1INTRODUCTION
In order to fulfil the air pollutant emission reduction commitments for sulphur dioxide (SO 2), nitrogen oxides
(NO.), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC), ammonia (NH 3) and fine particulate matter (PM
2,5) for the period from 2020 to 2029 and from 2030 onwards, contributing to the achievement of
anthropogenic emissions of certain air pollutants, in order to advance air quality levels that do not give rise to
significant negative impacts on and risks to human health and the environment, the Programme for the control
of air pollution has been developed in accordance with Article 20. Regulations on national obligations to
reduce the emissions of certain air pollutants in the Republic of Croatia (Narodne Novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 76/18) (hereinafter the Regulation) and the Guidelines for the
elaboration and implementation of the national air pollution control programmes of Member States by the
European Commission.
The available sources of information listed in Chapter 1.3 have been used to prepare the Air Pollution Control
Programme. The structure of the document is combined, and the European Commission is combined to
develop and implement national air pollution control programmes (hereinafter: formate).The format of the
Programme is defined by the Implementing Decision for determining the format of the national air
pollution control programme 1 (hereinafter PKOZ Implementing Decision), adopted by the European
Commission pursuant to Article 6.(10) Directive (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants,
amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC (hereafter NEC Directive).In
accordance with Article 2Implementing Decisions PENZ, Member States, shall use the common formats to be
used when reporting the national air pollution control programme to the Commission in accordance with
Article 10(1).NEC of the Directive.
The Air Pollution Control Programme contains more information to better understand the issue and
performance of the contractual obligations and does not follow the format in the numbering of content
chapters. The format tables are part of the substantive chapters of the Programme for the Control of Air
Pollution Control (Chapter 1.4), and their original number, each of which is included in the chapter of the
mandatory format for ease of reference for the reader. In the light of the foregoing, the numbering of the
relevant chapter shall also appear at the beginning of each chapter. It should be pointed out that not all format
tables are mandatory and, arbitrarily, can fill them out of the table if the data available to them are available.
The mandatory fields are in the format shown in bold (bold) and indicated by the code ( M12).
The air pollution control programme shall comprise: an overview of the national policy framework and
measures in the area of air quality and air pollution, the review of progress in reducing emissions and the
improvement of air quality achieved through existing policies and measures (hereinafter PAM) and the degree
of alignment with European Union commitments (hereinafter PAM) and the degree of alignment with
European Union commitments (hereinafter PAM) and the degree of alignment with European Union
commitments (hereinafter PAM) and the degree of alignment with European Union commitments (hereinafter
PAM) and the degree of alignment with European Union commitments (hereafter PAM) as well as the degree
of alignment with PAM already adopted, possible policy options to comply with the 2020, 2030 reduction and
reduction commitments already adopted, stakeholder consultations with the public and key sector
stakeholders, selection of PAM for adoption by sector, including a timetable for their adoption,
implementation, audit and responsible authorities, projections of the combined effect of PAM on emission
reductions, air quality and the environment and associated uncertainties, and the financial resources and
timeframe required to implement PAM.
The introductory phrase below provides a summary of the legal framework for drawing up the air pollution
control programme, the purpose and objective of the scheme and the available sources of information to be
taken into account in the preparation.
Commission1 Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1522 of 11 October 2018 establishing a common format of national air pollution
control programmes in accordance with NEC Directive 2 abbreviationMission (s) required
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
10
1.1. LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE DESIGN OF AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
PROGRAMMES
The legal basis for drawing up the Air Pollution Control Programme (hereinafter: the Programme) is the
Environmental Protection Act (NN Nos 80/13, 153/13, 78/15 and 12/18), the Air Protection Act (NN Nos
130/11, 47/14 and 61/17) and the NEC Regulation.
The Republic of Croatia is party to a number of international agreements, conventions and protocols,
including those concerning atmospheric pollution.
The 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (the LRTAP Convention) is a framework
agreement which obliges States to combat air pollution. The protocols are key assets/legal instruments for
reducing air pollution. To date, the LRTAP Convention follows up to 8 protocols which provide concrete
measures to reduce air pollution, namely the individual pollutants — sulphur dioxide (SO 2), nitrogen oxides
(NO x), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals (TM) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
These obligations have also been adopted by Croatia as a Party to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range
Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP Convention) (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of
Croatia) No 12/93) and of the Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone (‘the
Gothenburg Protocol’) (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) — International
Treaties, No 07/08).A BCP shall promote an approach that takes into account the multiple effects of
individual pollutants, in order to prevent or minimise exceedance of critical loads from acidification, nutrient
nitrogen loads and critical levels of ground-level ozone for human health and vegetation. To this end, the
Protocol outlines national emission allocations that each Party must maintain below the defined value by 2010
and in the years thereafter, for the following pollutants: SO 2, NOx, NH 3 and VOC.In EU legislation and then
into national law, the Protocol has been largely transposed by Directive 2001/80/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on large combustion plants and Directive 2001/81/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on national emission ceilings for certain
atmospheric pollutants (the old NEC Directive).
Considering that the amendments to the Protocol relating to new emission reduction commitments have been
adopted including in addition to the abovementioned pollutants and fine particulate matter (PM 2,5).Existing
air policy has been enhanced at the EU level with the aim of achieving levels of air quality that do not give
rise to significant negative impacts on, and risks to, human health and the environment, and the Directive was
adopted.
The new NEC Directive provides new reduction commitments for certain pollutants in VOC, NH 3, SO 2, PM
2,5 and NOx for the periods from 2020 to 2029 and after 2030 at a certain percentage (%) reduction compared
to 2005 as the base year in which the fulfilment of obligations is monitored. It is also required that 2025
shows a linear reduction in emissions with specific exemptions. New NEC’s Directive was also subject to
obligations proposed in complemented and amended Protocol that were defined to reach in 2010 and in the
subsequent years. It was mentioned in Article 5 by NEC, while the defined emission allocations for the period
up to 2020 have been shown in the teaching table 1-1.
The Republic of Croatia is also a Party of the following protocols to the LRTAP Convention: The Protocol
regarding the joint monitoring and evaluation of the long-range transboundary movement of pollutants in
Table 1-1: Emission ceilings for the period up to 2020 pursuant to Article 5NEC Regulation Pollutant Emission allocation
for 2010 and subsequent years Sulphur dioxide (SO 2) 70 kt nitrogen oxides (NOx) 87 kt non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) 90 kt Ammonia (NH 3) 30 kt

Europe (NN No 12/93), the Protocol relating to the further reduction of sulphur emissions in 1998 (Narodne
Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) — International Treaties, No 05/07 and 3/99), the
Protocol on Persistent Organic Pollutants (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia)
No 05/07), the Protocol on the control of emissions of nitrogen oxides or their transboundary fluxes (NN No
10/07), the Protocol on the control of emissions of volatile organic compounds or their transboundary fluxes
to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (NN No 10/07).
The national emission reduction commitments and air emission ceilings are laid down in the NEC Regulation.
The NEC Regulation provides for certain air pollutants that cause adverse effects of acidification,
eutrophication and photochemical pollution, emission allowances and national reduction commitments for a
given period in the Republic of Croatia and the method of calculation of emissions calculations. The
following EU Directives were transposed by NEC in the legal order of the Republic of Croatia:
- Articles 1 and 4Directive 2001/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October
2001 on national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants (OJ L 309, 27.112001), as
supplemented by Council Directive 2013/17/EU of 13 May 2013 adapting certain directives in the field
of environment, by reason of the accession of the Republic of Croatia (OJ L 158, 10.62013) and
- NEC Directive.
The core objective of the NEC Regulation is to limit anthropogenic emissions of certain air pollutants, to
make progress in achieving levels of air quality that do not give rise to significant negative impacts on and
risks to human health and the environment.

1.2. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAMME
Air pollution is a significant environmental risk in particular in areas exposed to elevated concentrations of
PM 10 and PM 2,5, ozone and other pollutants (NH 3, NMVOC, SO 2 and NO x) in air. The pollutants can be
transported over long distances and may affect air quality, human health and quality of life, as well as their
primary source of release, as well as by far from the primary source of discharge. The contribution to
pollution is therefore very different for individual locations and cities, namely they are the largest contribution
of local sources (those directly to receivers, e.g. street transport), and are the contribution of emissions
generated by the level of the city or region or those resulting from the transfer across national borders.
The improvement of air quality requires a coordinated application of PAM at various levels; international
under conventions and protocols, followed by national programmes and roadmaps, at local level with air
quality action plans as well as with other instruments.
In order to improve air quality and to meet the national air pollutants reduction commitments, it is necessary
to develop a first Air Pollution Control Programme and to submit it to the European Commission by 1 April
2019 and every four years thereafter, and, if appropriate, earlier depending on the need for updates in respect
of the fulfilment of obligations. Compliance shall be monitored in the course of the annual review of the
report on emissions of certain pollutants in the Republic of Croatia which are submitted to the European
Commission for the Protection of the Environment.
The European Commission underlines the importance of the National Air Pollution Control Programme
(hereinafter referred to as NPCP) in the Implementing Decision:
- the main steering instrument in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/2284 and supported by the
Member States to plan national PAM’s required to comply with the national emission reduction
commitments set out in that Directive by 2020 and 2030, shall contribute to the achievement of the air
quality objectives in accordance with Article 1(2) of that Directive, as well as ensuring compliance
with the plans and programmes set out in other relevant policy areas, including climate, energy,
agriculture, industry and transport;
- facilitate medium- and long-term planning, thereby increasing the predictability of stakeholders, while
at the same time supporting the transition of investments towards clean and efficient technologies;
- contribute to the improvement of air quality and the management of air emissions in the Member States
by requesting consultations of competent authorities with responsibilities in the field of air pollution,
quality and management at all levels of the administration prior to the adoption of the programme;
- a contribution should also be made to the successful implementation of air quality plans established in
accordance with Article 23. Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe
(CAFE Directive).To this end, Member States should take into account the need to reduce emissions, in
particular nitrogen oxides and fine particles, in zones and agglomerations affected by the excessive
concentrations of air pollutants and/or in those zones and agglomerations that contribute significantly
to air pollution in other zones and agglomerations, including neighbouring countries.
Member States, as set out in Implementing Decision PENZ and according to the European Commission,
should: “Second Report on the State of the Energy Union3 “, wherever possible, develop its national energy
and climate plans, in parallel with their national air pollution control programmes to ensure synergies and
reduce implementation costs, future plans largely rely on similar measures and actions. To this end, and in
accordance with Annex I of the proposal for a Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union of 30
November 20164, which provides a general framework for integrated national energy and climate plans, the
impact of PAM contained in these plans, on emissions of atmospheric pollutants and on air quality should also
be considered.
The NLF Implementing Decision also highlights the importance of a common format which increases

consistency5 with the EU PAM reporting in the EU climate and energy policy framework. To that end, the
common format is broadly consistent with the relevant reporting obligations under Regulation (EU) No
525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on a mechanism for monitoring and
reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for reporting other information at national and Union level relevant to
climate change at national and Union level, and repealing Decision 280/2004/EC (hereinafter: Regulation
525/2013)6 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 749/2014 of 30 June 2014 on structure,
format, submission processes and review of information reported by Member States pursuant to Regulation
(EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (hereinafter: Commission Implementing
Regulation (EU) No 749/2014).
The EC has drafted its Report on “The First Clean Air Outlook7 ”, a follow-up analysis which presents an
updated outlook on reducing emissions in the period up to 2030, as well as possible further assistance to
Member States in identifying cost-effective additional PAM in order to meet the emission reduction
commitments up to 2020 and 2030. In ‘The First Clean Air Outlook’ stresses that for the majority of
atmospheric pollutants regulated by NEC of the Directive, the EU exists, or is in the process of adopting a law
on the control of air pollution at source, which would significantly support the achievement of national
emission reduction commitments, but ammonia is also an exception on the EU level; Therefore, additional
national PAM had to be required to achieve the reduction of ammonia reduction.National air pollution control
programmes should therefore also include proportionate measures applying to the agricultural sector.
The purpose of the Programme is to enable the following two objectives to be met:
- Fulfilment of the pollutant emission reduction commitments so 2, NO x, NMVOC, PM 2,5 and NH 3
(table 1-2),
- to contribute to progress in the attainment of levels of air quality that do not give rise to significant
negative impacts on, and risks to, human health and the environment (objective, as referred to in
Article 3(1).The text of the Regulation to NEC).
In accordance with Article 19(7) ofThe NEC Regulation as well as Article 6(5).Both NEC of the Directive
and Appendix I of Directive 2003/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003
which ensures the public’s participation with regard to the drawing up of certain plans and programmes
relating to the environment8, the Ministry (MZOIP) will consult the public on a proposal for a Air Pollution
Control Programme and any relevant amendments, prior to the completion of the same and adoption by the
Croatian Government.

2NATIONAL AIR POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR AIR QUALITY AND AIR
POLLUTION
2.1. BRIEFING NOTES ON THE STATE OF PLAY ON THE CURRENT PROGRAMME
The Government of the Republic of Croatia is pursuant to Article 5(2).With Regulation (EU) No on emission
quotas for certain pollutants in the Republic of Croatia (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the
Republic of Croatia) No 141/08), the Emission Reduction Programme for certain pollutants in the Republic
of Croatia for the period up to the end of 2010 and the emission projections for the period 2010-2020 ( NN
No 152/09) have been adopted by the Republic of Croatia (NN No): Programme 2010-2020).The
abovementioned Programme 2010-2020 has been adopted on the basis of the Protocol to the 1979
Convention on Transboundary Air Pollution to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone
(Narodne Novine ( NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 4/08), the Protocol on Heavy Metals
of the Convention on Transboundary Air Pollution in 1979 (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the
Republic of Croatia) No 5/07) and the Regulation on emission quotas for certain pollutants in the Republic
of Croatia stipulating certain air pollutants that cause adverse effects of acidification, eutrophication and
photochemical pollution, their emission allocation for a given period in the Republic of Croatia and the
calculation of annual emission budgets.
There have been a number of improvements to EU legislation since 2009 such as the review of the Protocol
to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone to the 1979 Convention on
Transboundary Air Pollution.The Republic of Croatia became a full member of the EU in 2013, bringing
new international commitments. Consequently, the need for the upgrading of the Programme 2010-2020 was
necessary, as was done.
In 2015, a Programme for the gradual reduction of emissions for certain pollutants in the Republic of
Croatia has been prepared in 2020, with projections of emissions up to 2020, 2025 and 2030, the reference
to 2050 (hereinafter the 2010 + 2050 Agenda), the legal basis for its creation was Article 7.Regulations on
emission quotas for certain air pollutants in the Republic of Croatia.Programme 2010/2020/2050 sets out
the emission projections of the pollutants SO 2, NOx, NH 3, NMVOC, PM 10, PM 2,5 and CH 4 for 2020, 2025,
2030 with a view to the year 2050. Projections were prepared according to EMEP/EEA manual 2013. Activity
levels in 2012 derive from the official national data set for all sectors: Report on the budget for emissions of
pollutants into the air in the Republic of Croatia 2015(1990.2013) (IIR 2015).
The sources of activity data, the baseline parameters and the assumptions for making the projections of
pollutants are identical to those used for the GHG projections. Projections are ready for a scenario of measures
(WM) and for a scenario with additional measures (WAM) according to which two scenarios were considered
and a scenario of the gradual transition to a low-carbon economy (MIP 1) and a scenario of a strong transition
to a low-carbon economy (N2).

2.2. PRIORITY POLICIES AND THEIR RELATION TO PRIORITIES SET IN OTHER
RELEVANT AREAS
This chapter corresponds to Chapter 2.3.‘The national quality and surplus policy framework’, Format of the national air pollution control programmes.
The national emission reduction commitments and air emission ceilings are laid down in the NEC Regulation.
The NEC Regulation provides for national reduction commitments for a given period in Croatia and the
methodology for calculating emissions for certain air pollutants that cause adverse effects of acidification,
eutrophication and photochemical pollution, their emission allocations, i.e. NEC’s core objective of limiting
anthropogenic emissions of certain air pollutants in order to make progress in achieving levels of air quality
that do not give rise to significant negative impacts on and risks to human health and the environment.
NEC Regulation also contributes to further:
- air quality objectives laid down in the positive national regulation regulating levels of air pollutants
and progress towards the EU’s long-term air quality objective, in line with the air quality guidelines
published by the World Health Organisation,
- the EU’s biodiversity and ecosystem objectives in line with the 7th Environmental Action
Programme; and
- strengthening the synergies between the EU’s air quality policies and other relevant EU policies, in
particular climate and energy policies.
Total national emission allocations valid until 2020 listed in Table 1-1 are:

The National Air Protection Policy was set up by the Air Protection, Ozone Layer, and
Climate Change Mitigation in Croatia for the period 2013-2017 (Narodne novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 139/13).
The relevant objectives of the national priority policy related to air quality shall be:
• C1Prevent or progressively reduce air pollution to protect
human health, quality of life and the environment as a whole.
• C2Improving the full air quality management system and
monitoring air quality in Croatia.
For C1 and C2 objectives, a range of measures for monitoring and assessing air quality in the
Republic of Croatia comply with the CAFE Directive requirements (see Chapter 3.2).
Below is a summary of the fulfilment of the obligations of CAFE Directive: - the delimitation of the State has been established between the State in zones and
agglomerations,
- defined locations of measurement positions and monitoring programme in the national
air quality monitoring network (in line with CAFE Directive criteria);
- the annual reports on ambient air quality publish the classification of zones and
agglomerations according to the levels of contamination as regards the protection of
human health and a classification according to contamination levels with regard to
vegetation protection.
Air quality monitoring in Croatia shall be carried out in accordance with Articles 27, 31,
32 and 33. Air Protection Act (NN Nos 130/11, 47/14 and 61/17) (hereinafter: ZZZ) through
the state air quality monitoring network and local networks of cities, counties and the polluter.
In the 2013-2017 period (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia)
Nos), the plan for protecting the air, ozone layer and climate change mitigation in Croatia (NN
No 139/13) proposed the following measures to ensure compliance with EU air quality
monitoring and assessment legislation with air quality objectives:
• MPR-2 Adoption of a new regulation on the designation of zones and agglomerations
according to air pollution levels.
• MPR-3 Adoption of a new regulation on location of locations of measurement stations
in the national air quality monitoring network and a list of monitoring sites’
concentration of pollutant concentrations for mutual exchange of information and
reporting
0 assessment and management of air quality.
• MPR-4 Taking a new programme for the measurement of the level of contamination in
the State network for continuous air quality monitoring.
• MPR-5 Air quality monitoring system at stations from the national grid
1 quality assurance of measurement and data
• MOV-1 Making the register of air pollutant emissions required for the air quality
models for ozone pollution, from which MPR-11 produces a register of pollutant
emissions for small and diffuse sources with a spatial distribution to the EMEP of a high
resolution network.

