ustavni osnov za donošenje ovog zakona je član 99. stav 1. tačka 4. Ustava Republike Srbije, po kojem Narodna skupština potvrđuje međunarodne ugovore, kad je zakonom predviđena obaveza njihovog potvrđivanja.

II. RAZLOZI ZBOG KOJIH SE PREDLAŽE POTVRĐIVANjE ZAKONA

Ocena stanja

Protokol o registrima ispuštanja i prenosa zagađujućih materija (u daljem tekstu: PRTR protokol) je poseban međunarodni ugovor usvojen na Petoj ministarskoj konferenciji „Životna sredina za Evropu” održanoj u Kijevu (Ukrajina) u maju 2003. godine. Ovaj protokol je u Kijevu potpisalo 36 država članica UNECE i Evropska zajednica kao i tada postojeća državna zajednica Srbija i Crna Gora. PRTR protokol je stupio na snagu 8. oktobra 2009. godine.

PRTR protokol predstavlja međunarodni ugovor razvijen u okviru Konvencije o dostupnosti informacija, učešću javnosti u donošenju odluka pravu na pravnu zaštitu u pitanjima životne sredine (Arhuska konvencija), i formalno je protokol uz ovu konvenciju. Arhuska konvencija je usvojena na Četvrtoj ministarskoj konferenciji „Životna sredina za Evropu” održanoj 1998. godine u Arhusu (Danska) i predstavlja novu vrstu međunarodnih ugovora u oblasti životne sredine koji na specifičan način povezuje oblast životne sredine i ljudska prava. U skladu sa odredbama ove konvencije, razrađeni su ključni elementi PRTR sistema, njegov izgled, struktura i obim, kao i pravila vezana za prikupljanje i arhiviranje podataka, izveštavanje, procenu njihovog kvaliteta, javni pristup informacijama, poverljivost podataka i informacija, učešće javnosti u razvoju registra, međunarodna saradnja u ovoj oblasti, itd.

PRTR protokol je prvi pravno obavezujući instrument o registrima ispuštanja i prenosa zagađujućih materija. Ovaj protokol utvrđuje obavezu Strana da uspostave i održavaju javno dostupan registar ispuštanja i prenosa zagađujućih materija koji je: organizovan po postrojenju u odnosu na izveštavanje o tačkastim izvorima; omogućava izveštavanje o difuznim izvorima; organizovan po zagađujućim materijama ili vrstom otpada; organizovan prema elementima životne sredine i pravi razliku između ispuštanja u vazduh, zemljište i vodu; obuhvata informacije o prenosima; zasnovan je na obaveznom periodičnom izveštavanju; obuhvata standardizovane i pravovremene podatke, ograničen broj standardizovanih graničnih vrednosti i ograničenih odredbi, ukoliko postoje, vezanih za poverljivost; usklađen i projektovan tako da bude lak za korišćenje i dostupan javnosti, uključujući i u elektronskoj formi; omogućava učešće javnosti u njegovom razvoju i izmenama; strukturirana, kompjuterizovana baza podataka ili nekoliko povezanih baza podataka koje održava nadležni organ.

Brz industrijski razvoj u nekim regionima sveta je doveo do značajnog povećanja broja i količina hemijskih materija koje se koriste u industriji, ali i do porasta broja industrijskih postrojenja koja u svom tehnološkom procesu koriste te hemikalije kao sirovine ili pomoćne materije. Ovakvo stanje je za posledicu imalo i povećanje emisije zagađujućih materija u vazduh, vodu i zemljište, kao i generisanja velikih količina otpada. Radi preciznog utvrđivanja izvora emisija zagađujućih materija i nivoa njihove odgovornosti za nastale probleme, nekoliko industrijskih zemalja je uspostavilo katastre zagađivača koji su tokom godina prerasli u međunarodno standardizovane sisteme.

PRTR protokol je katalog ili registar ispuštanja i prenosa potencijalno opasnih hemikalija i uključuje informacije o njihovoj prirodi i količinama.

