The head of the State Environmental Inspectorate of the Polissia district, Yevheniy Medvedovskyi, shared results of an important working visit to Tallinn, where an expert group meeting of the IMPEL Network (IMPEL Industry & Air Expert Team Meeting) took place. The event brought together more than 43 representatives of environmental protection agencies and expert institutions from various European countries.
The main goal of the trip was to see with their own eyes modern European solutions and understand which of them could help Ukraine on its path to full membership in the European Union.
As the head of the environmental inspectorate notes, the European system of environmental control has long moved away from outdated formal procedures. The representatives of the United Kingdom and Malta presented the experience of full digitalization of permit services and the simplification of administrative barriers. At the same time, the main emphasis there is on a risk-based approach — when the intensity of inspections and the rigidity of requirements directly depend on the level of actual environmental danger posed by a enterprise, rather than on the amount of paperwork collected. Special attention during the meetings was paid to the implementation of Best Available Techniques (BAT) and control over actual emissions.
Inspectors under the IRAM system and the green metallurgy of the future
An important element of European experience is the Integrated Risk Assessment Method (IRAM), which EU environmental authorities use to assess risks and clearly plan inspections. The main principle of this system is to concentrate inspection resources only where potential environmental harm is greatest.
“Preservation of forest stands requires not only proper control but also a clear understanding of responsibility for their destruction…”, — emphasizes the head of the State Environmental Inspectorate of the Polissia district, Yevheniy Medvedovskyi, highlighting the importance of balanced state supervision.