The 9 above Regulation expired the Regulation on the designation of areas and agglomerations by air quality category (NN No 68/2008),
which was divided into 7 agglomerations and 6 agglomerations (Zagreb, Rijeka, Split, Osijek, Sisak and Kutina).
The Decree on the designation of zones and agglomerations according to air pollution levels in
the Republic of Croatia (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No
1/14) 9 sets out the coverage of zones and 4 agglomerations as shown in the teaching image and
in the tables specifying the designation, the name and the coverage of the zones and
agglomerations:
Following the Air Quality Assessment on the territory of the Republic of Croatia 2006-2010
according to EU Directive 2008/50/EC, the Decree on the designation of zones and
agglomerations according to air pollution levels in the Republic of Croatia (NN No 1/14)
divided into 5 zones and 4 agglomerations for monitoring air quality. Air quality assessment of
the Republic of Croatia should be carried out at least every five years.
An Air Quality Assessment for the territory of Croatia 2011-2015 was prepared in November
2017: (available at:Http: //iszz.azo.hr/iskzl/datoteka?id=74786) stating that there is no proposed
change in the spatial scope of the zones and agglomerations.
By validating the existing zoning separation into zones and agglomerations, the new regulation
on the designation of zones and agglomerations shall be considered to be carried out in MPR-2.

10 of the current Regulation were the Regulation establishing a list of monitoring sites for the concentrations of individual air pollutants and location of measuring stations in the national air quality monitoring network (NN No 22/14) and the accompanying programme to measure the level of air pollution in the national air quality monitoring network (NN No 103/14; 117/14).
Under the Air Quality Assessment for the period 2006— 2010(DHZ, 2012) was adopted a
regulation on the designation of zones and agglomerations according to air pollution levels in
Croatia with the classification of zones and agglomerations in terms of the levels of
contamination for each pollutant relative to the upper and lower assessment thresholds/long-
term objective with regard to the protection of human health and vegetation protection.
The meaning of abbreviations used in the tables is as follows:
- DPP — lower threshold leaked;
- GPP — upper assessment threshold,
- DC — long-term goal for ground-level ozone
- GV — Limit value
Measurements are mandatory for the evaluation of contamination in zones where levels of
pollution are larger than the upper assessment threshold (> GPP).In areas where pollution levels
are between the upper and lower assessment thresholds (< GPP and > GMP) the measurement
data may be supplemented by modelling data or indicative measurements. In areas where
pollution level < DPP levels are used an objective estimation technique may also be used.
Location and measurement programme in the national air quality monitoring network
The sites and the programme for measurement in the national air quality monitoring network are
laid down in the Regulation establishing a list of monitoring sites for the concentrations of
individual air pollutants and the location of measuring stations in the national network for
continuously monitoring air quality (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of
Croatia) No 65/16) and the Programme for the measurement of air pollution on the State
network for continuous air quality monitoring (NN No 73/16) (10).
In the modernisation process, the State network and in some zones 2013.— 2017. the
scale of the measurements extended would be in order to reach the scope required by
the Regulation.

PPI — Average exposure indicator compound PM 2, s
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
23
The average exposure indicator, expressed in pg m — 3 is based on measurements from the urban
background locations in zones and agglomerations in the territory of the country, and used to
check whether the target for a reduction of exposures at national level has been achieved. It
should be estimated as the average of the mean values of the annual concentrations in three
consecutive years at all sampling points determined according to the specific regulation. The
AEI for the reference year 2015 is equal to the median concentrations for 2013, 2014 and 2015
and is 20.6 pg m — 3 and higher than the required exposure level for 2015, which is 20 pg m — 3.
Zones and agglomerations
The evaluation of air quality 2011-2015 proposed to maintain the spatial distribution of zones
and agglomerations in accordance with the Regulation on the designation of zones and
agglomerations according to air pollution levels in the Republic of Croatia, since conditions for
air quality demarcation have not changed.
Minimum number of measurement points for continuous air quality monitoring
One of the criteria for deciding whether to extend the grid to be extended is also an analysis of
the level of contamination in relation to the thresholds for the assessment. A summary of
analysis of contamination levels compared to the thresholds for 2011-2015 is shown for the
pollutants in the tables below.
Evaluation of the level of contamination in relation to human health assessment thresholds for
the period from 2011-2015 at the national monitoring network for permanent monitoring of air

Evaluation of pollution level in accordance with the assessment thresholds for human health in
the period from 2011-2015 at the measurement points on national permanent air quality
monitoring sites and agglomerations in terms of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, nickel and
polycyclic hydrocarbons in ambient air.
Assessment of the level of contamination by critical levels for vegetation during the period
from 2011 in 2015 at the measuring points in the national permanent air quality monitoring
network according to the applicable zones. The critical levels for vegetation shall not apply to
the areas of agglomeration (in the zones without measuring the results of the model).
The assessment identified the need to increase the measurement volumes in the national air
quality monitoring network.
In HR 01 there is no single measurement point for PM 2,5 and one PM 10 seat because the upper
assessment limit (GGP) has been exceeded. While this non-compliance appeared only in 2015,
the number of measuring sites must be increased to meet the criteria of Annex V to Directive
2008/50/EC.Here, it should be noted that in this zone for the period 2006: In 2010, the GGP
was not exceeded and it appeared as a new commitment for the period 2016.— 2020.
In an agglomeration, HR OS is also lacking a single measuring point (urban background
station) that will be in place during the period 2018.— 2021, through the State network
modernisation project.
The GGP for benzene has been exceeded in the agglomeration HR ZG, which follows that there
is a need to establish two additional locations for the measurement of benzene in the subsequent
period 2016.— 2020, which will be ensured through the modernisation of the State network.
According to the results of the ozone residue measurement, the criterion of the number of
measuring points is not met. Although there are measurements at the urban background station
in Velika Gorica and at the urban background station in Zagreb 03, the measurement data has
not been satisfactory, so that this problem has to be solved in order to avoid non-compliance.
According to the Regulation on the number of posts, the formal criterion is met (2 units of
measurement) but only one station meets the criterion in question on the coverage criterion. In
addition, the HR ZG is planned to develop another urban background station in 2018.— 2020,
so that this zone is expected to be non-compliant with respect to ground-level ozone in the
future. Furthermore, in the HR zone ZG there is a non-compliance with both benzo (a) pyrene

The table gives the presentation of a minimum number of monitoring points for the individual
pollutants required to be set in accordance with the new Assessment of Air Quality:
A measuring point for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the Republic of
Croatia has until now not yet been established but is planned in the framework of the
modernisation of the State network (2018.2021).
With regard to the implementation of the MPR-3 measures and the adoption of a new regulation
on the location of measurement points across the national air quality network for continuous
monitoring of air quality and a list of monitoring sites for the concentration of pollutants for
mutual information exchange and reporting on air quality assessment and management, and
MPR-4 and the adoption of a new programme for the measurement of pollution levels in air
quality monitoring and management and in MPR- and MPR- MPR-2017 monitoring of air
quality monitoring system, as well as MPR-5 measures, the new Regulation and the Programme
were adopted as a precondition for grants from structural phonograms for the implementation of
the project ‘Improving and modernising the state air quality upgrade network — AIRQ’.
In connection with the implementation of the MPR-1 measure, Making the register of air
pollutant emissions required by MPR-11 for the ozone pollution assessment set out below for
MPR- and the creation of a register of pollutant emissions for small and diffuse sources with
spatial distribution to the EP’s high-resolution network, a complete register of pollutant
emissions for small and diffuse sources with a spatial distribution is drawn up in the EP’s high-
resolution network (chapter 6. On a Preventive Action Plan — MPR-11).
The results of the implementation of the action can be found at:Https: //emep.haop.hr/.Results
shall provide a spatial representation of pollutant emissions in the territory of the Republic of
Croatia for the zones in resolution 0,1°x0,1° (long haul) and for agglomerations in resolution
500 m x 500 m (long-lat).The implementation of this measure shall provide for detailed
emission data for air quality modelling on the High Resolution scale.
In the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, Croatia accepted an individual emission
reduction commitment of 5 % and fulfilled its commitment. For the second commitment period,
from 2013 to 2020, the Republic of Croatia accepted a 20 % emission reduction commitment
compared to 1990 levels, but as a joint commitment to reduce the EU under the Doha
amendment [1].
The Republic of Croatia may, according to the allocation of commitments for emission
reductions within the EU, as defined in Decision 406/2009/EC on effort-sharing (hereinafter the
ESD), increase their emissions by 2020 in the ESD sectors by 11 % compared to 2005.

The mitigation of climate change is achieved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the
implementation of the Republic of Croatia’s low-carbon development strategy, planning
documents, the gradual limitation of allowances to operators trading in emission units,
measures in all sectors of emissions sources, using the Kyoto Protocol flexibility mechanisms
and other actions contributing to climate change mitigation (Article 74Air Protection
Act).Adaptation to climate change shall be done by implementing adaptation measures in
sectors exposed to the impact of climate change. The objectives and priorities for implementing
climate change adaptation measures are proposed by the Draft Climate Change Adaptation
Strategy with an Action Plan.
Within the framework of climate change policy, they have been developed:
- Draft low-carbon development strategy for Croatia, preparing for a period up to 2030,
with a view to 2050, the White Paper, May 2017.(MZOIP),
- Draft Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change in the Republic of Croatia until 2040,
with an outlook to 2070, the White Paper, September 2017.(MZOIP).
For these draft strategies, a public consultation was carried out including a strategic
environmental assessment and an ecological network.
The objectives proposed in the draft Low Carbon Development Strategy are as follows:
- achieving sustainable knowledge based development and a competitive low-carbon and
resource-efficient economy. Boosting employment in the growing economic sectors and
the “green” economy, fostering regional and rural development, fostering innovation
and technological development, boosting education, lifelong learning and specialisation
in low-carbon economy, contributing to social inclusion;
- increasing the security of energy supply, sustainability of energy supply, increasing
energy availability and reducing energy dependence;
- solidarity, through Croatia’s obligations under international agreements under EU
policy, as part of our historical responsibility and contributing to the global goals;
- reduction of air pollution and impact on health.
The objectives proposed in the Blueprint of the Adaptation Strategy are as follows:
- reducing the vulnerability of social and natural systems to the adverse impacts of
climate change or enhancing their resilience and recovery capacity from these impacts
(long-term objective);
- bring together all relevant institutional, political, economic and social stakeholders with
the aim of creating enough strong support for the implementation of joint actions on the
realisation of adaptation measures;
- the integration of the adaptation process, including the implementation of measures, in
existing and new policies, programmes, plans and other activities carried out at all
management levels;
- to raise awareness of the importance of climate change and the indispensable launch of
adaptation processes in all social segments, both of which are the main beneficiaries of
the positive effects of the adaptation process.
The Plan for protecting the air, ozone layer and climate change mitigation in Croatia for the
period 2013-2017 set out the general objective of national policy on climate change: C4Reduce
and limit greenhouse gas emissions and substances that deplete the ozone layer, and to maintain
excellent greenhouse gas emissions.
The Energy Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia (Narodne Novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 130/09) sets targets for renewable energy sources and
energy efficiency. The operational implementation of the targets shall be established through
the action plans for the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency reported by the
European Commission.
The indicative target for limiting the total energy consumption in the Republic of Croatia is
11,15 Mtoe, 7,0 Mtoe for direct energy consumption. For 2030, at EU level a reduction of
emissions by at least 40 % compared to 1990 is at EU level. This will be done by reducing the
emissions in the ETS by 43 % compared to 2005 and in the non-ETS sectors by 30 % compared
to 2005. For the Republic of Croatia, the reduction in emissions in the ESD sectors is -7 %
compared to 2005.

Relevant agricultural policy objectives
Croatia’s rural development programme for the period from 20142020 is the basic document
for implementing the rural development policy and contains all rural development support
programmes and measures and defines the relevant agricultural policy objectives. Another valid
document aligned with national objectives is the EU’s National Action Plan on Achieving
Sustainable Use of Pesticides in 2013.— 2023
The rural development programme defines 18 measures with the aim of increasing the
competitiveness of Croatia’s agriculture and improving living and working conditions in rural
areas. The measures were further divided into sub-measures and sub-measures targeting operations
aimed at achieving well-defined objectives.
The overriding general objectives of operations of the Rural Development Programme are relevant
to the question of air pollution control and indirect impact on the reduction of pollutant emissions
generated by agricultural practices can be summarised as follows: • Consultancy and vocational training for cross-compliance, package of measures agriculture,
environment and climate change, organic farming. • Restructuring, modernising and increasing the competitiveness of agricultural holdings through the
focus on investment in organic primary agriculture and the processing of agricultural products
(e.g. investment in the purchase of new agricultural machinery and equipment and commercial
vehicles, investment in the construction and/or fitting-out of animal facilities, closed/protected
spaces, annual and perennial buildings, seed and planting stock, storage and packaging of
products. • Disposal, handling and use of manure in order to minimise the harmful impact on the environment
(e.g. by constructing storage capacity for manure and digestate including equipment for handling
and use of manure and digestate, and investments to improve the efficiency of the use of fertilisers
(machinery and equipment for loading, transporting and applying fertilisers). • Use of renewable energy sources (investments in building construction and/or equipment,
installations for the reception, processing and storage of raw materials, for the treatment,
processing, storage, transport and administration of organic fertilisation features. • Non-productive investments related to the conservation of the environment (e.g. control of soil
erosion (investment in the construction of terraces, increase of rubble walls and hedges), the
construction of new and renovation of existing livestock housing, investment in the construction
and/or fitting-out of new irrigation houses on the farm, and the improvement of existing
agricultural irrigation systems/equipment, and payments linked to agriculture, the environment and
climate change (e.g. tillage and drilling on the slope of a perennial field, crop rotation, the
establishment of field lanes). • Encouraging organic farming through payments for maintaining organic farming practices
and methods. • Support for pilot projects and for the development of new products, processes, processes and
technologies.
The programme singled out activities which, through its application, also have emissions into the
air: • Quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs • Investments in physical assets • Restoring agricultural production potential damaged by natural disasters and catastrophic events
and introduction of appropriate prevention actions • Farm and business development • Basic services and village renewal in rural areas • Investments in forest area development and improvement of viability of forests • Setting up of producer groups and organisations • Agri-environment climate • Organic farming • Payments to areas facing natural or other specific constraints • Cooperation • Risk management • Support for local development under the Leader initiative (CLLD — community-led local
development)

Relevant industrial policy objectives
The relevant industrial policy objectives were integrated in the Industrial Strategy of the
Republic of Croatia for the period starting in 2014.— 2020The industrial strategy is any form of
intervention or state policy aimed at improving the business environment, i.e. a change in the
structure of economic activity towards sectors, technologies or tasks, which are expected to
contribute to economic growth or social well-being, but what would be the case if the
intervention would be left out. The strategy has singled out general and other objectives which,
through its application, would have an impact on emissions to air.
General objectives:
• Increase the share of skilled labour in total industrial employment in order to increase
domestic industry productivity
• Increase investment in research and development which is widely recognised so as to
contribute to innovation;
• Increase fixed capital formation to monitor new recruitments and increase capital
equipment and depreciation on existing investments
Other objectives:
• Average annual growth of 2.85 % in the volume of industrial production;
• An additional 85.619 newly recruited employees by the end of 2020, of which at least 30 %
with higher education;
• A 68.9 % labour productivity growth over the period 2014.— 2020
• Increase of exports in the period 2014— 2020 for 30 % and change in the structure of
exports in favour of exports of high value added products
In the Industrial Strategy, the general and other objectives have not directly been set by
environmental targets. The lack of environmental objectives is due to the unavailability of the
environmental management strategy, although it is considered that they will have an impact on
the development of the industry. Indirectly, it is stated that industrial policy departs from the
importance of interactivity between a modern high-tech industry and a growing service sector,
industry and the environment. The legislation developed by Western countries requires industry
to meet high environmental and human health standards in production processes. Such legal
regulation in developed countries imposed additional pressure on industry’s profitability.
Relevant transport policy objectives
The relevant transport policy objectives were presented in the Transport Strategy of the Republic
of Croatia (2017).— 2030).The development of transport infrastructure in Croatia is considered
extremely important for economic and social growth and for international connectivity.
Transport infrastructure is a regional development instrument driven by the exchange of goods
and better accessibility to all economic, health, tourism and other content. When drawing up the
general and specific objectives, the Strategy took account of the already published European
strategies and environmental and climate protection requirements.
The general objectives which, through its implementation, will have a direct and indirect impact
on the air’s emissions and quality are:
• Change the distribution of passenger traffic in favour of public transport (JP) and the forms
of zero emission transport.
• Change the distribution of freight traffic in support of rail and maritime transport and inland
waterway transport.
• Develop the transport system (management, organisation and development of infrastructure
and maintenance) in accordance with the principle of economic viability
• Reducing the impact of the transport system on climate change
• Reducing the impact of the transport system on the environment (environmental
sustainability);
• Improve the safety of the transport system;
• Improve the interoperability of transport systems (rail, rail, road, sea, air and inland
waterway transport);
• Improve the integration of transport modes in Croatia (governance, ITS, VTMIS, P & R,
etc.)
• Further develop the Croatian part of the TEN-T network (basic and comprehensive).
In addition to the general objectives, specific objectives are defined for specific transport sectors:
- Improve rail freight corridors in the Port of Rijeka to the markets with the highest potential
for the port (Hungary, BiH, Slovakia, Italy, Poland, Serbia)
- Make better use of the Croatian rail system in larger Croatian agglomerations (Zagreb,
Rijeka, Split, Varaždin, Osijek), and within and between functional regions (subregions)
- Improve the level of the railway fleet service and its environmental impact
- To better integrate the rail system into local traffic systems (safety and safety on stations,
connections with other modes of transport, etc.)
- Increase safety at level crossings
- Increase efficiency of the Croatian rail system (traffic management, business, etc.)
- Ensure infrastructure maintenance taking into account aspects of economy.
• Road transport
- Improve road safety
- Better use of the Croatian road system in the context of public transport (buses, local,
regional and national)
- Reduce the environmental impact of the oldest shares of the Croatian network of
motorways
- Optimise and coordinate the different road toll systems in Croatia
- To improve technical requirements in road design with a focus on more cost-effective
technical solutions, safety standards, green mobility and integration of zero-emission
modes of transport
- To increase the road accessibility of areas where the existing infrastructure has reached a
cap of permeability, and alternative modes of transport (public and rail) are not
economically justified (tourist centres in Adriatic Croatia), including the introduction of a
sustainable transport concept in favour of public transport and forms of zero emission
transport.
- Increase links with neighbouring countries to lift cooperation and territorial integration at a
higher level
- Increase the accessibility of the area in Croatia where there is no alternative road
infrastructure (parallel motorways, etc.) to reach the ceiling — from the Zagreb in the
direction of Bjelovar and from Varaždin to the direction of Koprivnica and Krapina.
- Reduce congestion in highly loaded agglomerations by taking into account
specific rules applicable to the protection of national heritage. _____________________
• Aviation
- Support the development of ‘Franjo Tuđman’ airport in order to preserve the availability
of the capital of Croatia from abroad
- To improve the operation and reliability of the work of the Dubrovnik airport in order to
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
30
preserve the availability of South Dalmatia
- Improve the accessibility of airports, in particular public transport;
- Improve the standard of safety in airports and aviation
- Bring into line with entry requirements in the Schengen Area where it is applicable;
• Maritime transport
- Boost the development and competitiveness of the Port of Rijeka port as a main Croatian
port
- Reduce the environmental impact of maritime transport (fleet development,
environmental protection and measures to prevent and combat pollution from maritime
structures);
- Increase the distribution of freight transport in the overseas Adriatic and coastal routes
for the benefit of maritime transport;
- Increase the reliability of maritime transport (public transport and supply chains) in
aggravating weather conditions;
- Improving the efficiency and economy of the maritime transport system
- Improve the safety of maritime transport
- Improve the integration of ports into the local transport (passenger and freight) system;
The strategy stipulates that all infrastructure projects, resulting from measures, should be
planned taking into account the potential climate phenomena of the action.
Relevant targets of waste policy
The primary objectives of waste management of the Republic of Croatia stem from the
assessment of the state of waste management and the obligations stemming from EU legislation
and regulation, which have been transposed into national legislation.
The implementation and establishment of an integrated waste management system in Croatia
was made possible using and meeting the targets defined in the Sustainable Waste Management
Act (NN Nos 94/13 and 73/17) and the Waste management plan of the Republic of Croatia for
2017.— 2022 (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 3/17).
The Law on Sustainable Waste Management is the main law governing waste management in
Croatia. There are a series of regulations that have been adopted in accordance with the Law,
some of them regulate certain waste management activities and some regulate the management
of specific waste categories.
Based on an assessment of the existing waste management situation and obligations that Croatia
has to achieve according to the EU and national legislation, the Waste management plan defines
the objectives to be achieved by 2022, as compared to 2015:
1. Improve municipal waste management system
- Reduce the total amount of municipal waste generated by 5 %;
- Separately collect 60 % of the weight of municipal waste generated (primarily paper,
glass, plastics, metals, bio-waste, etc.);
- Separately collect 40 % of the mass of bio-waste produced which is an integral part of
municipal waste;
- Disposed of less than 25 % of the weight of municipal waste generated
2. Improve the management system for specific waste categories
- Collected separately for 75 % of the mass of construction waste generated
- Set up a waste sludge management system from sewage treatment plants
- Improve the system for packaging waste management
- Set up a marine litter management system
- To set up a waste ship management system, oths and streams of sinking material on the
seabed;
- Improve the management system for other specific categories of waste
3. Improve hazardous waste management system
4. Remediation of contaminated sites
5. Carry out training activities continuously,
6. Improve information systems for waste management
7. Improve the control of waste management;
8. Improve administrative procedures for waste management __________________________