Pri oceni stanja u ovoj oblasti treba imati u vidu propise u različitim oblastima. Na uopšten način može se reći da su nacionalni propisi Republike Srbije, u oblasti koja je predmet uređivanja PRTR protokola, usklađeni sa osnovnim zahtevima koji proizilaze iz njenih odredbi kao i da postoje osnovne institucionalne pretpostavke neophodne za njegovu primenu. Republika Srbija je svojim zakonodavstvom implementirala osnovne zahteve iz PRTR protokola, iako još nije formalna članica.

Osnovna zakonodavna rešenja od značaja za pitanja koja uređuje PRTR protokol sadržana su u sledećim propisima: Ustav Republike Srbije, Zakon o zaštiti životne sredine („Službeni glasnik RS”, br. 135/04, 36/09, 36/09 – dr. zakon i 72/09 – dr. zakon), Zakon o vodama („Službeni glasnik RS”, broj 30/10), Zakon o zaštiti vazduha („Službeni glasnik RS”, broj 36/09), Pravilnik o metodologiji za izradu nacionalnog i lokalnog registra izvora zagađivanja, kao i metodologiji za vrste, načine i rokove prikupljanja podataka („Službeni glasnik RS”, broj 91/10).

Za primenu PRTR protokola osnovni značaj ima više odredaba Ustava Republike Srbije. Centralno mesto pripada odredbama nekoliko članova među kojima su: član 74. kojim je utvrđeno, između ostalog, da „svako ima pravo na zdravu životnu sredinu i na blagovremeno i potpuno obaveštavanje o njenom stanju”; član 51. kojim je utvrđeno da „svako ima pravo da istinito, potpuno i blagovremeno bude obaveštavan o pitanjima od javnog značaja i sredstva javnog obaveštavanja su dužna da to pravo poštuju”, odnosno da „svako ima pravo na pristup podacima koji su u posedu državnih organa i organizacija kojima su poverena javna ovlašćenja, u skladu sa zakonom.”

Zakon o zaštiti životne sredine u članu 3. definiše pojam Registra izvora zagađivanja kao skupa sistematizovanih podataka i informacija o vrstama, količinama, načinu i mestu unošenja, ispuštanja ili odlaganja zagađujućih mate-rija u gasovitom, tečnom i čvrstom agregatnom stanju ili ispuštanja energije (buke, vibracija, toplote, jonizujućeg i nejonizujućeg zračenja) iz tačkastih, linijskih i površinskih izvora zagađivanja u životnu sredinu. U članu 75. Zakon propisuje da se radi praćenja kvalitativnih i kvantitativnih promena u životnoj sredini i preduzimanja mera zaštite u životnoj sredini vode nacionalni i lokalni registri izvora zagađivanja životne sredine. Nacionalni registar izvora zagađivanja životne sredine vodi Agencija za zaštitu životne sredine (u daljem tekstu: Agencija). Lokalni registar izvora zagađivanja životne sredine vodi nadležni organ jedinice lokalne samouprave. Zakon dalje propisuje da Ministar nadležan za poslove životne sredine (u daljem tekstu: Ministar) propisuje metodologiju za izradu nacionalnog i lokalnog registra izvora zagađivanja, kao i metodologiju za vrste, načine i rokove prikupljanja podataka. Zagađivač je dužan da o svom trošku dostavlja propisane podatke na način i u rokovima utvrđenim u skladu sa zakonom.

Zakon o vodama u članu 131. propisuje da se radi obezbeđenja podataka potrebnih za upravljanje vodama, odnosno korišćenje voda, zaštitu voda i zaštitu od štetnog dejstva voda, vode vodni katastri koje čine: katastar vodnog dobra, katastar vodnih objekata, katastar korišćenja voda i katastar zagađivača. Zakon u članu 132. dalje predviđa da katastar zagađivača voda naročito sadrži: registar, zbirku isprava i tehničku i ostalu dokumentaciju o izvorima zagađivanja voda, količini i vrsti emisije i prijemnicima (recipijentima). Vodne katastre iz st. 1. do 4. ovog člana vodi javno vodoprivredno preduzeće. Javno vodoprivredno preduzeće dužno je da dostavlja Ministarstvu životne sredine, rudarstva i prostornog planiranja (u daljem tekstu: Ministarstvo) registre vodnih katastara. Ministarstvo je dužno da podatke iz vodnog katastra dostavlja ministarstvu nadležnom za poslove koji se odnose na tehničke propise, u skladu sa posebnim zakonom. Vodni katastar vodi se u pisanoj i elektronskoj formi. Ministar bliže propisuje sadržinu i način vođenja vodnih katastara iz st. 1. do 4. ovog člana.

