3. Perspectives of ratification of the HM Protocol by Ukraine: 1 (3)
Harmonisation of Ukrainian and EU legislation is priority of all governments from early 1990s
Law of Ukraine “On the State Programme for the Approximation of the Ukrainian Legislation to the European Acquis Communautaire"
(March 2004)
Ukraine has ratified a number of environmental agreements, including:
- Stockholm Convention on POPs (September 2007)
Implementation of Environmental Acquis, e,g. IPPC Directive
About 200 European and international standards introduced
Ukraine joined WTO on 16 May 2008 3 3

4. Perspectives of ratification of the HM Protocol by Ukraine: 2 (3)
Interagency Working Group was created at MoE in accordance with the Cabinet of Ministers Order from July 1998 with participation of governmental bodies
The Concept of Strategy of Heavy Metals Emission Control was adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution from August 2000
National Action Plan for Heavy Metals Ambient Air Emission Control, first draft of 2000
Special survey of HM air emissions using new statistic form, training of involved officials
Developing of guidance for HM air emissions assessment
Developing of special software for collection and review of HM emissions data of main industries
Annual reporting on HM air emissions by industrial installations by SNAP with updated statistic questionnaire 2-TP Air (about 70,000 respondents)

5. Perspectives of ratification of the HM Protocol by Ukraine: 3 (3)
Problems:
Lack of and low quality data on heavy metal emissions from industries
Lack of consistent methodological approach, high cost of direct measurements of heavy metal emission in inventories
Absence of PM10 (PM2.5) regulation and monitoring
Lack of efficient control equipment in Ukraine
High cost of heavy metals emissions abatement 5 5

6. Ownership of the main sources of HM emissions
Industrial plants structure of ownership (National Statistics Committee of Ukraine, 2004):
State – 2.0%
Communal – 5.5%
Private – 92.5%
Private ownership:
- Production of coke and oil products – 95.3%
- Machine building – 97.3%
- Metallurgy and metal working – 98.0%
- Chemical and petrochemical industry – 98.2%
After 2004 no new publications because of full dominance of private sector

7. Permits to operate for main installations, considerations of new technical or environmental standards
Air Permit Guidance, adopted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection Order No. 108 from 09 March 2006:
Three categories of installations
First category corresponds to Annex 1 of the IPPC Directive
ВАТ use required

9. Monitoring of HM pollution
National Committee of Hydrometeorology is responsible for air quality monitoring, PM is measured at 76 stations in 48 towns:
Samples taken twice per day - data presented as average per month
8 metals, including Pb and Cd
No Hg
Monitoring of soil contamination by heavy metals in 17 towns once in 5 years
Ministry of Health has its own monitoring programmes

10. National register of heavy metals emissions: 1 (2)
New version of basic statistical survey questionnaire 2-TP (air) “Report on Ambient Air Protection“, approved by the Order of National Statistics Committee of Ukraine № October 2008
SNAP classification is used
Threshold levels are specified for pollutants