The 2018 Waste Package (“Waste Package” introduces changes to EU waste legislation through
the introduction of more ambitious targets for Member States, in order to promote the transition
towards a circular economy.
The amendments to the Directives included in the Waste Package aim to level the level
of best practices across the Member States and to stimulate the necessary investments in waste
management and to facilitate the circular economy from production to consumption, repair and
remanufacturing, waste management and beneficial raw materials returns. As the circular economy
stimulates the use of production processes that consume less materials and energy, utilise waste
resources without waste and include full recycling at end-of-life, this indirectly affects emissions
and air quality — a sustainable, competitive low greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions
economy is being developed, contributing to the reduction of environmental degradation and
resource consumption and of the destruction of biodiversity.
New EU rules entered into force on 4 July 2018 with legally binding targets for recycling
waste and reducing landfilling with fixed deadlines for Member States to make adaptation of
national legislation for the transition to a circular economy over the next two years. Croatia is
obliged to transpose the Waste Directive into its legislation by 5 July 2020.
Some other national
policy objectives and
priorities relevant to
NPCP: Programme of the Government of the Republic of Croatia until 2020
As an important current document, which sets out its development policy by 2020, the Croatian
Government’s programme for mandate 2016 can be highlighted.— 2020 • The fundamental objectives are:
on achieving stable and lasting economic growth; on the creation of new and quality jobs;
the stopping point and the demographic renewal; on social fairness and solidarity. • In the fields of Ecology, Sustainable Development and the Environment, the following
specific objectives are highlighted: on the protection of Croatian natural resources; on the integrated water management and the protection of national water resources; to
adapt to climatic conditions; on effective waste management. • In the field of energy, energy development strategies are in the process of design, with specific
objectives being: on improving the security of oil supply in Croatia and the EU; on improving security of gas
supply in Croatia and the EU. • In the area of demographic development, population policies and the revitalisation of
Europe, the objectives are as follows: on the promotion of an increase in the birth rate, while ensuring a minimum and increasing
standard of living; on the housing suffered by the family and the infant’s infancy.
National development strategy
• The Law on the Strategic Planning and Management System of Croatia (Narodne Novine (NN;
official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 123/17) was adopted in 2017. This Act governs the
country’s strategic planning system and management of public policies or the preparation,
elaboration, implementation, reporting, monitoring of implementation and impact, and validation
of strategic planning documents for the design and implementation of public policies, which are
drawn up, adopted and implemented by public authorities in accordance with their respective
competences. National development strategy is the hierarchy of the highest document. They are
followed by multi-sectoral and sectorial strategies, followed by plans. • Croatia’s strategic development is currently based on a number of sectoral and sectoral strategies,
plans and programmes, and the first Croatian National Development Strategy is being drawn up
until 2030. The plan is to adopt it by 2020.
Energy strategy
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
32
• The current Energy Strategy for Croatia (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the
Republic of Croatia) No 130/09) has set three basic energy objectives:
security of energy supply; on the
competitiveness of the energy
system;sustainability of energy
development.
• Given the changes in a number of internal and external factors since the adoption of the
Strategy in 2009, the need to develop a new strategy was identified. The new Strategy
is being developed and is expected to be adopted in 2019.
Environmental plan
• The Environment Plan of the Republic of Croatia for the period 2016-2023 is being
drawn up. The plan has not yet been adopted and the draft plan (MZOIP 2016)
identified the following priorities:
• The protection, preservation and enhancement of the value of natural resources and the
environment;
• IIPromotion of sustainable production and consumption;
• III.Protecting citizens from environment-related pressures and risks to health and well-
being;
• IVStrengthening the institutional and legislative framework;
• Improving links between knowledge, information management systems and environmental
policies;
• VIDevelopment of economic instruments and financing;
• VIITo improve the sustainability of cities;
• VIIIPromoting sustainable development at European and international level, following
the Sustainable Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia (NN No 30/09).
2.2.1. COHERENCE OF INVENTORIES AND PROJECTIONS
Air pollution control programme pursuant to Article 19(2)NEC Regulation must be coherent with other
relevant plans and programmes established following requirements set out in Croatian legislation or EU
legislation. As national emission inventories and emission projections are a database, i.e. the sources of data
developing plans and programmes, they are necessary to ensure that they are coherent, i.e. that pollutant
emissions and greenhouse gas emission inventory are coherent and with projections, and that projections of
pollutants are coherent with the projections of greenhouse gases. The coherence of this type is ensured by the
following:
• equivalent data sources and data on activity data (e.g. use of the same energy models, information on
agricultural productivity, population movements, GDP, number of households, etc.), and
• the homogeneous assumptions were made in the PAM already adopted and consistent across all policy
areas.
In addition, coherence shall be ensured by implementing the reporting on inventory of pollutant emissions,
projections and on ambient air in accordance with established templates, formats and guidelines in order to
maximise consistency in reporting between Member States. The air pollution control programme should be
consistent with reporting to other obligations, including:
• inventory of pollutant emissions and projections reported annually by Member States per 4 years of
UNECE according to CLRTAP, • annual notification to the Commission by E-PRTR;
• reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and projections (dvo) annually to the Commission and the
UNFCCC under the Kyoto Protocol and the RDN;
• information air on ambient air quality spreading over eReporting in accordance with the IPR
Implementing Decision.
Coherence of data sources and data on activities in inventories and projections
Data on the activities needed to calculate the pollutant emissions are collected from the Information System of
the Republic of Croatia, official annual publications, and databases of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics and
relevant ministries and institutions. For certain sub-sectors and categories of source, more detailed
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
33
information is sought on activities and those available in official publications (e.g. energy balance, split of
road vehicles by category, etc.).For pollutant and inventory emissions inventories are mainly the same sets of
data sets. This shall be checked during the annual detailed inventory surveys carried out according to NEC of
the Directive and a reconciliation is carried out for the following annual submission. The first such detailed
technical inspection pursuant to NEC of the Directive was carried out in 2017 for emission inventories with
the last historical year (2015).Earlier adjustments were carried out according to the report of the 3 rd phase of
the CC coordinated examination of the Centre for Emissions Centres, the Centres for Emission inventories
and projections (‘ERA’), which acts as the audit secretariat in accordance with the UN/ECE LRDA
Convention and the EU NEC Directive. The Republic of Croatia has undergone two such centralised
inspections in 2011 and 2014.
Projections, which form an integral part of this Programme, have been made on the basis of
EMEP/EEA guidelines under the LRTAP Convention, and according to the latest available annual
inventory for 2016. The emissions and activity data were derived from the latest historical inventory
submission to the European Commission and to the February 2018 Secretariat of the LRTAP
Convention. This meets the condition that the estimates should be consistent with the last notified
inventory.
The development of the projections has taken on three main steps:
• First step: determination of the key emission sources of each pollutant and the shares of the
respective pollutant in the total emission of the pollutant,
• Second step: inclusion of activity data from available development plans;
• Third step: where no development plans were available, a presumption of future activity data was
taken. This has been developed over observed pollutants and critical sectors.
The methodology used for emission projections is identical to the emissions budget methodology. The
emission result from the product information product of the activity (e.g. fuel consumption, production
statistics, number of animals, waste treated, etc.) and the related emission factor.
In order to enable integrated modelling involving the possibility to assess at a simultaneous stage the
important impact of low-carbon development scenarios of the Republic of Croatia and of the pollutant
emission reduction measures, a number of simulation and optimisation models have been applied and an
integral model called NSPCRO (Low Carbon Strategic Planning of Croatia) has been developed. As a basis
for the creation of an integrated model the NUSPCRO used a software tool of the LEAP tool, an integrated
modelling tool used to analyse energy policy and an assessment of climate change mitigation measures,
energy consumption modelling, energy transformation and resource extraction. It has also been used for
accounting for energy and non-energy emissions in all sectors of the economy.
The scenarios shall be developed on the basis of a high number of input data, as well as an impact calculation
methodology. The effects of the economy, PAM, technology and the change in population behaviour are
modelled. Depending on the objectives to be analysed, results in specific scenarios can be an indication of the
need to simulate additional measures in order to achieve emission reduction targets or to test an optimal
combination of emission reduction measures. The additional examinations shall be subjected to sensitivity to
impact on employment, which can then be evaluated on a monetary basis in order to obtain an integrated cost-
benefit analysis. Consistent relations and the methodologies used provide for consistent comparability of the
scenario as such assessment of the limit effects of the individual PAM.
The MIP is a model other than the need to draw up the projections of this Programme (or to be used) when
preparing the following documents:
- A report on the greenhouse gas projections of the Republic of Croatia,
- Implementation report on PAM for reducing emissions and an increase in the Republic of Croatia’s
greenhouse gas emissions;
- Draft low-carbon development strategy of the Republic of Croatia.
MZOIP Air pollution control programme

Coherence of air pollutant emission projections into the air with other obligations
A national inventory is generated on an annual basis and projections for pollutant emissions, even though they
are reported on an annual basis, are drawn up every two years. The compilation of the projections shall take
into account data from the last available inventory which is in this case for the 2016 inventory and thus
calculate fully consistent emissions from the last reported inventory.
The projections are in line with the GHG projections report prepared according to the Regulation on
monitoring greenhouse gas emissions, PAM AM to their reduction in the Republic of Croatia. Activity
data, assumptions and input parameters shall be fully consistent with the last reported greenhouse gas
projections report9.
When comparing the pollutant emission projections with the Republic of Croatia’s greenhouse gas projections
it can be said to be fully coherent. The Republic of Croatia reports on greenhouse gas emissions and
projections in the EU, UNFCCC and pollutant emissions and projections into the EU and CLRTAP.The latest
published report on GHG emission projections in the Republic of Croatia as well as on the Implementation of
PAM was published in March 2017. Those reports have also been used as a basis for the generation of
projections of pollutant emissions. All the data on activities required to produce projections of pollutant
emissions are therefore based on the same baseline and parameters as for the calculation of emissions of
greenhouse gases.
The document’s document to draw up a low-carbon development strategy for Croatia for the period until
2030, with a view to 2050, defined two greenhouse gas projection scenarios, used also to produce projections
of pollutants. It is important to note that the design of scenarios has taken into account the importance of
technologies and measures for reducing pollutant emissions. Chapter 4 describes the scenario for reaching the
targets in detail.
Existing PAM measures to reduce or limit emissions are set out in Chapter 4 and Annex 1 of the Programme.
All the information in chapters 4 and 5 has been taken from the Paper on the Development of the Low Carbon
Strategy for Croatia for the period up to 2030 with a view to 2050, the Green Paper.
Coherence with annual notification to the Commission under the E-PRTR Regulation
Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a
European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, amending Council Directive 91/689/EEC and 96/61/EC
(hereinafter the E-PRTR Regulation) entered into force on 18 January10 2006, and is implemented by the
Rules on the Environmental Pollution Register (NN No 87/15) (hereinafter the Ordinance).
Article 5The operators of installations carrying out one or more of the sites listed in Appendix I of the E-
PRTR Regulation, the operators of installations carrying out one or more of the sites listed in Appendix I of
the E-PRTR shall be required to supply information on releases and transfers of pollutants into the air, soil
and sewage if the applicable capacity threshold (s) is exceeded, and the pollutant release and/or transmission
threshold (s) of a table of Appendix II to that Regulation, namely, information about the occurrence of 2
tonnes of hazardous waste, or 2.000 tonnes of non-hazardous waste per year.
The E-PRTR Regulation is a key instrument in fulfilling the requirements of the Aarhus Convention,11 as it
gives the public an opportunity to engage in further developing the register and to prepare amendments.
Obliged entities to provide data in the ROO pursuant to the ROO Regulation shall check whether they are also
the data subject according to the E-PRTR Regulation.

matters, the signatory of Croatia in 1998 and ratification in December 2006
Yet, there is a little programme for protecting the air, the ozone layer, climate change mitigation and
climate change adaptation which are required to carry out assessment procedures for strategic
assessments, since they rarely lead to measures on their condition.
The analysis has shown that coherence with the Air Protection Programmes, the ozone layer, climate
change mitigation and climate change adaptation is not fully achieved.
Indeed, the quality of these action plans is currently lagging behind the quality of national plans. The
main shortcoming of the most developed programme are the poor analysis of pollutant emissions, all
emission sources existing within the local community, as well as indicative emission connections and
concentrations of air quality parameters. Currently, most of the programme’s emission programmes
appear to show emissions from the Register of Environmental Pollution, which is not enough to have a
holistic picture of emissions in the area under consideration. Since 2018, the country has ensured
spatial distribution of emissions through the Portal for the whole Croatian territory, 5 (HR 1, HR 2,
HR 3, HR 4 and HR 5) and 4 agglomerations (HR ZG, HR OS, HR RI and HR ST) and the town of
Slavonski Brod, according to the Regulation on the designation of zones and agglomerations according
to air pollution levels in Croatia. The proposal is to improve the quality of future air protection
programmes, the ozone layer, climate change mitigation and adaptation to climate change by including
a section that ensures coherence with the pollution control programme, i.e. that they contain an
overview of all the emissions that exist in the area in question and which are made available through
the Emissions Allocation Portal for 2014 and 2015, and that will make it possible to carry out an expert
analysis of the link of emission sources, emission values and concentrations of pollution in the air. As
the firm community has the competence to draw up the Programme, it should also ensure oversight
over the implementation of the measures.