Zakon o zaštiti vazduha u članu 68. propisuje da je informacioni sistem kvaliteta vazduha sastavni deo jedinstvenog informacionog sistema zaštite životne sredine koji sadrži: podatke državne mreže i lokalnih mreža za praćenje kvaliteta vazduha, kao i podatke koji su dobijeni merenjem od strane operatera; podatke o supstancama koje oštećuju ozonski omotač; podatke iz Nacionalnog inventara emisije gasova sa efektom staklene bašte i odstranjenih količina ovih gasova putem ponora; podatke iz Nacionalnog inventara nenamerno ispuštenih dugotrajnih organskih zagađujućih supstanci; mere i planove za zaštitu i poboljšanje kvaliteta vazduha; mere i planove za ublažavanje klimatskih promena; mere i planove za zaštitu ozonskog omotača; podatke o prekoračenju koncentracija opasnih po zdravlje ljudi i mere zaštite zdravlja ljudi i životne sredine u takvim slučajevima; podatke o organima državne uprave i o ovlašćenim pravnim licima koja obavljaju poslove monitoringa kvaliteta vazduha i merenja nivoa zagađujućih materija i emisije; podatke iz registra izvora zagađivanja vazduha; podatke o izvršenom inspekcijskom nadzoru i izrečenim merama; druge podatke od značaja za kvalitet vazduha. Informacioni sistem kvaliteta vazduha za Republiku Srbiju vodi Agencija. Državni organi i organizacije, operateri i ovlašćena pravna lica dužni su da blagovremeno i bez naknade dostavljaju podatke iz svoje nadležnosti, kao i druge podatke koji su potrebni za vođenje informacionog sistema o kvalitetu vazduha Agenciji u cilju izrade planova i izveštaja, u skladu sa ovim zakonom. Agencija je dužna da na propisan način prikuplja i unosi podatke u informacioni sistem kvaliteta vazduha.

Pravilnik o metodologiji za izradu nacionalnog i lokalnog registra izvora zagađivanja, kao i metodologiji za vrste, načine i rokove prikupljanja podataka sadrži više odredaba sistemskog karaktera koje su relevantne za pitanja koja reguliše ovaj protokol. Ovaj pravilnik u članu 1. propisuje metodologiju za izradu nacionalnog i lokalnog registra izvora zagađivanja kao i metodologiju za vrste, načine, i rokove dostavljanja podataka. Pravilnik u članu 2. dalje predviđa da Nacionalni registar izvora zagađivanja (u daljem tekstu: Nacionalni registar) vodi Agencija u skladu sa Zakonom o zaštiti životne sredine a lokalni registar izvora zagađivanja (u daljem tekstu: Lokalni registar) vodi nadležni organ jedinice lokalne samouprave u skladu sa Zakonom o zaštiti životne sredine. Pravilnik u članu 3. predviđa da Nacionalni registar sadrži podatke koje dostavljaju privredna društva i druga pravna lica i preduzetnici koja predstavljaju izvore zagađivanja različitih delatnosti, datih u prilogu broj 1 – Lista 1 Spisak delatnosti i minimalne granične vrednosti za izveštavanje za Nacionalni registar . Pravilnik u članu 3. dalje predviđa da Lokalni registar sadrži podatke koje dostavljaju privredna društva i druga pravna lica i preduzetnici koja predstavljaju izvore zagađivanja različitih delatnosti, datih u prilogu broj 1 – Lista 2 Spisak delatnosti i minimalne granične vrednosti za izveštavanje za Lokalne registre. Član 4. ovog pravilnika propisuje da se za potrebe registara prikupljaju podaci o zagađujućima materijama koje se emituju u životnu sredinu, a koje su date u Prilogu broj 2 – Spisak zagađujućih materija. Član 4. ovog pravilnika dalje propisuje da se za potrebe registara prikupljaju podaci o određenim zagađujućima materijama koje se emituju u vazduh i vode u zavisnosti od delatnosti, date u Prilogu broj 3 – Spisak zagađujućih materija koje se emituju u vazduh u zavisnosti od delatnosti i Prilogu broj 4 – Spisak zagađujućih materija koje se emituju u vode u zavisnosti od delatnosti. Za potrebe izveštavanja o otpadu dostavljaju se podaci o količinama i karakteristikama neopasnog i opasnog otpada koji se proizvodi u postrojenjima delatnosti iz člana 3. st. 1. i 2. ovog pravilnika.

