1 Project: Development of the ENV.net in West Balkan and Turkey: giving citizens a voice to influence the environmental process reforms for closer EU integration SERBIA National Environmental Legislation compared to EU Environmental Legislation ACTUAL STATUS OF EU ENVIRONMENTAL ACQUIS (Chapter 27) IN SERBIA shows that Actual Government is keeping environmental approximation on hold (one of the evidence is The Law on budget for 2013). Rebuilding(after broken continuity in 2012) and further strengthening of the relevant institutions and of the administrative (human/personal) capacity should remain a new strong priority. In the last year, numerous changes of laws and secondary legislation relevant to environment sector, took place. This should be carefully monitored because the changes could lead to approaches less accepting EU guiding principles than previous ones. There is a need for enforcement of implementation of environmental legislation the measures should be link with the inclusion of environment in the other sector policies, including the justice system and financial control mechanisms. With abolishment of Environment Fund in 2012, good tool/mechanism /economic instrument for enforcement are lost, and substitution mechanism is not developed. Environmental infrastructure priorities (as noted in NEAS, RIO+20 document, Draft Fiscal Strategy, etc) should be built in accordance with plan.

River basin management Water Framework Directive - Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy The Law on Waters (Official Gazette of RS, number 30/10) (hereinafter the Law) has established that the water district is an area for which water management plan is adopted, regardless of the fact that it is not always hydrological rounded zone, and the plan is also adopted for the Danube river basin. Water management plan will contain all elements necessary for rational use and protection of water at considered area and protection from adverse effects of water, which includes assessment of necessary means for implementation of planned activities, timetable and manner of obtaining of the means. The Water Management Framework of the Republic of Serbia used approach of separate work on each basin as the base for analysis. Water Quality b.

The provisions of the Rulebook are considerably complied with the Council Directive 98/83/EU of 3 November 1998 on water quality intended for human consumption. Implementation plan for the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). Monitoring as envisaged by the Directive 91/676/EEC (Nitrates Directive) has not been established yet, especially for the nitrate vulnerable zones. Natura 2000 will be established not later than the day of accession of the Republic of Serbia to European Union. Certain Articles of EU Birds Directive are transposed into national legislation through the Law on Wildlife and Hunting (Official Gazette of RS, No. 18/10) and through by-law acts related to this field.

The Law on Nature Protection (Official Gazette of RS No. 36/09 and 88/10) and the Rulebook on transboundary movement and trade in protected species (Official Gazette of RS 99/09) ensures the approximation of European Union legislation (i.e. Council Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein, Commission Regulation 407/2009 amending Council Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein, Commission Regulation (EC) No. 865/2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation 338/97, Commission Regulation (EC) No. 100/2008 of 4 February 2008, Commission Regulation No. 425/2007 establishing measures for the implementation of Council Regulation 338/97, Commission Regulation (EC) No. 359/2009 of 30 April 2009 suspending the introduction into the Community of specimen of certain species of wild fauna and flora.