Coherence with sustainable urban energy (and climate) urban development plans by 2020.
sustainable Energy (and Climate) Action Plan — SECAP
In addition to the plans and programmes under law, there are plans in Croatia that are drafted voluntarily, so
that local authorities are in favour of meeting the objectives of the EU on climate change and energy. One of
these plans is the Action Plan for Sustainable Energy (and Climate) Development by 2020, produced by cities
after the signature of the Covenant of Mayors. In this way, cities are on a voluntary basis to meet their energy
efficiency targets and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy initiative launched in 2008 by the EC,
Energy and Climate Sustainable Development Action Plans (SECAPs) were organised in Croatia by 62 cities
out of a total of 70 cities which are signatories to the Agreement. Plans submitted and already approved or
currently approved by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission are currently being evaluated.
The 2020 emission reduction targets were reported by signatories to the agreement by 2015, in line with the
EU climate and energy package by 2020. Thereafter the emissions reduction target for the period up to 2030
is, as the 2030 climate and energy framework has in the meantime been adopted. In parallel, the signatories of
the agreement may extend their commitments to climate change adaptation in line with the EU Strategy on
Adaptation to Climate Change.
The maximum plan number was submitted for the period 2012-2015. So far 56 Action Plans have been
adopted. The measures contained in the Action Plans only address the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions, whereas there are currently no measures to adapt to climate change. As a reference year in
respect of which the target for emission reductions has been defined, 2009 or 2010 years are generally
chosen.
The examples of measures defined by cities in the Action Plans are: Reconstruction of external envelopes of
buildings and roofing of residential buildings and family houses, thermal insulation of external envelopes and
roofs, replacement of obsolete public lighting and more environmentally friendly lighting, the installation of
district heating plants, the modernisation of local self-government facilities, the modernisation of local self-
government facilities, the promotion of the use of renewable sources in family homes, the modernisation of
student owners of buildings, the provision of new electric vehicles owned by the city, the construction of low-
power nursery facilities, the reduction of utility contributions for the construction of new, low energy and
passive buildings, energy audits and the certification of public buildings, the installation of a centralised heat
system, the provision of heat switching to natural gas, support for the replacement of builders’ joinery and
carpentry of family houses, installation of solar solar systems for family houses and residential buildings,
municipal administrations and urban buildings.
Progress in achieving the objectives set is assessed on the basis of a Monitoring Report submitted to the EC’s
Joint Research Centre every two years after the adoption of the Action Plan. The emission inventory
contained in the action plan is updated every four years.Up to the conclusion of this Programme, the
Monitoring Report has been submitted by 15 cities in Croatia. According to the information provided
in the monitoring reports submitted, it can be concluded that there have been solid progress in the
implementation of the actions contained in the Action Plans, noting that some cities have not yet started
actions in some cities.As all but one city showed a target to reduce emissions by 2020 (one was in favour by

2030), activity in favour of achieving the measures envisaged should be stepped up in the remaining period.
Given that other signatories to the agreement did not submit their monitoring reports yet, no progress has
been made on the remaining cities and so the sample from which conclusions have been drawn is limited.
With regard to the financial resources to implement the actions planned in the Action Plan, the data in
the monitoring reports show that cities spend on average just over 25 % of the total planned resources,
so it can be assumed that no greater displacement in the insurance fund will be achieved by 2020.
Assuming that the action plans provide for realistic estimates of the resources needed for the
implementation of measures to reduce emissions, this fact could mean that the targets will not be fully
met.The voluntary nature of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy initiative should be taken into
account.
As regards the coherence of the Programme with the outlined plans, specificity is that measures to
reduce emissions in the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy are defined at
local level and are departing from local urban targets, while the majority of the other plans and
programmes for which coherence is needed are adopted at national level.
In the subsequent period 2020-2030, the implementation of the action plans on air pollution and climate
energy plans (SEAP/SECAP) needs to be further integrated. The capacity of local administrations to connect
a number of sectors should be strengthened, in terms of supporting the development of integral development
documents and projects. There is a need for education, dissemination of knowledge and information on the
causes of pollution, harm, health impacts, available techniques, costs of measures and benefits.
2.3. COMPETENCES OF NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES
This chapter provides information on the responsibilities of national, regional and local authorities in air
quality and emissions to air (Annex III, Part 1 (a) (ii) of the NEC Directive).
The Ministry of Environment and Energy is a central body for the implementation of environmental
management policy.
The Ministry shall be responsible, inter alia, for air safety, planning documents, adoption and implementation
of measures to prevent and reduce air pollution, professional control of the operation of the state network for
permanent monitoring of air quality (state network), air quality reporting and the exchange of data, and
information systems as regards air protection.
Under the responsibility of the Ministry, the Ministry is also responsible for the supervision and supervision
of the professional work carried out by the EU and the State Hydrographic Office below (hereinafter: DHA).
In the system of managing and controlling the use of structural instruments, the EU in Croatia, the Ministry
has a role as intermediate body level 1 for certain specific objectives under the priority axis “climate change
and risk management” and “protection of the environment and the sustainability of resources”.
At national level according to a new organisation revoked the HATP, the Ministry is responsible for the
collection and aggregation of environmental and nature data and information to ensure and monitor the
implementation of environmental and nature protection policy, sustainable development and other
professional activities related to environmental and nature protection.

3. Progress in reducing emissions and the improvement of the QUALITY OF THE AIR of the
AN ACCs obtained from an existing system of performance based on the EU
This Chapter provides, through three pillars, information showing: “the progress made by current PAM in the
reduction of emissions and the improvement of air quality and the level of compliance with national and EU
obligations” (Annex III, l.part (1)) (iii) of the Directive).Subchapters are:
• Progress in emission reductions achieved through existing PAM and the degree of alignment with EU
and national commitments
• Progress in improving air quality achieved through an existing PAM and the degree of alignment
with the national commitments and commitments of the EU, and
• The current cross-border impact of domestic emission sources.
This chapter corresponds to Chapter 2.4.“Progress made by current Pars in reducing emissions and
improving air quality, and the degree of compliance with national and Union obligations.
3.1 Progress TO REDUCTION THE EMISSION AND CLEARANCE BY
COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL OBLIGATIONS AND THE EU
For measures designed to contribute to achieving emission reduction commitments pursuant to NEC and
NEC, the measure’s effect should be expressed in terms of emission reductions to be achieved over a given
time limit.
As required by NEC and NEC Directive, at national level an inventory of good quality emissions should be
available as well as the spatial distribution of the EMEP’s network emissions. According to EMEP the
Reporting Guidelines and the Guide (as set out in Annex IV.The Directive), emission maps should be
developed using the resolution of 0,1° × 0,1° (long haul), which is Croatia and ensured through the project:
“Production of a Register for Small and diffuse pollutant emissions from spatial distribution to EMEP with a
high resolution network [4].The project represents a preventive measure to improve the air quality of MPR-11
from the Air Protection Plan, the Ozone Layer and the Mitigation of Climate Change in the Republic of
Croatia for 2013-2017 (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 139/13).The
results of the implementation of the action are available on the Internet site:Https: //emep.haop.hr/.Results are
given by the spatial representation of pollutant emissions in the Republic of Croatia and in zones in the zones
of the range of 0,1° x 0,1° (long haul) and for agglomerations in resolution 500 m x 500 m (long-lat).The

3.2 Progress’s improvements in improving the QUALITY OF THE JOBS QUALITY AND
CLEARANCE BY COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL OBLIGATIONS AND THE EU
OBLIGATIONS
According to the report: “The First Clean Air Outlook13 ” is a major environmental and health problem in the
EU.Many European cities have problems with poor air quality and go beyond the EU air quality standards
Directive 2008/50/EC,14 and further exceed the guidelines recommended by the World Health Organisation
(WHO).The European Environment Agency has estimated that around 400.000 people have died prematurely
in the EU in 2015 due to air pollution15.
EU — air policy review for the period 2011-2013 led to the Clean Air Policy Package in December
201316.The package contained the Clean Air Programme for Europe 17 and three legal proposals, for the
control of emissions from the Middle combustion plants, adopted as Directive (EU) 2015/2193 (‘MCPD’)18;
Ratifying the 2012 amendments to the GP, which determines the 2020 emission reduction, was adopted as
Council Decision (EU) 2017/175719; and for setting new national reduction commitments for 2030 in the new
Directive on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, adopted as NEC Directive 20
The Programme has proposed, among other things, regular reporting on the state of air quality in Europe,
encompassing the prospects of reducing emissions and progress towards the objectives of the EU.Following
the adoption of the NEC Directive in December 2016, an updated analytical base was updated and the first
“Clean Air Outlook” was prepared to address this and to provide the context for Member States’ work in
developing the National Air Pollution Control Programmes to be submitted to the Commission based on NEC
of the Directive by 1 April 2019.
The First Clean Air Outlook gives an overview of the state of play of current air emissions and air quality. It is
stated that in the 21th century the EU continued its trend towards reducing major air pollutants in the EU
despite economic growth. In general, over the period 2000. In 2015, overall EU GDP grew by 32 %, while
emissions of major air pollutants have decreased by between 10 % (for ammonia — NH 3) and 70 % (for
sulphur oxides — SOx).However, there are still major problems in the EU for air quality beyond air pollutant
limit values. For 2015, up to 20 % of the EU-28’s urban population was exposed to levels above the daily
particulate matter (PM 10) limit. For fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), up to 8 % of the urban population was
exposed to concentrations above the limit value 25 pg/m 3 and more than 82 % in levels above much more
stringent WHO values of 10 pg/m 3.In the case of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), the annual limit value remains far
exceeded across Europe, with concentrations above identical EU and WHO borders in 22 Member States,
which account for up to 9 % of the urban population. For ground-level ozone, 18 Member States have
registered concentrations above the target values, and up to 30 % of the EU urban population lived in areas
where the target value was exceeded and more than 95 % were living in areas where stricter WHO guidelines
were exceeded21.It also states that there are currently 30 procedures for breach of the provisions of Directive
2008/50/EC by the Member States, 16 for exceeding the PM 10 limit values, 13 for exceeding the NO 2 limit
values and one for exceeding the limit values of SO 2.
While emissions of all pollutants have been reduced, looking at their generation history of 1990, at source, the
concentrations of air pollutants have not been reduced enough in recent years. Both in most European cities
and in Croatia the highest number of people live in cities in which air quality standards go beyond. The most

At the CHAGREB PPI ‘PM 2,5 ’ location, the PM 2,5 measurement has been carried out since 2005, while the
measurements on Rijeka-2 for HPM2,5 started in 13.5.2015. The programme for measuring air pollution in the
state network for continuous monitoring of air quality (NN No 73/16) for measurements at Split and Osijek
stations shall start by 31 December 2019 at the latest.
In 2016, a study on how to achieve a targeted reduction of exposures at national level on the basis of the average
exposure to PM 2,5 for 2015 (http: //iszz.azo.hr/iskzl/datoteka?id=30809), which illustrates the analysis of the
exposure is at the heart of the time available at the time of: ‘Kaverska Road for PPI M2 , 5 ‘(urban area) and
‘Plitvice Lakes’ (rural area — National Park).
According to the detailed report, the AEI PM 2,5 for the year 2020 is 16,4 pg/m 3.If this is done, this
would mean that the target for reducing exposure at national level from 20 % will not be reached.
Based on measurements at ZAGREB PPI ‘PM 2,5 — Kaverska Road ’, a high degree of seasonality is set
up to the concentrations with elevated levels during cold and low levels during the warm part of the
year. The production results of the rural background station of the Plitvice Lakes show that there is no
seasonal trend of PM in 2,5.The chemical composition analysis of PM 2,5 shows the variability of the
anions, cations and organic and inorganic carbon concentrations as a result of the contribution of
multiple sources of pollution, remote transportation, physical and chemical properties of measured
pollution as well as meteorological parameters. Combustion processes of fossil fuels and biomass,
transport, re-suspension of plots, secondary aerosols and remote transport can be the most significant
sources.

- Information on the scenario of the achievement of (J); - Information about air quality measures (K).
Under IPA 2013 ‘Strengthening inspection of the environment for effective control of air
quality monitoring and the greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme, in order to achieve better
air quality in the Republic of Croatia’, an analysis of the status of air quality reporting has been
carried out and concluded that the EC data exchange is taking place in a satisfactory manner
and according to a scheduled timetable.
Information plans submitted to the European Commission:
In 2015, the following action plans were submitted to the Commission for exceedances in 2013: - Action plan for the improvement of air quality in the City of Zagreb — for exceedances of PM
10 PM - Action plan to reduce the PM 10 concentration in the city of Sisak — for exceedance of PM 10
PM - Action plan to reduce PM 10 emissions from Grad Kutini — for exceedances of PM 10 PM - Action plan on particulate pollution (PM 10) for the city of Osians — for exceedances of PM 10
PM - The action plan to reduce ozone ozone in the City of Rijeka was provided with measures to
reduce ozone ozone pollution at the City of Rijeka (ZZZ for the overshooting of floor ozone)
requires the development and adoption of an Action Plan, and in accordance with Directive
2008/50/EU for exceeding this CV, the compulsory notification of action is only required.
In 2016, information was provided on the implementation of the action plans for exceedances
in 2014. Reporting on the implementation of the action plans shall be reported in such a way
that information already sent is updated as necessary on an annual basis. In 2016, for
exceedances in 2014, the information provided in: - Action Plan for the Improvement of Air Quality in the City of Zagreb area — for exceedances
of CV BaP in PM 10.
All the current action plans drawn up can be found on the Air Quality Portal in Croatia on the
HAOP website at http: //iszz.azo.hr/iskzl/godizvrpt.htm?pid=0&t=4.
All the information on the action plans submitted by the EC is publicly available and also
included in the Air Quality in the Republic of Croatia website on the HATP website (for

Zagreb, September 2017) available at:http: //iszz.azo.hr/iskzl/datoteka?id=69590.
An objective assessment of the air quality shall be carried out for all areas (zones) where air
quality measurements are not made, measurements shall be made with either non-standardised
methods or by a standardised method for which equivalence tests with the reference method
have not been carried out, but only where the concentration levels of the pollutants are lower
than the lower end of the assessment floor (DPP) or long-term objective (DC) in accordance
The modelled values PM 10 concentrations are comparable only with values measured at rural
stations and may be considered reliable within the limit of measurement uncertainty/modelling
for PM 10 (50 % uncertainty margin).A slightly higher deviation relative to the measured value
is obtained at the gauge mission, where average annual concentration values are 20,6 pg/m 3,
whereas the results of the budget are around 18 pg/m 3, which is nevertheless within the limits of
the acceptability of the model results.
PM 2.5
The modelled values, PM 2.5 concentrations range from 6-16 pg/m 3 and throughout the Republic
of Croatia below the assessment ceiling (16 pg/m 3).

At Konovum, the measured values of PM 2.5 are higher than the modelled values and indicate

Ozone
Results from the budget of ozone concentrations show that the average daily ozone values of
ozone are high, and that there is a gradient of increase of concentrations going beyond the
mainland of Croatia to the Adriatic. Mean daily concentration values range from 60-100 pg/m 3,
which is comparable to the measurement values obtained.
Although there is a small trend of decreasing the median concentrations (mainly in the riparian
zones), the values do not change significantly from year to year.
Heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg), and solid organic compounds (BaP)
Lead concentrations of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are comparable with measured values,
while benzo (a) pyrene (BaP) values are significantly underestimated. However, measurements
shall be carried out in the centres with the high influence of local sources, so that it is not
possible to reach a final court if the modelled values are indeed underestimated in the zones
where measurements have not been taken.
Spatial distribution of annual mean concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg) and persistent
organic compounds (BaP)
The spatial criterion of the model is the largest barrier to making a final assessment.
However, taking into account the fact that B (a) is the highest in cities, urban
agglomerations and industrial centres, we estimate rural areas (zones).

for BaP.
There are changes in the pollution parameter during the period 2013-2016, based on data
provided by the EC.
PM 10 concentration
Exceedances on the ground occur only in the area of lowland continental Croatia. At
measurement stations which have been reported by exceedances, the number of daily
concentration exceedances is higher than permitted. Only one location (Kutiin-1) is the average
annual concentration that is larger than the GV.Measurements shall not indicate a decreasing
trend in the decrease of PM 10 annual concentrations or the number of exceedances of the daily
PM 10 concentration numbers than in most of the data points to the interannual variability as seen
in the following figures.
The location of the Zagreb -1 data point indicates the year-to-year variability of the annual
concentration and the number of exceedances occurring at the location (Zagreb — 1).
At the station of Zagreb -3 there is no more significant inter-annual variations in exceedance. In
this location the corrected measurement data of the non reference automatic method is presented
for 2013 and 2014, while for the years 2015 and 2016 the results of the corrected gravimetric
measurement presented. The corrected measurement data for the non-reference automatic
method at the station of Zagreb — 3 for the four years period indicate a significant interannual
variability not shown by the same sign as in Zagreb 1.
At Osite-1 location there is a very small change in the annual concentration and the exceedance
number has an interannual variability.
Sis-1 is all data related to gravimetric measurements. For the 2013-2016 period, the
measurement data of the non-reference automated method at sites of Osite-1 and Kutin-1 have
been corrected with corrective functions. For Ositd-1 the corrective functions from becoming
Zagreb 1 were used and for Kutin-1 the correction functions have been used with Sisak-1.
The data for Sisak-1 location show strong inter-annual variability, i.e. there is no clear trend.
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
80
For the location of Kutina-1 the data shows a significant increase in the exceedance of the GV
during 2015 and 2016, and an excess over the GV for PM 10 annual concentrations.
PM 2.5 concentration
At the Slavonski Brodo-1 measurement site, reference is made to the extremely exceeding the
PM 2,5 limit values.The corrected automatic zero measurement data gives a somewhat higher
value than the measurement by the gravimetric method in years 2015 and 2016 as can be seen in
the figure below. PM 2.5 measurements which were started on the Velika Gorica site in May
2015 proved to be exceeded by the GV in 2016 and an action plan has yet to be drawn up for the
site.
Concentrations B (a) P to PM 10
Annual concentrations B (a) P at the sites of Zagreb — 1 and Sisak-1 show an increase from
2013 to 2015, followed by a decline in 2016. At the location in Zagreb, 3 measurements were
started in June 2014 and concentrations also show a decline in 2016. In the locations Zagreb —
1 and Sisak-1, the changes in annual concentration B (a) P to PM 10 do not follow the changes in
the annual PM 10 concentration.
No concentration of NO 2
However, 2 was exceeded by only one of the stations used for reporting to the European
Commission. The annual NO 2 concentration was above the limit at the station Zagreb — 1 in
2015 and 2016, while in 2014 the border was at the border (40 ones in the bar; ag/m 3).Due to
insufficient coverage of 2015 data, the mean annual NO concentration of the NO 2 shall not be
reported.On the plot shown, the concentration values show a small variation around the limit
value.
Benzene (C6H6)
Benzene is only exceeded by one of the stations used for reporting to the EC, i.e. Sisak-1. In all
years, the coverage was below 90 %.In 2016, due to too little coverage of the data (20 %) and
the mean annual concentration is not shown. In 2013 and 2015, the coverage of the data was
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
81
86 % and in 2014 it was 81 %.Intermediate annual average benzene concentrations increased
significantly in 2015, the first and the only year with a return to benzene declaration.
Ozone (O 3)
In the period 2013-2016 there has been an increase in the number of measurement stations
where data on ground-level ozone have been exceeded. The maximum coverage of the data over
the four period of the period shall be measured in agglomerations of Rijeka and Zagreb, which
show a strong inter-annual variability of the exceedances for ground-level ozone. At rural
stations (Demić, Parg, Hum, Women’s crab), despite the coverage of less than 90 % in some
years, the number of gaps the CV exceeds the allowed number.
As seen in Figure, the number of exceedances of ozone is generated by a significant inter-annual
variability. The reported annual number of exceedances is also affected by the coverage of some
stations of less than 90 % during the summer period when any exceedances of targets occur. The
values of the triannual mean number of exceedance days CV is also affected by the coverage of
the data.
The coverage of rural stations data also affects the three-year average, as there is a possibility
that there may not be some exceedances. However, level of the ground surface
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
82
ozone in summer in rural areas of continental Croatia (HR 1), particularly coastal Croatia (HR
3, HR 4, HR 5) is so high that even in cases where the coverage of the data is below 90 % in the
summer season, there are more than 25 gaps in the CV.