PRTR protokol sadrži četiri aneksa: Aneks I (SPISAK DELATNOSTI I MINIMALNE GRANIčNE VREDNOSTI ZA IZVEšTAVANJE), Aneks II (SPISAK ZAGAđUJUćIH MATERIJA), Aneks III (DEO A-POSTUPCI ODLAGANJA (‘D’) i DEO B-POSTUPCI PONOVNOG ISKORIŠĆENjA OTPADA (‘R’)), Aneks IV (ARBITRAŽA). PRTR protokol u Aneksu I daje listu postrojenja i delatnosti, kao i granice izveštavanja prema kapacitetu ili broju zaposlenih. U Aneksu II nabrojane su zagađujuće materije čije je ispuštanje ili prenos potrebno pratiti. Aneks III bliže prikazuje postupke odlaganja i ponovnog iskorišćenja čvrstog otpada. U Aneksu IV se detaljnije reguliše arbitražni postupak kao jedan od dva osnovna načina za rešavanje sporova koji mogu nastati u tumačenju i primeni odredaba PRTR protokola. Na osnovu ovih aneksa i na osnovu člana 7. PRTR protokola obezbeđuje se izveštavanje najvažnijih postrojenja o najznačajnijim zagađujućim materijama.

Cilj i značaj

Cilj PRTR protokola je unapređenje dostupnosti informacija javnosti preko uspostavljanja usklađenih, integrisanih, nacionalnih registara ispuštanja i prenosa zagađujućih materija u skladu sa odredbama ovog protokola, što bi moglo olakšati učešće javnosti u donošenju odluka po pitanjima životne sredine, kao i doprineti prevenciji i smanjenju zagađenja životne sredine.

PRTR protokol je prvi pravno obavezujući instrument o registrima ispuštanja i prenosa zagađujućih materija. I pored toga što reguliše informisanje o zagađujućim materijama, a ne samo zagađivanje, PRTR protokol ima za svrhu da izvrši značajan pritisak na sve zagađivače iz razloga što ni jedno preduzeće ne želi da bude označeno kao izvor izvora emisija zagađujućih materija.

Osnovna karakteristika PRTR protokola je da se prikazuju informacije o tačno definisanim hemijskim materijama. RTR rotokol podrazumeva periodičnost prikupljanja informacije, čime se omogućuje prostorna i vremenska analiza distribucije zagađujućih materija. Korišćenjem precizno definisanih identifikatora za zagađujuće materije, postrojenja i druge izvore, moguće je prikupljanje podataka, njihovo poređenje i agregacija, kao i automatska obrada dobijenih informacija.

Vrlo značajna karakteristika PRTR protokola je javnost podataka i informacija, koje moraju biti dostupne svim zainteresovanim stranama. Ovo zahteva da shema PRTR protokola bude sveobuhvatna i lako razumljiva. Aktivnom diseminacijom prikupljenih podataka uvećava se svest zaposlenih i lokalnih samouprava o potencijalnom hemijskom riziku sa krajnjim ciljem povećanja nivoa zaštite na radu i zaštite životne sredine na nekom prostoru. PRTR protokol može da posluži i kao osnova za promociju čistih tehnologija, prevencije zagađenja, kao i redukcije rizika vezanih za hemijski hazard.

