13 Potential role of RENA exchange of information (transfer of positive experience like role of EPEEF in waste sector in Croatia, and negative experience e.g. immaturity of projects etc. so that we may learn from each other) transfer of experience (especially of new member states) with cohesion and structural funds awareness raising regarding the preparation and implementation of environmental projects-active role of local and regional stakeholders 13

14 Role of Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund contracts with SGU for remediation of 299 registered landfills ( works completed on 63 landfills), Total value 387 MEUR, disbursed for remediation of official landfills in years MEUR. EPEEF co-finance projects with 55%. for remediation of illegal dumpsites EPEEF allocated another 14.3 MEUR, and for remediation of hot spots 53.4 MEUR. EPEEF will support investments for establishment and construction of RWMC with 51.5 MEUR from EPEEF co-finance project investigation works, give allocations for land purchasing, finance preparation of technical documentation in nine counties (5.5 MEUR) From EPEEF will invest 8.8 MEUR in management of special waste categories 14