3.3 CURRENT (CURRENT) CROSS-BORDER IMPACT OF DOMESTIC EMISSION SOURCES
This section provides information on the overall transboundary impact of national emissions on the other EU
members and vice versa.
Table 2.4.3 shows the current cross-border impact of domestic emission sources.
2.4.3Current cross-border impact of domestic emission sources (M, where applicable)
Each country contributes to cross border pollution, with the greatest impact on
neighbouring countries. Country-specific reports drawn up by the Norwegian
Meteorological Institute give an overview of the transboundary contamination of the main
pollutants, ozone and particulate matter and form an integral part of the EP “Status
Report”.The quantification of individual States’ contribution to transboundary pollution is
based on the original calculations, which are carried out using the EMEP of the uniform
model. The data input for the model shall be the emission data as well as meteorological
data and modelling results shall be reported, inter alia, for SO 2, NO x and NH 3.
Many countries contribute to the pollution in Croatia. In transboundary movements of
sulphur compounds and final settlement in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, the
neighbouring Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina has the largest contribution while Italy
is the largest contributor to pollution caused by nitrogen compounds (NO x, NH 3).
The share of cross-border precipitation in the total settlement indicates that almost all
settled NO X throughout its territory comes from outside the borders of Croatia. As regards
SO, the largest share of cross-border precipitation was recorded in eastern Croatia and
Dalmatia. Gorski Kotar and Dalmatia are areas where large cross-border contribution (90
and more) has been identified in the total NPH 3 deposition.

AMENDMENTS TO EVIĆ DONESED PAM
This chapter corresponds to Chapter 2.5.‘revised further evolution’ change to already adopted policies
and measures’.
An overview of the level of ambition that Croatia can achieve is given with a view to improving the reduction
of air pollution.
The list and the description of the measures are based on the Implementation Report on the PAM programme
to reduce emissions and an increase in sinks of greenhouse gases (HATP, 2017), with the addition of
measures relating only to pollutant emissions and the removal of measures relating only to greenhouse gas
emissions.
PMH is subject to the following sectors:
• energy;
• turnover,
• manufacturing processes and product use,
• waste;
• agriculture;
• other (Inter-service) PAM.
The European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), as a common EU, is a supranational measure, is a cross-
cutting measure with other (cross-sectoral) PAM.
Table 4-1 presents an overview in Annex 1 to the Programme, the descriptions currently used and PAM, the
impact of which was integrated in the scenario with the existing measures (WM scenario).
By definition (Para 11, UNFCCC, 2016, quoted in EMU GB 2016):
- the measures applied are those for which:
a) the national legal framework was adopted;
b) Or one or more voluntary agreements is established;
c) Or the allocated financial resources are allocated;
d) Or the human resources are mobilised;
- the measures adopted are those for which formal national decisions are available and there is a
clear commitment to continue towards implementation.

Please indicate the related uncertainties for the
projections of the WFP in order to meet the emission
reduction commitments for 2020, 2025 and 2030
onwards:
4.1 EMISSION PROJECTIONS AND EMISSIONS REDUCTION (WM SCENARIO)
This chapter provides an overview of projections of emissions for 2020, 2025 and 2030 with the use of the
existing measures (the WIM scenario) for SO 2, NOx, NMVOC, NH 3 and PM 2, 5.
Existing PAM included in the WM for the scenario are listed in Table 4-1 in Table 4- with a section
description of Annex 1.
In Table 2.5.1, the subsequent emission projections and the decrease for the WM scenario are in Table.
The uncertainty of the WM is related to GDP growth, the
impact of the temperature change on energy for heating and
cooling, hydrology in hydroelectric power generation and the
development of agriculture22, which is described below.
GDP growth
In all scenarios analysed, GDP growth by 2050 was assumed
to be 1.66 % on average by 2050, representing a nominal
increase compared to 2010 by 78 % (median scenario).In an
optimistic macroeconomic scenario, Croatia’s economy is
expected to grow at an average annual rate of 2.15 % (the
demographic projection remains the same as in the headline
scenario) by 2050. The resulting increase in real GDP per
capita by 2050 is around 138 % compared to 2012. It leads to
a faster closing of the development gap in comparison to the
EU average. For example, in an optimistic scenario Croatia
will reach 91 % of the EU average development level by
2050. On the other hand, the pessimistic macroeconomic
scenario represented an average annual growth rate of 0.8 %,
as well as a 44 % cumulative growth in real GDP per capita
by 2050. Such growth is expected to be slower than the
growth of the EU as a whole, and Croatia’s real per capita
income from today’s 60 % of the EU average would drop to
55 %.

2.5.1Emission projections and emissions reduction (WM scenario)
Pollutant (M): Total emissions (kt) consistent with
In addition to sensitivity analysis depending on hydrological conditions, a sensitivity analysis was performed
and for other parameters that are essential for the electricity system. The sensitivity to change in the following
parameters was analysed:
• for the WM scenario:
the constant price of allowances at EUR 15/EUA, instead of price increases such as in the EU
Reference Scenario 2016;
on the constant price of allowances at EUR 15/EUA rather than price increases such as in the EU
reference scenario 2016, net imports up to 30 % of electricity, instead of scenario without net
importation (excluding Krško nuclear power plant);
An examination of the analysis is given in Table 4-2 and Figure 4-7.

Maintaining the price of EU ETS allowances at a constant level of EUR

of a fossil fuel power plant. Emissions In 2030, 2were 4.7 % higher than the WM scenario. In year 2040 and 2050 the difference is below 0.3 %.The SO 2 shows
an increase in NOx emissions by 0.5 % in 2030, by 2.9 % in 2040 and
by 6.7 % in 2050 with respect to the WM scenario. There are also
higher emissions and NMVOC by 0.2 % in 2030 and 2040 and by 1.0 %
in 2050.

Action plan to reduce the PM 10 concentration in the area
city of Sisak Air quality improvement action plan for
Slavonski Brod
reporting year: 2017
The baseline emissions reduction scenario is the energy renovation of family homes. The
application of energy efficiency measures and the use of combustion plants to low emission wood
are intended to reduce emissions during the heating season.
This scenario is based on the application to households of energy efficiency measures using
conventional wood stoves. A shift from conventional to energy efficient stoves is possible to
reduce the emission of boilers by 50 %.The transition from conventional to ‘eco-label’ stoves can
reduce the emission of boilers by 87 %.This calculation is based on EMEP/EEA emission factors.
Assume that energy renovation will cover 20 % of the households using heating wood that can
expect an emission reduction

Households sector by 10 % to 17°%, which will ultimately lead to a reduction of PM25 concentration of about
1,5 pg/m 3.
The contamination of particles in the Slavonski Brod area is significantly affected by regional and
transboundary air pollution. High background concentration means that there is a need to achieve a strong
reduction in local emissions, notably from the combustion of wood in local plants, in order to achieve a limit
value for PM2,5. The measures of this Action Plan aim at cost-effective targeting of energy recovery in the
Slavonski Brod area by promoting those energy efficiency measures which make the most of ‘savings’ in
particulate emissions. The dynamics of energy renovation performance shall be determined by the available
financial means and models of their use.
At national level, the Family House Programme for the period 2014-2020 (Narodne Novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 43/14 and 36/15) shall be implemented at national level. As part of the
implementation of this programme, the FPS has co-financed energy renovation measures of family houses
through which better thermal protection of housing is achieved, increases the energy efficiency of heating
systems and encourages the use of renewable energy sources. The current EU model for co-financing energy
renovation of family houses applies to natural persons while the former model of financing involves units of a
local (regional) government as intermediaries between the FPS and the citizens.
Under the Operational Programme Competitiveness and Cohesion 2014— 2020 funds were provided to promote
energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as environmental protection and resource sustainability. The
use of these funds does not allow for the direct financing of some of the measures behind the action plans, but
also in cooperation with the competent Ministry, the possibility to finance energy renovation measures aimed at
reducing emissions of particulate matter during the heating season.

MEN-1: Integration of pollutant emission reduction measures in planning documents and projects for energy renovation of buildings
Pollutant emissions from the household sector and services are recognised as one of the main causes of air
quality disruption in many areas. The key cause of pollutant emissions (notably PM 2,5 and PM 10 PM) is the
use of firewood in conventional kilns. Therefore, in areas where air quality is impaired, it is necessary to speed
up the implementation of measures to restore the external envelope of buildings and to replace conventional
furnaces using firewood.
At national level, energy renovation of buildings (including the renovation of the building envelope and
replacement of thermotechnical systems), use of solar energy, heat pumps, is planned under the more strategic
and planning documents listed in the descriptions of the existing sectoral measures:
- MEN-1: National plan for increasing the number of pre-vo-zero-energy buildings;
- MEN-2: Energy renovation programme for apartment blocks;
- MEN-3: A programme to increase energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy in commercial
non-residential buildings,
- MEN-4: The family house’s energy renovation programme,
- MEN-5: Energy renovation programme for public buildings,
- MEN-11: The programme to reduce energy poverty,
- MEN-19: Energy efficiency programme in heating and cooling,
- MEN-21: Promoting the use of renewables and energy efficiency by the FZEU funding;
and in coordination with cross-sectoral PAM such as:
- MCC-5: Use of auctioning funds under the EU ETS for measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
- MCC-7: Energy efficiency obligation scheme
- many measures are funded through the EU SIF [5].
At the same time, the local (regional) plans and programmes for energy efficiency, renewable sources, air
protection and climate change mitigation and adaptation are developed and implemented by JLP (R).
The aim of this measure is to integrate activities to reduce pollutant emissions in areas where air quality
is impaired into national, regional and local plans and energy renovation projects.Support instruments
should be provided for, primary natural persons, owners of family houses, for investing in:
- improving thermal insulation of the envelope elements (walls, roofs, cellars); - the replacement of exterior trim, in particular windows;
- replacement of existing heating systems with new, more energy efficient, and less emissions of
pollutants.
In the development of new planning documents for the energy renovation of buildings, it is therefore necessary
to strengthen inter-ethnic coordination and to provide instruments to boost the energy renovation of buildings
(with a focus on family houses) where the air quality has been eroded. In terms of financial terms, the support
may be provided for in large part through the EU Structural Funds.

MTR-1: Integration of pollutant emission reduction measures in planning documents and projects from road transport
Transport and mobility needs are one of the greatest environmental burdens in urban areas. The increase in the
number of passenger cars, the way in which they are used, the volume of traffic and the non-structured
expansion of urban areas are a source of pollutant emissions, which are one of the main causes of the
degradation of air quality in many areas. Therefore, in areas where air quality has been impaired, it is
necessary to speed up the implementation of measures to reduce pollutant emissions from road transport.
A series of measures are implemented at national level to reduce emissions from the transport sector, as
described in the existing:
- MTR-1: Consumer information on fuel economy and CO2 emissions for new passenger cars;
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
113
- MTR-2: Driver training for road vehicles;
- MTR-3: The obligation to use biofuels in transport;
- MTR-4: Special environmental charge for powered vehicles;
- MTR-5: Special tax on motor vehicles;
- MTR-6: Financial incentives to purchase hybrid and electric vehicles;
- MTR-7: Deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure;
- MTR-8: Promoting integrated and intelligent transport systems and alternative fuels in urban areas;
- MTR-9: Monitoring, reporting and verification of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of liquid fuels;
- MTR-11: The limitation of pollutant emissions from road vehicles, and in coordination with cross-
sectoral PAM such as:
- MCC-5: Use of auctioning funds under the EU ETS for measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
- MCC-7: Energy efficiency obligation scheme
- many measures are funded through the EU SIF [5].
At the same time, the local (regional) plans and programmes for energy efficiency, renewable sources, air
protection and climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as master plans for sustainable transport
development, are developed and implemented.
The aim of this measure is to integrate activities to reduce pollutant emissions in areas where air quality
is impaired into national, regional and local plans and programmes and projects affecting emissions to
the road transport sector.
This measure includes various means to promote a reduction in the number of vehicles in urban areas that do
not have air quality categories I. a key source of emissions is the road transport sector, such as:
- refusal of entry into certain urban areas depending on the environmental standard of the vehicle;
- optimisation of removal of payment facilities.
- integrated transport of citizens;
- intelligent traffic grade,
- promoting SEP schemes for cars;
- the promotion of public bicycles,
- actions to support the development of alternative fuels infrastructure in urban areas
- introduction of urban pollution charges
- redirecting traffic from a city centre;
- encouraging urban public transport use;
- infrastructure development and incentives for cycling;
- introduction of systematic energy management of vehicles owned by the city, etc.
In the development of new planning documents for energy efficiency, renewables, air protection and climate
change mitigation and adaptation and transport development, the cross-sectoral coordination needs to be
strengthened and instruments encouraged to reduce pollutant emissions from the road transport sector in areas
where air quality is impaired. In so doing, they should be tailored to the circumstances of the areas in which
they are regulated. Agriculture
MAG-1: Changes in livestock nutrition and pigs’ quality and livestock feed quality
Specific sub-actions within this group of measures concerning the improvement of livestock systems, the level
of production as well as animal feed: a change in the proportion of individual types of fodder to a diet, the use
of additives (fat, amine agents, biological additives), the improvement in the quality of coarse fodder and
morbidity through the suspension of grazing systems. These measures relate to the potential reduction of
emissions of nitrogen compounds and ammonia from the enteric fermentation and manure management.
Professional literature mentions the potential reduction of ammonia emissions from liquid pig manure
component to 40 % [7].Given the proportion of pigs on management systems that are suitable for the
application of this measure [ 8], a conservative expert estimate may be used to reduce ammonia emissions from
pig manure management systems to 15 % by 2030.
MAG-2: Anaerobic digestion of manure and the production of biogas
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
114
The introduction of a biogas plant leads to the removal of methane emissions from the disposal of the
discarded litter and renewable electricity generation. The measure is linked with the renewable sources in the
production of electricity and heat, and the construction of CHP installations in the energy sector. Anaerobic
digestion helps biogas plants reduce the source of easily degradable carbon in the fertiliser which applies to
farmland, but also has the potential to reduce N2O emissions from the nitrification process, as well as the
ammonia emissions. A conservative expert assessment of reducing ammonia emissions (based on the potential
to reduce N2O emissions) is 5 % of the emissions from the manure management system for dairy cows, pigs,
laying hens and broilers.
MAG-3: Improving livestock plants, manure management systems and routes of administration organic fertilisers
Cover up the storage site for (current) manure — creating natural layer (rind) with natural (straw) or porous)
artificial material. This measure decreases the direct emission of methane and ammonia, although to a lesser
extent, the nitrification (porous material) process and cause a slight increase of nitrogen oxide emissions. The
literature states the possible reduction of ammonia emissions from livestock manure, in the range of 78 % —
94 % (pigs), and 71 % — 86 % — (bovine) [7].In view of the proportion of bovine and porcine animals on
management systems that are suitable for the application of this measure [ 8], a conservative expert estimate
may be used to reduce the sectoral emission of ammonia of 30 % for bovine animals and 35 % for pigs until
2030. Further reduction of emissions is possible through the injection of an organic fertiliser instead of its
spray, thereby reducing ammonia emissions as a result of the application of organic fertiliser to 90 % [9].The
expert evaluation is to reduce the sectoral emissions of ammonia from manure management sources (for cattle
and pigs) by an additional 10 %, as well as particulate matter for ~ 5 % by applying this method of applying
organic fertiliser to agricultural land.
MAG-4: Improving methods for the application of mineral fertilisers
The use of new fertilisers slow slow practices for cultivation of maize and wheat (fertilisers with polymers
enabling polymers to reduce the need to apply a fertiliser per hectare (due to lower nitrogen losses) with
unchanged or increased revenues. Further reduction of the NHH 3 emission is possible by reducing the use of
urea to other types of mineral fertilisers.
MAG-5: Psychological and natural disaster protection systems
The construction of drainage, irrigation and protection systems from floods, droughts and other natural
disasters, in addition to the direct benefits of reducing production costs and increasing the quality of the
harvest, can also have an impact on the reduction of nutrient losses as a result of leaching and leaching,
resulting in a reduced need for nitrogen application, thus also for the use of mineral fertilisers. In total,
ammonia emissions from the sector were assessed at 1 % level. MAG-6: Introduction of new cultivars, varieties and species
Fostering the development, education and deployment of technologies at national and regional level, fostering
the transition and adaptation of the entire production chain to produce new crops or facilitating and
encouraging the use of cultivars and varieties that are more resistant to drought and diseases and have lower
carbon footprint. It is, with other advantages, geared towards reducing the need to introduce nitrogen into soil
through fertilisers and therefore ammonia emissions. The expert evaluation shall be the lower ammonia
emission at sectoral level, up to 1 %.
Intersectoral measures
MCC-P-1: Support to increase the administrative, technical and management capacities of local communities
Support should be provided to increase the administrative, technical and management capacities of local
communities in the implementation of air quality action plans. This can be achieved through a LIFE project to
help cities implement actions more efficiently and monitor progress and to strengthen coordination of national
and local action. There is also a need for the general public and stakeholders to be more aware of the problems
of air pollution and possible measures to reduce emissions and examples of good practice.
For a more active inclusion of local policy and easier funding, positive effects should be reported through
money savings in health care, in particular the awareness that improvements in air quality can save substantial
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
115
financial resources in the healthcare sector.
A number of coordinated actions of a number of sectors are coordinated by the cities, namely the persistence
and financial rigidity of the city and there are no usual sources of funding for a holistic approach.
Progress on the quality of air achieved by emission reductions at European and national level is relatively
slightly visible on local levels when viewed in the perspective a few years. Decision-makers and local public
opinion felt that achieving the objective must be achieved through the same effort of all those that contribute to
pollution, partly because allocation of financial resources of local administrations is not sufficient for the
necessary emission reductions. A coordinated activity and financial contribution from different levels,
European funds, national co-financing and a local component are essential.
MCC-P-2: Support for the elaboration of documentation to provide additional financial resources for more effective implementation of air quality action plans
The NEC Directive provides that assistance in the planning and implementation of air quality action plans may
be implemented by co-financed EU funding via LIFE and the EU Structural Funds.
Consequently, it is proposed that the necessary technical analyses are carried out and the design dossier
provided for the declaration of the financing from the Structural Funds for the 2021-2027 cycle (envelope).The
project would serve to encourage the substitution of conventional (non-efficient) combustion plants using fuel
wood with efficient combustion plants fitted with ECO standards, pellet systems or technologies on fuels with
lower pollutant emissions, in particular in zones/agglomerations with exceedances of PM2,5.
MCC-3: Support for research related to the planning of Pams and to monitor their impacts on emissions and air quality
Research should help identify cost-effective measures, measures that are positive for the development of the
economy, employment, research to help transfer the knowledge on best available techniques and the
application of good practices. Tools, models of emission assessment and air pollution, techniques for
determining the contribution of individual sources of air pollution, IT support and databases for quantitative
monitoring of progress and reporting are needed. Synergy links with measures from various sectors and
encouraging a holistic approach.