Na osnovu PRTR protokola u Republici Srbiji je ustanovljen registar izvora zagađivanja koji predstavlja registar informacija i podataka o zagađivačima životne sredine i predstavlja osnovu za identifikaciju i praćenje izvora zagađivanja životne sredine. Registar izvora zagađivanja je ustanovljen da bi zadovoljio rastuće potrebe državnih organa, ali i šire zajednice, za informacijama o izvorima i količinama zagađujućih materija emitovanih životnu sredinu. Baziran je na principima PRTR protokola Arhuske konvencije i harmonizovan sa odgovarajućom zakonskom regulativom Evropske unije (Regulation (EC) No 166/2006). Registar izvora zagađivanja predstavlja proizvod partnerskog odnosa privrednih subjekata i Agencije kao organa ovlašćenog za obavljanje ovih poslova. Prema utvrđenoj metodologiji UNECE preduzeća sama dostavljaju potrebne podatke.

Imajući u vidu formulisane ciljeve očigledno je da potvrđivanje PRTR protokola i njegova potpuna primena mogu imati višestruk značaj i treba ih posmatrati u širem kontekstu. Potvrđivanjem ovog protokola Republika Srbija će pokazati spremnost na poštovanje vrednosti koje su definisane kao cilj i osnova ovog i drugih međunarodnih ugovora. Najpre, opšti značaj primene PRTR protokola proizlazi iz ukupnog značaja koji pitanja koja su predmet uređivanja imaju za većinu država. Polaznim stavom se može smatrati stav da se pitanja dostupnosti informacija mogu smatrati opštim kriterijumom za procenu stanja demokratizacije društva. Otuda i univerzalni značaj principa i pravila PRTR protokola i Arhuske konvencije koji znatno prevazilaze usko stručna pitanja koja se najčešće tiču samo oblasti životne sredine, u užem smislu reči, i zadiru u temeljna pitanja poštovanja ljudskih prava. Na taj način se primena pravila iz PRTR protokola i Arhuske konvencije dotiče poštovanja svih značajnijih međunarodnopravnih instrumenata u oblasti ljudskih prava i predstavlja njihov sastavni deo. Potvrđivanjem PRTR protokola Republika Srbija će pokazati spremnost na poštovanje vrednosti koje su definisane kao cilj i osnova ovog i drugih međunarodnih ugovora.

Značaj potvrđivanja i primene PRTR protokola treba posmatrati i sa stanovišta potencijala za unapređivanje regionalne saradnje u oblasti životne sredine. Pri tom treba imati u vidu činjenicu da je do sada PRTR protokol ratifikovalo 26 država regiona među kojima su, osim Bosne i Hercegovine i Bivše Jugoslovenske Republike Makedonije, sve države susedi Republike Srbije (Albanija, Bugarska, Republika Hrvatska, Mađarska, Rumunija). Ostvarivanje konkretnih ciljeva zaštite životne sredine u Republici Srbiji nije moguće bez potpunog uključivanja u međunarodnu saradnju koja se odvija u okviru međunarodnih ugovora. Pored Arhuske konvencije i PRTR protokola, do sada su pod pokroviteljstvom UNECE-a u oblasti životne sredine zaključena još četiri ključna međunarodna ugovora. To su: Konvencija o prekograničnom zagađivanju vazduha na velikim udaljenostima (Ženeva, 1979) uz koju je u kasnijem periodu zaključeno osam protokola; Konvencija o proceni uticaja na životnu sredinu u prekograničnom kontekstu (Espo, 1991) uz koju je kasnije zaključen poseban Protokol o strateškoj proceni uticaja na životnu sredinu; Konvencija o prekograničnim posledicama industrijskih akcidenata (Helsinki, 1992) i Konvencija o zaštiti i korišćenju prekograničnih vodotokova i međunarodnih jezera (Helsinki, 1992) uz koje su kasnije, takođe, zaključena dva posebna protokola. Svi pomenuti međunarodni ugovori sadrže odredbe koje su kompatibilne sa detaljnije razrađenim rešenjima iz Arhuske konvencije i PRTR protokola.

