2 Geographical Scope

3 Facts and Figures TREATY ESTABLISHING THE ENERGY COMMUNITY - signed in October 2005; entered into force on 1 July Contracting Parties: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, Ukraine, Kosovo* - 19 EU MS as Participants: AT, BG, HR, CZ, CY, FI, FR, DE, EL, HU, IT, LV, NL, PL, RO, SK, SI, SE, UK - 1 Candidate: Georgia - 3 Observers: Armenia, Norway, Turkey CONTENT - implementation of the Treaty acquis no dynamic adjustment to EU acquis requires Ministerial Council Decision - cooperation; infrastructure; reconstruction - stability as condition precedent to investments - stable legal framework - institutional framework * under UNSCR 1244

Ministries ~ COREPER Gas, Electricity, Oil, Social ECRB (4 p.a.+ WGs) Fora Regulators Gas, Electricity, Oil, Social/ Customers ACER

5 Implementation report - Prepared annually by the Secretariat, published before Ministerial Council meeting - Monitoring the achievements of Contracting Parties towards compliance with the EnC acquis - Recommendations - Analysis by CP: Electricty, Gas, Environment, Energy Efficiency, Renewables, Oil, Statistics, Competition, Open Infringement Cases - Regional analysis: Investments, Social - _Community_Implementation_Report_2014_WEB.pdf

6 Activities relevant for low carbon development - Environmental measures - Energy Efficiency - Renewables

7 Legal framework on environment 1) Title II: ACQUIS of the EnC NETWORK ENERGY Environment - Environmental Impact Assessment (Directive 85/337/EEC) after entry into force - Sulphur in Fuels (Directive 1999/32/EC) as of 1 January Large Combustion Plants (Directive 2001/80/EC) as of 1 January Art. 4(2) Wild Birds (Directive 79/409/EEC) after entry into force - Construction and operation of new generating plants Industrial Emissions (Directive 2010/75/EU) as of 1 January Endeavour to accede/implement: Kyoto Protocol; Council Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control

8 The LCP Directive - First European legislative instrument in this field adopted in 1988 (88/609/EEC) - Current LCP Directive adopted in 2001, to be replaced by IED in 2016 in the EU (for existing plants) - Setting emission limit values for SO2, NOx and dust (particulate matter) for plants with a rated thermal input (RTI) 50 MW - ELVs may vary based on the RTI of the plant and on the type of fuel used - Provisions on monitoring - Flexibility mechanisms (national emission reduction plan, limited lifetime derogation, etc.)

9 Ministerial Council decision on LCPs - Adopted on 24 October LCP implementing rules NERP: between opt-out: between IED applies mandatorily for new plants from 2018 onwards - IED for existing plants: revision clause until end 2015 (recent COM proposal: 1 January 2028) - Conventional plants may still be kept in operation for some time but the costs need to be more and more internalized EE, RE