some of the most important points are: • A Strategic and rapid development should
work once an Energy Strategy has been
developed. • Whether indicative share targets will be
indicative OIE should become binding on the
Republic of Croatia?What will be if they
are not to be achieved? • The surge in electricity demand is
overestimated. • The statistical corrections in the energy
balance concerning the use of biomass for
heating purposes in the household sector
influence the change in the total RES
share, the uncertainties and the
consequences of the changes in the data
should be further investigated. • Be more detail on, the document should be
shortened. • The strategy is not sufficiently detailed —
further clarifications are needed regarding
methodology, models, input data,
implementing measures. • How will the planned increase of central
heat supply systems in the heat supply
process? • Hydropower Pitot as multipurpose
projects? • Consistency in the application of the
circular economy, regarding the energy
use of waste. Most of the questions related to energy, there
were several issues relating to waste

national GHG projections that were expected to
be submitted in 2015 on the basis of Regulation
525/2013 on a mechanism for monitoring and
reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for
reporting other information at national and EU
level related to climate change. Over 18
months, the project team initiated a series of
bilateral consultations and workshops. The
Action Plan consisted of 14 points, some of
which concerned technical and general issues
around drafting and submitting projections
(estimates of macroeconomic data, models
used, delivery of projections, modelling of the
impact of PAM, sensitivity analysis etc.), part
of the energy projections (methodology,
emissions breakdown, entry assumption) and a
part to projections in non-energy sectors. The
project has resulted in improvements of the
system and capacity building to produce
projections of greenhouse gas emissions.

uncertainties
This chapter corresponds to Chapter 2.9.‘Further Additional Measures of Pats’ (‘With Additive Measures’ —
WAM) on emissions response, air quality and the environment and the associated unceries’.
8.1 EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENT OF EMISSION REDUCTION COMMITMENTS
This chapter provides an overview of the projections of the emissions of all NEC Directives for 2020, 2025 and
2030, using the chosen WAM on scenario, outlined in Chapter 5.1.
Plots of projections of emissions projections and reduced emissions for WM and WAM scenarios are summarised
below. SO 2
The projections indicate how the quota is expected to be met and the emission reduction commitments of SO 2 are
expected to be met for both scenarios. The WAM scenario results in an additional reduction of 2,87 KT kt 2
compared to the WM scenario by 2030, with the result that the reduction of emissions would be 34.7 % below the
Figure 8-1Historical trend and projections of the SO 2 emissions for WM and WAM scenarios
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
134
commitment in 2030 (in the WM scenario, the level of emissions is 6.0 % below the commitment in 2030).The
main impact on the reduction of the SO 2 emissions have further measures to boost renewable energy sources and
the resulting lower emissions of electricity from fossil fuels as well as lower fugitive emissions.
Calculation
The projections indicate how the quota is expected to be met and the reduction commitments for NOx emissions
for both scenarios are expected. The WAM scenario results in an additional reduction of 2,98 kt NOx emissions
relative to the WM scenario by 2030, with the emission reduction target of 12.5 % below the 2030 liability (in the
WM scenario the level of emissions is 3.9 % below the 2030 liability).The main impact on the reduction of NOx
emissions is measured in terms of transport measures, renovation of buildings and the replacement of furnaces
and fuels in the household sector.
NH 3
Projections show how the quota is expected to be met and the emission reduction commitments of NH 3 is
expected only in the WAM scenario. The WAM scenario results in an additional reduction of 8,89 kt NH 3 in
relation to the WAM scenario until 2030, with the emission reduction target of 15.6 % below the 2030
commitment (in the WM scenario, the level of emissions is 12.4 % above the 2030 commitment).The main impact

135
on the reduction of the NH 3 emissions shall have measures in the agricultural sector.
NMVOC
The projections indicate how the quota is expected to be met and the reduction commitments for NMVOC
emissions are expected for both scenarios. The WAM scenario results in an additional reduction of 6,08 kt for
NMVOC in relation to the WM scenario by 2030, with the emission reduction target of 31.7 % below the 2030
commitment (in the WM scenario at 21.7 % below the 2030 commitment).The main impact on the reduction of
NMVOC emissions shall have measures towards the renovation of buildings and the replacement of furnaces and
fuels in the household sector, as well as measures in the waste management sector.
PM2,5
The projections indicate how the quota is expected to be met and the PM 2,5 emission reduction commitments are
expected to be met. The WAM scenario results in an additional reduction of 2,24 kt PM 2,5 relative to the WM
scenario by 2030, with the emission reduction target of 27.6 % below the 2030 liability (in the WM scenario the
level of emissions is 15.4 % below the 2030 liability).The main influence on emissions reduction takes measures to
restore buildings and to replace furnaces and fuels in the household sector.

PM 10
For PM 10 no reduction commitment has been set and the trend and causes of emissions are similar to those for
PM 2.
8.2 NON-LINEAR DERIVED TRACK FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS
When the projections of emissions under the WAM scenario do not result in a linear trajectory between 2020 and
2030, then Member States are required to provide supporting information confirming that the adopted measures
will result in emission reduction commitments for 2030. the linear trajectory shall be acceptable only under
conditions where there is evidence to demonstrate that a non-linear path is economically and technically effective
and does not affect the achievement of any reduction commitment for 2030.(Article 4(2)NEC of the Directive).
In addition, the Member State must demonstrate that from 2025 onwards, a non-linear path converges with a
linear trajectory into the same reduction commitments for 2030. information on emission reduction trajectory
projections, including status 2025, should be included in the draft NAPCP as provided for in Article 6(5), of the
NEC Directive.
The emission projections for the Republic of Croatia according to the WM and the WAM scenario do not exhibit
non-linear trajectory with the reduction trajectory between 2020 and 2030 (see graph in Table 2.9.2. The format).
This shows the trajectory of a reduction of non-linear line emissions (M, where appropriate) the trajectory in
Table 2.9.2.

2.9.2Pathway of reduction of non-linear emission lines (M, where appropriate) Where a non-linear emission
reduction trajectory is
visible, it shall demonstrate
that it is technically or
economically more efficient
(in the case of alternative
measures that entail
disproportionate costs) and
will not jeopardise the
achievement of any reduction
in commitments in the year
2030, and that the trajectory
converge towards a linear
trajectory from 2025
onwards (M, where
appropriate):
The projections do not exhibit non-linear emission reduction trajectories
between 2020 and 2030 that would go beyond the linear trajectory of
emissions reductions, as shown in the figures below for each pollutant.

8.3 USE OF FLEXIBILITY
The NEC Directive includes a provision allowing the use of flexibility with regard to the reporting of national
emission inventories in specific circumstances (Article 5NEC of the Directive and Article 23. The text of the
Regulation to NEC).For those flexibilities already existing in the (revised) GP, the terms in NEC Directive are
aligned with those already established according to the CLRTAP, although NEC Directive introduced additional
constraints. Moreover, the use of flexibility requires annual approval by the European Commission.
Flexibilities set out in Article 5(2) and Article 5(4)NEC Directive (and Article 23 para.
4. and paragraph 6. NEC Regulation) generally applies to cases where exceptional circumstances (e.g.
exceptionally cold and ultra-dry, sudden and exceptional interruption or loss of capacity in the electricity supply
and/or production system, which could not reasonably have been foreseen) lead to unplanned failure of the
emission reduction commitments and are therefore not relevant for the first formation of the NAP (but may be
relevant for subsequent updates).
However, the flexibility mechanism described in Article 5(3)NEC Directive and Article 23 para.
5. NEC Regulation is one which can be taken into account in the planning: ‘If, in a given year, a Member State,
for which one or more of the reduction commitments laid down in Annex II are set at a level that is more than the
cost effective reduction laid down in TSAP in 16, cannot comply with the relevant emission reduction commitments
after having implemented all cost-effective measures, it shall be considered to comply with that relevant emission
reduction commitment for a maximum of five years, provided that, for each of these years, it replaces the failure to
comply with the obligation to discharge the emission of the other pollutant listed in Annex II.”
A Member State which fulfils the conditions of Article 5(3).NEC of the Directive and Article 23(5).NEC Regulation
wishing to benefit from the flexibility should ensure that NAG includes measures that ensure:
- the emission reduction commitment shall be fulfilled within five years; and
- the surplus is replaced by an equivalent reduction in emissions of the other pollutant for each of these years.
Member States intending to apply paragraphs 1, 2, 3 or 4 of Article 5NEC of the Directive (paragraphs 1 to 6. The
Commission shall inform the Commission by 15 February of the reporting year concerned.
In suffix 2.9.3. Flexibility allowed the flexibility to use flexibility.
8.4 AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTIONS
For the purpose of drawing up this Programme, Air quality projects have not been designed.
In order to show the anticipated improvement in air quality in the WAM scenario, a quantitative analysis of the
baseline values in the WAM scenario should be developed, which should deliver the following results:
- number of non-conforming and compliant air quality zones (in total number of zones) for the years 2020,
2025 and 2030,
- provision for maximum exceedances of air quality limit values and mean exposure indicators for the years
2020, 2025 and 2030.
- if quantitative data are not available, the qualitative intended to improve air quality (WAM) and degree of
harmonisation.
The Republic of Croatia will not use flexibility for its first submission.
2.9.3Flexibility (M, gdie ie appropriately) Where flexibility is used, provide a budget for its use
(M, where appropriate) Not used.

Projections of improvements in air quality (WAM) are not available at national or local level for lack of expertise
and tools to build them.
During the next reporting period through amendments to this programme, in line with the level of improvement of
expertise and assessment tools, modelling and projected air quality improvement projections in Croatia will be

2020, 2025 and 2030, the maximum national exceedances provided and the projected

D. Qualitative provides for the improvement of air quality and the extent of compliance (WAM) (in case it does not quantitative data in the tables above)
Improvement in quality for the improvement of air
quality and degree of harmonisation (WAM): Not available.
The assessment is that the implementation of the WAM measures could
improve air quality in relation to NO 2, so there is no exceedance as it is
the case in a single agglomeration.
The particle reduction reduction is unlikely to be sufficient to avoid
exceeding the GV for PM 10 and PM 2,5 (daily values), as the contribution
of cross-border remote sensing is high. Achieving the WHO will require a
significantly greater reduction in emissions.
Air quality from the point of view of ozone could be improved but not
significantly so as to remain non-compliant.

updated in a chapter of the Programme of the Programme.
8.5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT PROJECTIONS
For the years 2020, 2025 and 2030, Member States should report the projected impact on the environment in the
WAM scenario. The indicators should be aligned with those applied on the basis of the LRTAP Convention of the
exposure of ecosystems to acidification, eutrophication and ground-level ozone25.Member States may provide a
qualitative description of these effects or to quantify the effects in terms of the share of the exposed territory of the
Member State (%):
- acidification above the level of critical level
- eutrophication exceedances of critical levels
- ground-level ozone in exceedance of a threshold
The Plan on Air Protection, Ozone Layer and Climate Change Mitigation in Croatia for the period 2013-2017 (NN
No 139/13) envisaged implementing MPR-13 of the thresholds for harmful nitrogen deposition to determine the
degree of vulnerability to biodiversity in protected areas in Croatia. A measure has not been implemented and no
condition has been made to predict the environmental impact of the WAM on the scenario.
Table 2.9.5 of environmental impact projections (WAM) is not available at national or local level.
8.6 WAM PAM methodology AND uncertainty PAM
A sensitivity analysis was also carried out. In addition to sensitivity analysis depending on hydrological
conditions, a sensitivity analysis was performed and for other parameters that are essential for the electricity
system. The sensitivity to change in the following parameters was analysed:
• for the WAM scenario:
on net imports of up to 30 % of electricity, instead of scenario without net importation (excluding
Krško nuclear power plant);
net imports up to 30 % of electricity, instead of a scenario without net imports (except from the
Krško nuclear power plant), but in combination with 30 % lower natural gas price (compared to
An examination of the analysis is given in Table 8-1 and Figure 8-7.

WAM Net imports up to 30 % of electricity,
instead of scenario without net importation
(excluding Krško nuclear power plant)
Allowing net imports of electricity while keeping the rest of
the unchanged parameters would lead to a lower operation of a
fossil fuel power plant and lower pollutant emissions. Visible
emission reductions for SO 2 are up to 3 %, by up to 1.5 % NOx and below 1 % for NMVOC in 2030.
WAM
Net imports up to 30 % of electricity,
instead of a scenario without net imports
(excluding Krško nuclear power plant) but
in combination with 30 % lower natural
gas price (compared to EU reference
scenario 2016 prices)
In case of a further change of the import price of natural gas
(price decreases), the difference compared to the WAM would
be lower, as electricity production from natural gas would be
cheaper, but the emissions still show lower values compared
to the WAM scenario.

8.7 MONITORING PROGRESS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES
AND NATIONAL POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAMME
The procedures for determining the progress made in the current packages are described in Chapter 3.2. When
designing the NAP, Member States have to ensure that the progress in the implementation of the NPCP as a
whole, as well as for any additional SPS, is monitored by continuous and systematic data collection.
Intermediate targets should be established, where appropriate to ensure the early detection of any problems
that may arise with the implementation and application of the NAPCP and PAM. for NPCP as a whole,
progress with respect to the emission reduction trajectory established in the initial NPCP should be
undertaken.
Monitoring of the NAP and the individual PAM should be done throughout their life-cycle and at relevant
levels of implementation (i.e. national/regional/local):
• Implementation: the introduction of a PAM in law, plans and programmes at a local, regional and/or
national level as defined in the NAPPCP;
• Application: monitoring progress on the SRM according to their initial objectives. This should be
supported by monitoring individual indicators as described below;
• Compliance and enforcement: monitoring concrete actions by operators, authorities and agencies,
monitoring all inspections taking place and implementation measures implemented.
When defining indicators for PCP and individual PAM, Member States should ensure that these are relevant
(i.e. associated with the objectives of the NAPCP and PAM), accepted by the relevant stakeholders, reliable
(easy to interpret), simple (for monitoring) and robust (anti-manipulation).The indicators may be both
quantitative and qualitative. The exact choice of the indicator depends on the content and the administrative
framework in which the NPCP and individual PAM have been set up. For PAA- these targets a direct
emission reduction, the minimum change in annual emissions and contribution to concentrations from key
(relevant) sources should be monitored as a minimum.
Monitoring of progress in the implementation of the PAM and the national air pollution control programme
was monitored in Table 2.9.7.
2.9.7Monitoring progress on the implementation of the PAM and the national air pollution control programme Indicators selected for monitoring progress
in the implementation and/or
implementation of selected PAM:
- Report on the implementation of each plan and programme at national and local
level (plans, action plans and programmes), - Reduced vehicle odometer; - Number of vehicles with low emissions; - Share of facilities using the advanced mitigation system; - Replaced the number of household inefficient furnaces and boilers; - Number of houses fitted with insulation - Annual emissions from sources, - Contribution of the sources to concentrations of pollutants in ambient air
Indicators selected for monitoring progress
in the implementation and/or
implementation of NPCP.
- Report on the implementation of the measures foreseen by the WM and the
WAM scenario of the NPCP - Updating the relevant laws and regulations - Including PAM in laws, plans and programmes at local and national level - JLS number updating their air quality plans - Achieved emission reductions per year in relation to the planned emission
reduction trajectory - Reduction in concentrations of air pollutants (by measurement and using model)
Interim targets set at the level of the PAM
and/or NPCP: - Control of the implementation of specific actions defined in this Programme,
which need to be taken by operators, competent authorities, agencies, - Monitoring the implementation of the action plans; - Monitoring the operation of an inspection and its work undertaken;
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
144
To monitor progress in the implementation of air quality action plans, one of the measures is:
Setting up of tools/systems to assess progress by modelling urban air pollution, including by specifying the
contribution of transboundary air pollution, regional contributions and contributions from individual groups of
sources to transboundary air pollution. In fact, air quality measurements for a period of one year or several
years can show a deterioration in air quality, although emissions have been reduced. Floor level
concentrations depend heavily on meteorological climate conditions, such as in some years it may be, for
example, greater days from stagnating air masses and cumulation of pollution, and the transfer of pollution
from other areas may be very different from one year to another. By applying a model, each emission
reduction will be able to determine how much the improvement of air quality is as a result. Models can be also
more robust, type in order to be practical for use, an important comparison with the initial year of
implementation of a specific plan to improve air quality, and a relative assessment gives good information.
- In the zones contributing the most to particulate pollution (home boilers), the precise determination of
the technologies and fuels used should be determined. This will allow assessing the impact of
measures and the planning of incentive schemes as well as the level of financial resources needed.
- In strategic environmental studies and environmental impact studies, particular attention should be
paid to parts relating to particulate emissions and impact on air quality.