U okviru pojedinih radnih tela formiranih pod pokroviteljstvom PRTR protokola sprovode se različite aktivnosti od značaja za ostvarivanje osnovnih odredaba te bi punopravno uključivanje Republike Srbije u ove procese imalo uticaj i na stvaranje pretpostavki za dalje unapređivanje nacionalnih kapaciteta.

Pri razmatranju značaja PRTR protokola treba imati u vidu i to da je on zaključen u okviru Ekonomske komisije Ujedinjenih nacija za Evropu i procesa „Životna sredina za Evropu”, čijoj je šestoj ministarskoj konferenciji Repub-lika Srbija bila domaćin (Beograd, 10-12. oktobra 2007. godine) i od koje se oče-kuje aktivna uloga u procesima daljeg jačanja međunarodne saradnje u ovoj oblasti.

Sa stanovišta nacionalne politike u oblasti životne sredine značaj potvrđivanja i primene PRTR protokola proizlazi iz povezanosti međunarodnih i nacionalnih ciljeva u ovoj oblasti. Potvrđivanje PRTR protokola treba posmatrati u kontekstu ukupnih napora koji se preduzimaju u Republici Srbiji u pravcu njenog članstva u Evropskoj uniji, odnosno usklađivanja nacionalnih propisa sa propisima EU. Potvrđivanje PRTR protokola i dosledna primena njegovih odredaba u direktnoj su vezi sa procesom približavanja Republike Srbije Evropskoj uniji. Ovo iz više razloga a pre svega zbog činjenice da norme PRTR protokola predstavljaju i deo važeće legislative Evropske unije sa kojom se nacionalni propisi intenzivno usklađuju.

U suštinskom smislu potvrđivanje PRTR protokola i dosledna primena njegovih odredaba treba da bude pretpostavka i garancija poštovanja prava građana za informisanjem, kao ključnih subjekata sistema zaštite životne sredine i stvaranja uslova za njihovo aktivnije učešće u donošenju odluka koje se tiču životne sredine.

III. OBJAŠNjENjE OSNOVNIH PRAVNIH INSTITUTA I POJEDINAČNIH REŠENjA

Članom 1. Zakona uređuje se potvrđivanje PRTR protokola, sačinjen 21. maja 2003. godine u Kijevu (Ukrajina), u originalu na engleskom, francuskom i ruskom jeziku

Član 2. Zakona sadrži tekst PRTR protokola u originalu na engleskom jeziku i u prevodu na srpski jezik.

Članom 3. Zakona predviđa se da Republika Srbija podnosi Međunarodnom sudu pravde rešavanje spora oko tumačenja ili primene PRTR protokola.

Članom 4. Zakona predviđa se da ovaj zakon stupa na snagu osmog dana od dana objavljivanja u „Službenom glasniku Republike Srbije – Međunarodni ugovori”.

IV. FINANSIJSKE OBAVEZE ZA IZVRŠAVANjE PROTOKOLA I PROCENA POTREBNIH FINASIJSKIH SREDSTAVA ZA NjEGOVO IZVRŠAVANjE

Pristupanje PRTR protokolu nije uslovljeno plaćanjem godišnje kontribucije od strane Republike Srbije.

Finansijska sredstva za sprovođenje PRTR protokola obezbeđuju se u budžetu Republike Srbije. Sredstva potrebna za unos i pripremu podataka za izveštavanje prema Evropskoj agenciji za zaštitu životne sredine, u odgovarajućem iznosu od minimum 2.000.000 dinara, se svake godine planiraju na poziciji 423 u budžetu Ministarstva životne sredine, rudarstva i prostornog planiranja-Agencija za zaštitu životne sredine.