9. DISSEMINATION OF AIR POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAMME
This chapter corresponds to Chapter 2.10.‘Examination of the national acquisition and control programme’, a
common format for reporting national air pollution control programmes pursuant to NEC Directive of the
European Parliament and the Council on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric
pollutants.
Chapter and Table 2.10The formats are not mandatory but an arbitrary part of the Programme.
The chapter proposes women’s guidance for the dissemination of the Air Pollution Control Programme.
The Republic of Croatia, as well as other members of the EU, must actively and systematically inform the
public and the public concerned about the NPCP, publishing it in a publicly accessible online place (Article
14(1)NEC Directive).Article 19(10) provides: The Air Pollution Control Programme, as well as the updated
versions, shall be published in the Official Gazette and the Ministry’s website. This is in line with the
requirements of the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making
and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (the Aarhus Convention26) committing itself to ensuring
public access to environmental information.
The Directive also requires Member States to publish the datasets and data reported in accordance with
Article 10. NEC Directive and Article 12NEC, in a publicly accessible web location. Accordingly, and in
order to facilitate the use of all reported data according to NEC of the Directive, the Republic of Croatia
would include all available links to the data sets and reports together with the NEEAP, including links to:
• national emission inventories;
• the national emission discharge;
• informative inventory report; and
• additional reports and information to be notified to the Commission pursuant to Article 10NEC of the
Directive and Article 12. NEC Regulation including the location of tracking sites and related
indicators used for monitoring the impacts of air pollution on ecosystems, followed by follow-up
data as specified in Article 9. NEC of the Directive and Article 24. NEC Regulation.
2.10Dissemination of national air pollution control programme
26 Århus Convention — Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters by the Party of the Republic of Croatia in 1998 and ratification in December 2006 of Directive 2003/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 on public access to environmental information and repealing Council Directive 90/313/EEC
In accordance with the CRSKILLS project [14], the Rules on the training and certification system for construction
workers who are installing building elements with an impact on energy efficiency in the construction sector (NN
No 67/17) have been developed. The Rules aim at fostering the above training and upgrading the workforce for
more energy efficient construction and renovation of buildings in order to improve the performance of the work
performed.
An important source of financing for this measure is through the EU, SIF, An Operational Programme Efficient
Human Resources. MEN-13: National energy efficiency programme in public lighting
Public lighting is about 3 % of total direct electricity consumption in Croatia, and there is a significant energy
efficiency potential, according to the draft 4th National Energy Efficiency Action Plan for the 2017-2019
period.[13].The aim of this measure is to draw up and then implement a National Energy Efficiency Programme in
public lighting. The Programme needs to develop innovative financial models for the implementation of energy
efficiency projects in public lighting, with a focus on a more efficient allocation of available resources from the EU
SIF under the Operational Programme Competitiveness and Cohesion for 2014-2020 years. The quantified energy
savings target of the Programme has been achieved every year by 2020 in public lighting systems of more than 30
GWh and reaching over 50 % of the public lighting system.
MEN-14: Green public procurement
Green public procurement (in short: ZJN) is a voluntary environmental protection instrument that stimulates
environmental protection and sustainable consumption and production. It is defined as the procedure by which
the procuring entities purchase goods, works and services defined by criteria that contain key environmental
pressures, relating to resource and energy consumption, impact on biodiversity and eutrophication, toxicity,
pollutant, greenhouse gas and CO2, and generation of waste at source. This measure aims to attach environmental
protection criteria to public procurement. Based on the National Action Plan on Green Public Procurement for
the period 2015-2017 with a view to 2020 (Ministry of Environment and Energy, August 2015), public
procurement entities should include environmental criteria. The aim is to include environmental criteria for a
minimum of 50 % of public procurement by 2020. It is developing a national action plan for green public
procurement for 2018-2020 with an outlook to 2023.
The Public Procurement Act (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 120/16)
provides for an economic evaluation of the tenders, including an assessment of the social and environmental
criteria, which will be a strong incentive to green public procurement.
MEN-15: Industry energy audits
This measure should provide support to assess potential energy savings in industrial installations through co-
financing of the implementation of energy audits. An industrial energy inspection scheme shall include:
- mandatory energy audits for large companies (firms meeting at least two of the following conditions: total
assets of at least HRK 130 000 000,00, an annual income of at least HRK 260 000 000,00, at least 250
employees on average over the financial year).The obligation is governed by the Energy Efficiency Act
(NN No 127/14);
- a voluntary energy inspection scheme for small and medium-sized enterprises. On a voluntary basis,
energy audits are supported by the financial resources provided by the FPS.
MEN-16: Industrial energy efficiency network
The industrial energy efficiency network (MIEE) is a national energy efficiency promotion energy programme
in the economy — small, medium-sized and large companies. It is an instrument of voluntary cooperation by
energy consumers, professionals, state institutions, interested parties to a functional structure with the
objective of improving the rational use of energy, i.e. promoting energy efficiency in the industrial sector,
supporting the synergies of the process where possible and facilitating access to available resources through
different options.
MEN-17: Increasing the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency in industrial sector
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
154
The plan of this measure is to reallocate available resources from the EU to SIF, based on the Operational
Programme for Competitiveness and Cohesion, as well as the funds available for auctioning allowances in the
EU, and focus on the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency in the industrial sector.
The distribution of funds shall be in accordance with EU rules 651/2014 and 1407/2013 on State aid.
The Grant Agreement signed under the call ‘Increasing energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources
in the manufacturing industries’ was signed on 18 June 2018 and signed and awarded to beneficiaries (77)
(Ministry of Environment and Energy and the EU of the Union).It was initially foreseen to allocate HRK 114
million, but due to a large number of quality project proposals, it increased the total value of the grants
awarded in HRK 269.327.760,66. Funds under the Competitiveness and Cohesion operational programme
2014-2020After implementation of the envisaged activities driven by this call, CO2 emissions will be less than
17.125 tonnes per year. In addition, the overall industrial sector without the food industry will reduce the need
for non-renewable energy sources for
83,7 Million kWh and 0,97 % of total energy consumed annually by the sector in the Republic of Croatia.
MEN-18: Feed-in tariffs and a system of premiums supporting the use of renewable energy sources in electricity generation and high efficiency cogeneration
The main mechanism, due to the previous development of renewable energy sources, are FITs (tariffs).“Fed-in
tariff ” (FiT) is an incentive scheme, typically used for RES, small-scale cogeneration and other State power
plants, that the distribution or transmission network operator concludes contracts with an operator of the plant,
where they would pay a fixed price for each electricity unit supplied in advance for a certain number of years.
The tariffs depend on the source type, the power plant and the amount of electricity produced.
In addition to an incentive system for electricity, the production of CHP installations makes it possible to
adopt appropriate legislation to promote heat production from cogeneration (defining the status of heat
generator).
In the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (Ministry of Economy, 2013) the Republic of Croatia has set
out targets and policy for increasing the share of RES of total energy consumption to 20 % by 2020, 35 % in
electricity generation, 10 % in heating and 20 % in heating and cooling.
The Renewable Energy Sources and High-Efficiency Cogeneration Act (Narodne Novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 100/15) recast the existing feed in tariff system on premium, and
adjusted the system of incentives with the Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy
2014-2020.(2014/C 200/01).Since the documents are still in the process of being accepted, the design contests
according to the new model have not yet been implemented.
MEN-19: Energy efficiency programme in heating and cooling
The Energy Efficiency in Heating and Cooling programme (the Ministry of the Economy, 2014) analysed the
potential for developing district heating, mapping energy and heat production, exploring the potential for
additional high-efficiency cogeneration and assessing possible support mechanisms for efficient cogeneration.

standards for petrol storage and refuelling points at terminals and service stations and mobile containers used for
transporting petrol from one terminal to another or from the terminal to a service station and deadlines for their
achievement.
MIP-5: Quality control of petroleum derived fuels
The quality of petroleum derived fuels is regulated by the Decree on the quality of petroleum derived fuels and the
monitoring, reporting and methodology of life-cycle GHG emissions of supplied fuels and energy (NN No 57/17)
and the annual monitoring programmes for the quality of petroleum derived fuels marketed in the Republic of
Croatia or used for own use.
This Regulation lays down the limit values for the component and/or quality characteristics of petroleum derived
fuels, the method for determining and monitoring the quality of petroleum derived fuels, the conditions for the
operation of sampling laboratories and for laboratory analysis of the quality of petroleum fuels, the means of
proof of conformity of products, the name and labelling of products, the method and deadlines for submitting
reports on the quality of petroleum derived fuels and reports on fuel life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and
energy from fuel and energy, the methodology for the calculation of life cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of
energy for base 2010, the methodology for the calculation of the contribution of electric road vehicles to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, the format of the report and the length of the data transmission to the competent
authorities of the EU.
Annual monitoring programmes for the quality of petroleum derived fuels provide for the sampling of liquid oil
fuels in particular for service stations, storage places and transport tankers, the number and frequency of
sampling for petroleum derived fuels, sampling sites, depending on the amount of petroleum derived fuels put into
practice by the supplier on the market in the Republic of Croatia or which it uses for its own purposes, and the
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
157
method of performing laboratory analysis of samples of petroleum derived fuels and reporting on the conduct of
analyses.
This measure directly affects the sulphur, lead, olefins, aromatics, benzene, oxygen, polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons, oxygenates and fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in the following fuels: petrol, diesel, gas oil, fuel
oil, marine fuel and kerosene, including on reduction of SO2 and NMVOC.
MEN-29: Limitation of pollutant emissions from non-road mobile machinery
The limitation of pollutant emissions for non-road mobile machinery shall be regulated in the Rules on the
prevention of the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed

of such engines. New engines and non-road mobile machinery to which they are installed may only be placed on
the market and put into service if they are provided with a valid type approval certificate. These Rules also lay
down the obligation to establish the conformity of internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile
machinery and the conditions to be complied with by legal persons to carry out certain operations in the
conformity procedure.
The regulated pollutants are: carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and particulate pollutants.
Turnover
MTR-1: Consumer information on fuel economy and CO 2 emissions of new personal
automobiles
In accordance with the Rules on the availability of fuel economy and CO 2 emissions from new passenger cars (NN
No 7/15), each supplier of new passenger cars for sale shall provide consumers with the information available on
the fuel consumption level and the specific emissions of CO 2 of passenger vehicles. The Ministry of the Interior, as
the central state administration body responsible for road transport safety, on the basis of the Rules once a year,
shall produce no later than 31 March of the current year a guide on fuel economy and CO 2 emissions of new
passenger cars available for purchases on the market in Croatia. The guide contains the necessary information for
every model of new passenger cars available on the domestic market.
MTR-2: Driver training for road vehicles
Pilot projects have been implemented and are systematic training of road vehicles drivers. This saves energy and
increases the awareness of all citizens and drivers in Croatia about the benefits of this modern, intelligent, green
driving style. Specific elements are dedicated to the training of drivers of passenger cars, buses and lorries on the
road [13].
Education on the elements of eco-driving is being carried out with a short training (of up to about 60-120 minutes
per candidate) among the drivers who have obtained the driving licence before the Rules on the training of learner
drivers (NN No 13/09), which requires all driving schools and trainers to carry out training in the elements of eco-
driving elements during the standard training of a candidate driver. It should be pointed out that the proposed
measure does not apply to new drivers who receive training on the subject of journey in accordance with the legal
obligations set out in the Rules of Procedure referred to above.
In 2015, around 1.000 drivers passed the train training in. This measure achieved a saving of 17,513 TJ in 2015.
the maximum number of trained drivers of trucks and buses (even trained drivers) (even 645 trained drivers)
which are also the largest consumers and their training resulted in savings of 14,6 TJ. estimated that there exist
around 1.500.000 driving licence drivers in Croatia before the Rules on learner drivers’ training (NN No 13/09)
have been entered into force, namely the drivers who have undergone no or insufficient training of the eco-driving.
MTR-3: Obligation to use transport biofuels
The basic provision regulating and promoting the use of biofuels is the Transport Biofuels Act (NN Nos 65/09,
145/10, 26/11, 144/12, 14/14).
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
158
Pursuant to this law, in 2010 a national plan of action was prepared to promote the production and use of biofuels
in transport for the period 2011-2020. The plan sets out a policy to promote the increased production and use of
biofuels in transport in Croatia. The plan shall include a review and assessment of the state of the fuel for
transport and air protection, comparative analysis, long-term objectives, including the targeted biofuel market
and measures to promote increased production and the use of biofuels in transport.
The measures required by an aquis plan include mj ere, which promote the production of raw materials for the
production of biofuels, measures to promote biofuel production with regard to compensation for the promotion of
production, measures to promote biofuel consumption with regard to distributors of liquid petroleum products
with a view to placing biofuels on the market, administrative measures and R & D activities. The National
Renewable Energy Action Plan (Ministry of the Economy, Entrepreneurship and Crafts, 2013) set out objectives
and policies related to the uptake of RES share of final energy consumption by 2020 and the specific estimated
energy contribution of biofuels in transport.
In 2014, the national system was amended to support the mere use of biofuels in transport and not their
production. Croatia needs to re-amend the scheme in 2017 to include the provisions of Directive 2015/1513 (ILUC
Directive) for biofuels in transport, but this will be done in 2018.
The limit values for the quality characteristics of biofuels placed on the market on the domestic market, how the
quality of the biofuels are determined, and how compliance has been demonstrated, is laid down in the Quality of
Biofuels Regulation (NN No 141/05, 33/11).The Regulation aims to place on the market the domestic market for
biofuels and other renewable fuels of the same quality as a substitute for diesel fuel or petrol for transport
purposes, to meet climate change obligations, environmentally friendly security of supply and the promotion of
renewable energy.
MTR-4: Special environmental charge per motor vehicle
The existing system for the payment of special environmental fees for powered vehicles is governed by the
Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Act (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of
Croatia) Nos 107/03, 144/12), the Regulation on unit charges, the correction coefficients and closer criteria and
criteria for establishing the special environmental charge on motor vehicles (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette
of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 114/14 and 147/14) and the Rules on the method and deadlines for calculating and
paying special environmental charges on motor vehicles (NN No 20/04).Under the special environmental charge
for powered vehicles, it is understood that the compensation paid by legal and natural persons shall be understood
by the owners or holders of the rights of power-driven vehicles. The special fee shall be calculated plus the
payment of registration of the vehicle or the verification of the roadworthiness of the vehicle on the basis of the
FMZEU solution. The specific charge shall be levied taking into account the type of engine and fuel, the engine
volume, type of vehicle, CO 2 emission and the age of the vehicle.
MTR-5: Special tax on motor vehicles
The special tax on motor vehicles is laid down in the Special Vehicle Tax Act (Narodne Novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 15/13, 108/13, 115/16, 127/17).The tax relates to vehicles intended for use
on the roads in the Republic of Croatia at the time of their first registration in Croatia. Tax depends on the price
of the vehicle, the fuel type and the CO2 emissions.Hybrid electric vehicles shall not be subject to this tax.
MTR-6: Financial incentives for the purchase of hybrid and electric vehicles
Due to technological development costs, electric and hybrid vehicles are currently more expensive than
conventional vehicles using internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles are significantly more efficient than
conventional from a primary energy consumption point of view and are almost neutral from a CO2 emission point
of view, provided that they are powered by electricity produced using renewable sources.
With the aim of increasing the share of electric and hybrid vehicles, subsidies were introduced for the purchase of
electric and hybrid vehicles through grants. This appropriation is paid by the EU FRs revenue, notably through
the collection of special environmental fees for powered vehicles, and on the basis of funds collected from the
auctioning of emission allowances [13] [6].
MTR-7: Alternative fuels infrastructure developments
Pursuant to Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of infrastructure for fuel alternatives, the Republic of
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
159
Croatia adopted a national policy framework for the establishment of infrastructure and the development of the
market for alternative fuels in transport (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No
34/17) and the Act on the Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette
of the Republic of Croatia) No 120/16) with a view to promoting and ensuring the development of alternative fuels
infrastructure, in order to minimise the dependence on oil and to mitigate the negative environmental impact of
transport.
The measure also includes the development of an infrastructure for the use of liquid natural gas (LNG) in
maritime transport. Actions will be funded on the basis of different models: from utility companies, by means of
revenues from the auctioning of emission allowances based on the EU ETS and from SIF under the 2014-2020
Competitiveness and Cohesion Operational Programme, under Priority 7 — Connect, coordinating with local
administration, etc.
MTR-8: Promoting integrated and intelligent transport systems and alternative fuels in urban
areas
Transport and mobility needs are one of the greatest environmental burdens in urban areas. The increase in the
number of passenger cars, the way in which they are used, the volume of traffic and the non-structured expansion
of urban areas have largely reversed the technological progress with regard to energy efficiency of vehicles and the
intensity of emissions, including noise.
This action includes the promotion of optimising the transport of goods, integrated transport of citizens, smart
traffic management, the promotion of car sharing schemes, the promotion of public bicycles, and measures to
support the development of alternative fuels infrastructure in urban areas.
This measure ensures a gradual development of sustainable transport systems in urban areas of the Republic of
Croatia where sustainable development plans need to be drawn up as basic documents. These include analysis of
the current situation, definition of vision and objectives, analysis of impact and adoption of measures for all modes
of transport, allocation of responsibilities, method of implementation and monitoring mechanism. these plans
should be adopted at the level of big cities, and should be prepared in line with EC guidelines and financed
through EU programmes and funds.
Further, there is to be incentives also from the EU to SIF under the 2014-2020 priority competitiveness and
cohesion, with priority axis 7 — Connectivity and Mobility, to develop a public transport system with low CO 2.
MTR-9: Monitoring, reporting and verification of life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the liquid
fuels
Under the Air Protection Act (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 130/11, 47/14,
61/17), the supplier who places fuel on the domestic market shall monitor the greenhouse gas emissions per unit of
energy during the lifetime of the fuel. Suppliers should draw up a report to be authenticated and communicated to
the HATP.
Pursuant to the Act, the Decree on the quality of petroleum derived fuels and the method for monitoring and
reporting life cycle greenhouse gas emissions (NN No 57/17) and the methodology for calculating the quality of
petroleum derived fuels (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No) lays down the limit
values for the components and/or quality characteristics of petroleum derived fuels, the method for determining
and monitoring the quality of petroleum derived fuels, the method for demonstrating the conformity of products,
the name and labelling of products, the method and deadlines for submitting reports on the quality of petroleum
derived fuels and reports on the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of fuel and energy, the methodology for the
calculation of life cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy for base 2010, the methodology for the
calculation of the contribution of electric road vehicles to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the format of the
report and the length of the data transmission to the competent authorities of the EU.
MTR-10: Prevention and control of emissions into air from ships
Regulation on the publication of the 1997 Protocol amending and supplementing the 1973 International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, as modified by the 1978 Protocol.(MARPOL 73/78)
(International Treaties, NN No 4/05).Specific mandatory measures are imposed on the application of specific
mandatory measures to discharge SOx from ships in order to prevent, reduce and control air pollution from SOx,
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
160
as well as its accompanying adverse effects on land and sea. In addition to SOx, nitrogen oxides (NOx), ozone
depleting and volatile organic compounds (VOC) are controlled. Except for the pollutants, this protocol also
regulates burning on board a ship, which is only permitted in the litter carrier’s litter, and the fuel quality that
must be used, and the sea areas where a specified quality fuel may be used. Except for ships, prescribed 19 rules
shall also apply to fixed and floating platforms as well as drilling rigs, shall comply with the requirements of this
Protocol with the exception of lowering due to research, exploitation and offshore processing of minerals from the
seabed or the use of hydrocarbons which are produced and subsequently used on the platform as a fuel.
Rules on the Statutory Certification of Marine Ships, Pollution Prevention (NN No 32/18) stipulate technical
requirements for ships of Croatian nationality in relation to the prevention of marine and air pollution by ships
and contain provisions consistent with the 1973 International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from
Ships, as amended by the Protocol of 1978 (MARPOL 73/78) in relation to Appendix VI against air pollution
prevention.
MTR-11: Limitation of pollutant emissions from road vehicles
The limitation of pollutant emissions for non-road mobile machinery shall be regulated by: The Rules on the
approval procedure for motor vehicles with regard to the measures to reduce pollution by TPV 102 (edition 02)
(Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 49/13 and 57/13) and the Rules on the
approval procedure for motor vehicles with regard to emissions reduction measures for the engine TPV 102
(edition 00) (NN No 17/08).
The Regulation (Edition 00) regulates the procedure for the approval of motor vehicles of category M and N (1) by
reference to measures to reduce the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from their engines and of
replacement catalytic converters intended for such vehicles.
The Regulation (issue 02) is applied with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro
and nitrogen oxides (HC + NOx) and particulate matter.
Manufacturing processes and product use
The Croatian Industrial Strategy 2014— 2020 defines the industrial development objectives and key indicators of
the Croatian industry in the period 2014.— 2020According to the “realistic scenario”, the physical volume of
industrial production in 2008 is expected to be achieved by 2020, when the main degree of economic activity of the
Republic of Croatia is achieved.
The measures belonging to the EU ETS are included in the chapter Other (cross-cutting) PAM under measure
MCC-4A European Emissions Trading System (the measures are described below):
- the cement ratio for cement production — cement share in cement is in the range of 1530 %, depending on the
composition of the raw material, the availability of addenda to the relevant market composition, and market
requirements for single cement types (clinker account share is defined by standards HRN EN 197-1);
- the increase in recycled glass in the manufacture of glass — the return of packaging glass that has lost their
useful value to the production process (depends on the efficiency of the glass collection system in Croatia and
on the possibility of waste glass imports);
- abatement in nitric acid production (catalytic decomposition).The installation of a secondary catalyst beneath
the catalytic networks of the primary catalyst for decomposition N 2 O is possible to achieve an emissions
reduction of N 2 O to 88 %; The measure is cost-effective due to the relatively low marginal costs and the
high emission reduction potential of N 2 O.For the removal of NOx, a unit for low-temperature catalytic
reduction installed in a unit for the production of nitric acid — selective catalytic reduction in application.
In addition to the production of cement, nitric acid, sulphuric acid and ammonia, a key source in the product
production processes and use is the production of petrochemicals, and in the historical period of soot, the non-
energy use of fuels, the use of products and the consumption of halogenated hydrocarbons in the cooling and
cooling systems. The following measures are included:
MIP-1: Reduction of VOC emissions to the sector of use products containing
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
161
solvents
The Regulation on VOC content limit values in certain paints and varnishes used in construction and vehicle
refinishing products (NN No 69/13) lays down limits on the content of volatile organic compounds in certain paints
and varnishes used in construction and vehicle refinishing products which are allowed to be placed on the market,
how to identify and monitor product quality, the means to demonstrate compliance, the name and labelling of
products, the method and time limit for submitting product quality reports to the competent authorities of the
EU.Users of solvents containing solvents may develop and implement an annual solvent management plan,
reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds, as well as carbon dioxide emissions.
Agriculture
The positive impact of the implementation of measures on the emission of pollutants (NH3, NMVOC, NOx, PM2,5
and PM10) and the total greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector shall be reflected in the direct
reduction of emissions of the declared pollutants, methane and nitrogen compounds. Measures included to form
the scenario for the gradual transition of agriculture with respect to the reference scenario:
MAG-7: Implementation of the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020
One of the most significant areas of activity of the EU institutions, both in terms of the scope of the acquis, and in
terms of share of EU budget, is the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).Rural development, as the second pillar of
the CAP, was financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).A precondition for
the possibility to use the EAFRD funds is to produce the Rural Development Programme of the Republic of
Croatia for the years 2014-2020 (RDP 2014-2020).The objectives and targets of the ‘European strategy for smart,
sustainable and inclusive growth — EUROPE 2020’, the economic, environmental and territorial challenges of the
EU, are reflected through the CAP’s three objectives, which are: the competitiveness of agriculture, the
sustainable management of resources and the balanced development of rural areas. The objectives of this
programme are to achieve the objectives of the CAP through the actions chosen through the six priorities of
action:
— Fostering knowledge transfer and innovation in agriculture, forestry and rural areas
- improving the sustainability and competitiveness of agriculture in all regions and promoting innovative
farm technologies and sustainable management of forests
- promoting food chain organisation, including processing and marketing of agricultural products, animal
welfare and risk management in agriculture
- restoring, preserving and enhancing ecosystems related to agriculture and forestry
- promoting resource efficiency and supporting the shift towards a low carbon, climate resilient in
agriculture, food and forestry sectors
- promoting social inclusion, poverty reduction and economic development in rural areas.
Waste
An additional significant number of bylaws need to be adopted to ensure effective implementation of the measures
included in the Waste sector, in addition to the already adopted sectoral EU legislation, in particular as regards
the obligations under new EU rules with legally binding targets for recycling of waste and reducing landfilling.
These rules lay down a fixed timetable for Member States to make the adaptation of national legislation for the
transition to a circular economy in the next two years. This will have primarily an impact on the post-2020
projections for MM-1, MMW-2 and MW-4 measures, described below. According to the law, quantitative
objectives and deadlines for reducing the total amount of landfilled waste to be landfilled are defined. By the end
of 2017 the maximum weight of waste that could be disposed of in non-compliant landfills was 800.000 tonnes.
Disposal of waste in non-compliant landfills in Croatia is prohibited after 31 December 2017.
MW-1: Prevention and reduction of municipal solid waste
This is the first priority of the management of municipal waste according to the Sustainable Waste Management
Act. This measure should be achieved by means of production, education, education, economic instruments, the
application of regulations on integrated environmental conditions, and investment in modern technologies. The
Croatian Waste Management Plan for 2017.— 2022 (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
162
Croatia) No 3/17) defined the objectives to be achieved by 2022, compared to 2015. The objective on the
improvement of municipal waste management systems includes the target for the 5 % reduction of total municipal
waste generated.
MW-2 Increase in separately collected and recycled solid municipal solid waste
In addition to the Sustainable Waste Management Act, quantitative targets and timelines for increasing the
amount of separately collected and recycled municipal waste are defined in the Republic of Croatia’s Waste
Management Plan for 2017.— 2022. Provision should be made for the preparation for re-use and recycling of the
following waste materials by 2020: paper, metal, plastic and glass from the household, possibly also from other
sources, if these waste streams are similar to household waste, at a minimum of 50 % of the weight of the waste.
MW-3: Flaring and NMVOC incineration
The Rules on the methods and conditions for the disposal of waste, categories and conditions of operation for
landfill (NN No 114/15) and the Rules on waste management (NN No 117/17) lay down strict technical operating
conditions for landfills, which reduce the potential for adverse consequences of a landfill. Landfill gas should be
provided with a gas collection system to be processed and used. If landfill gases cannot be used for energy
purposes, they should be burned in the area of the landfill and should prevent methane and NMVOC emissions
from atmospheric.
MW-4: Reduction of the amount of biodegradable solid municipal solid waste deposited
The aim of this measure is to reduce the amount of the biodegradable waste fraction that is landfilled, which is to
be processed through composting and anaerobic digestion processes in the biogas installations.
According to the Sustainable Waste Management Act, quantitative targets were set for the reduction of the
proportion of biodegradable municipal waste going to landfill. By the end of 2020, the proportion of biodegradable
municipal waste going to landfill must be reduced to 35 % by weight of biodegradable municipal waste produced
in 1997.
MW-5: Biogas use for electricity and heat production
The measure is linked to a measure relating to Feed-in tariff and the premium scheme to support the use of
renewable energy sources in electricity generation and for high-efficiency cogeneration in the sector of energy. The
main mechanism to encourage the use of biogas to produce electricity and to encourage the construction of
cogeneration biogas installations are feed-in tariffs (tariffs) depending on the source type, the power plant and the
amount of electricity produced. By looking to the Waste sector, the greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential
of this measure represents the methane emission reduction potential (generated by the anaerobic digestion of
biodegradable fraction waste), used to generate electricity and heat.
Other (Inter-service) PAM
MCC-1: Cross-sectoral Coordination Commission for PAM: mitigation and adaptation changes
In accordance with the Air Protection Act (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos
130/11, 47/14, 61/17), the Decision of the Government of the Republic of Croatia in 2014 established a Commission
for cross-sectoral coordination on mitigation and adaptation related to climate change (Narodne Novine (NN;
official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 114/14).The panel was responsible for monitoring and assessing the
implementation and planning of PAM for mitigating and adapting to climate change in Croatia. Representatives
of the competent national authorities and other relevant institutions, agencies and non-governmental organisations
shall be appointed to the Commission. The commission, tasks and working methods of the commission shall be
determined by the Government of the Republic of Croatia on a proposal from the ministry responsible for
environmental protection. The panel shall be composed of the Coordination Group and the Technical Working
Group.
MCC-2: System for measuring and verifying energy savings
The energy savings measurement and verification system (SMIV) was established in the Rules on the system for
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
163
monitoring, measuring and verifying energy savings (NN No 71/15).It has, since June 2014, monitored energy
savings through the SMIV application (resulting from the measures of activation policies defined in the National
Action Plan for the Energy Efficiency — NEEAPs) and the reduction of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions. It
is possible to monitor through SMIV the application of the implementation of energy efficiency measures in the
four end-use consumption sectors: Industry (public and commercial), Industry, Transport and Home Affairs. The
web application uses the bottom-up methodology which is part of the Ordinance on monitoring, measurement and
verification of energy savings. It is important to note that, where there are results of measurements before and
after the implementation of an action, this exact data can be provided through the graphic interface of the
programme. Otherwise, when the measurements are not made available before or after the measures have been
implemented, the reference values prescribed by the Rules shall be used. SMEIV administers the National Energy
Efficiency Coordination Body (NKT) and is an important component of the future system of energy efficiency
obligations in the Republic of Croatia.
MCC-3: Promoting the use of innovative information and communication technologies (ICTs) in order to
reducing emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases
Innovative ICT technologies have an increasingly important role to play in reducing emissions of pollutants and
greenhouse gases and increasing energy efficiency. Through intensification of their use in public administration,
services and production processes, labour productivity and efficiency will increase while reducing energy
consumption and resulting emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. The measure is expected to increase the
uptake of innovative ICT and monitoring of real energy savings, as well as a reduction in pollutant and
greenhouse gas emissions.
MCC-4: European Emissions Trading System
The European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) includes all activities listed in Annex I of the greenhouse gas
emission allowance trading scheme (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 69/12
and 154/14), and for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the operators of installations are responsible for the
trading system. Through an equitable distribution of allowances, the reduction commitments are distributed to all
Member States, with the aim of contributing to a 21 % reduction by 2020 compared to 2005. This shows how the
reduction of emissions from activities within the EU ETS is regulated at EU level.
Since 1.1.2013, operators of plants in the Republic of Croatia have been involved in the EU ETS, have obtained
permits for greenhouse gas emissions and have established a system for monitoring emissions and reporting to the
competent authority. Greenhouse gases covered by the EU ETS are: Carbon dioxide (CO 2) for all activities and
additionally, for certain activities, nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).Monitoring and reporting of
emissions is also an obligation for aircraft operators for carbon dioxide emissions.
Monitoring and reporting of emissions from aircraft started formally on 1 July 2013 for aircraft operators in the
Republic of Croatia. However, due to some specificities related to the administration of aviation flights prior to the
accession of Croatia to the European Union, aircraft operators had the obligation to submit annual reports on
emissions from the aircraft as from 2010.
All operators, except electricity producers, to sell to third parties have submitted applications for free credits. Free
units shall be distributed, free of charge, to installations exposed to the risk of carbon leakage to third countries,
on the basis of criteria established in accordance with the reference value for the 10 % most efficient installations
in the same sector. Operators, who will not have a sufficient number of units to cover their greenhouse gases, have
the option of purchasing allowances through auctions.
MCC-5: Use of proceeds from the auctioning of allowances within the EU
ETS for measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Out of the total number of allocation units assigned to operators and aircraft operators, each year of the trading
period shall be distributed free of charge in accordance with the method referred to above. The remainder is
distributed to Member States EU and subject to public tenders.
The Air Protection Act (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 130/11, 47/14,
61/17) requires the Republic of Croatia to use for climate purposes 95 % of the funds received by the Republic of
Croatia into a special account under the FPS, and 5 % of the funds are paid to the state budget of the Republic of
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
164
Croatia. The funds paid to the special account in the FPS should be used for:
- greenhouse gas emissions reduction,
- climate change adaptation,
- financing climate change abatement measures and adaptation in third countries,
- financing renewable energy sources with the objective of achieving the share of renewable energy sources of
the Republic of Croatia in 2020,
- forest resources improvement and reports on the forestry sector,
- promoting low-emission transport and public transport,
- financing research and development intended for climate change abatement and climate change adaptation,
including aeronautics and air transport,
- ecologically safe carbon dioxide capture and storage, particularly from fossil fuel power plants and certain
industrial sectors and sub-sectors, including those in third countries,
- financing research and development in the area of energy efficiency and clean technology,
- financing research and development in the area of reporting on greenhouse gas emissions,
- promoting energy efficiency measures in the sectors of construction (particularly energy efficiency building
renovation), industry, transport and services, and
- ensuring financial support for measures contributing to addressing energy poverty.
The appropriations to be paid to the State budget should be used to cover the costs of operating the ETS, for
administrative purposes, for the functioning of the Union Registry, for the auction managers, the National System
for the Monitoring of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and other issues related to climate change.
The plan to use the proceeds from the auctioning of allowances in Croatia for the period 2014-2016 has been
adopted by the Croatian Government (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No
140/14).The total income generated for the period 2014-2016 is HRK 733.984.921,23, they were used for renewable
energy, energy efficiency, transport, waste management, and research, development and expertise.
The 2020 budget for the use of the auctioning of funds was adopted in February 2018 and aims at HRK
825.000.000,00. These resources will be spent on mitigation and adaptation measures.
MCC-6: Conducting interdisciplinary research the potential for geological storage CO 2 in
Republic of Croatia
The technology of carbon capture and storage for large emission sources is not yet commercially available.
Commercial applications are expected to take place in the post-2020 period.
According to Directive 2009/31/EC on the geological storage of carbon dioxide, i.e. Article 36. For the industrial
emissions Directives 2010/75/EU, for plants with a capacity larger than 300 MW given building permit after the
entry into force of Directive 2009/31/EK, it is necessary to assess whether the following conditions are met:
- suitable storage locations available
- transport installations are technically and economically feasible;
- Upgrading of CO 2 collection plant is technically and economically feasible
If these conditions are met, the competent authority shall provide at the location of the facility an adequate area of
the equipment for the capture and compression of the extracted CO 2 capture.
For new thermal power plants, national feasibility studies are planned to be carried out with an action plan for
preparatory activities for CCS projects. This study will cover the steps of capture of emissions, transport, injection
and storage.
MCC-7: Energy efficiency obligation scheme
Pursuant to the provisions of Directive 2012/27/EU, the Act on energy efficiency (Narodne novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 127/14), 3 and 4The national energy efficiency action plan, the Republic of
Croatia is planning to set up a system of energy efficiency obligations for energy suppliers. Obliged entities will
need to contribute to the energy savings in final energy consumption.
MCC-8: Environmental permits
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
165
The Environmental Permit Decree (Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 8/14 and

for environmental permits, the contents of the Baseline Report, the list of pollutants, the criteria used to determine
BAT, the method of determining BAT, the method for determining BAT, the deadlines for applying BAT, and
other related issues.
MCC-9: Emission levy on 2 and NOx for individual sources
The unit fee regulation, the correction coefficients and the closer criteria and criteria for determining the
compensation for the emission into the environment of sulphur oxides expressed as sulphur dioxide and oxides of
sulphur (NN Nos 71/14 and 115/15) set the unit fee, the correction coefficients and the closer criteria and criteria
for determining the emission allowance into the environment of sulphur oxides expressed as sulphur dioxide (SO 2)
and oxides of nitrogen expressed as nitrogen dioxide (NO 2).The individual sources of SO-2 emissions to air are
technological processes, industrial facilities, devices and objects that release SO 2 to air of more than 100 kg/year
until the end of 2014 and 3.000 kg per year from 2015. The individual sources of emissions of NO 2 into the air are
technological processes, industrial plants, devices and facilities which emit NO 2 to air of more than 30 kg per year
until the end of 2014 and 600 kg per year from 2015.
MCC-10: Identification and control of air pollutant emission limits in the air from stationary sources
The establishment and control of air pollutant emission limits from stationary sources is regulated by the Decree
on emission limit values for air pollutants from stationary sources (Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the
Republic of Croatia) No 87/17) and the Rules on monitoring of emissions of air pollutants from stationary sources
(Narodne novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 129/12 and 97/13).
The Decree on emission limit values for pollutants into the air from stationary sources (Narodne Novine (NN;
official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) No 87/17) provides for limit values for emissions of pollutants into the
air from stationary sources, monitoring and evaluation of emissions, the registration of data on fixed assets using
organic solvents, or products containing VOCs in the register, the way in which emissions of pollutants are
reduced in the air, the method of reporting the emissions to air, the method and the time limit for submitting
emissions reports to the GMP, the manner of communicating the data to the competent authorities of the EU and
the level allowed to exceed the limit values for existing sources, for a given period.
The Rules on monitoring of emissions of air pollutants from stationary sources (Narodne Novine (NN; official
Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 129/12, 97/13) provide a method of monitoring emissions of pollutants into
the air from stationary sources, the extent and types of measurements, reference methods for measurement, the
method for proving equivalence for other measurement methods, the means to verify the correctness and
calibration of measuring instruments, how to verify the correct measurement systems for measuring emissions of
pollutants into the air from stationary sources, the sampling procedure and the evaluation of the results of

Table P 2-1: Assumptions for projections — Energy and Turnover
Energy and TRANSPORT
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
166
As indicated in Chapter 3, the greenhouse gas emission projections for this report are taken from the draft Strategy for Low
Carbon Development of the Republic of Croatia until 2030 with a view to the year 2050. A more detailed description of the
methodology used is presented below.
1Final (end-use)
energy
consumption End-use energy consumption is projected across consumption sectors — industry, transport, services,
households and agriculture, fisheries and forestry. The basis for projections is the macroeconomic
parameters and the guidance given by the EC to the Member States in order to harmonise key
parameters. For the end-use modelling activity, the detailed sectoral models shall be used with a
bottom-up approach based on which the impacts of energy efficiency measures can be simulated [15]
[16] [17] and calibrated with 2014 consumption. The performance of energy consumption modelling
was used as input for the analysis of energy transformation. Additionally, modelling has also included
the interdependence of demand for the production of energy from variable renewable energy sources,
this mainly refers to simulations of electric vehicles batteries to optimise electricity and transport
systems and the use of electric heat storage boilers to optimise electricity heat system operation.
In scenarios “with measures” and “with additional measures” the impacts of each measure are
modelled. Analyses have been carried out by sub-sector:
- industry — by industry and the type of fuel used, - transport — by type of transport (road, air, shipping and rail) and types of transport (cars, buses,
motorcycles, light and heavy vans) or for use (passenger and freight) and by type of technology
and fuel used - services — by branch (tourism, trade, education, health, administration), climatic sites (coastal and
continental Croatia), use (heating, domestic hot water generation, cooking, cooling, electrical
appliances and lighting) and by type of fuel used. Heating energy consumption modelled at the
level of useful and immediate energy - households — by climate zones (coastal and continental Croatia), for use (heating, DHW
generation, cooking, cooling, electrical appliances and lighting) and by type of fuel used. Heating
energy consumption modelled at the level of useful and immediate energy - agriculture, fishery and forestry — by type of fuel used
Demographic developments — the average fertility and average migration scenarios were assumed, in
line with the EC Guidelines.
The “measures” scenario
1.1.1. Energy consumption
in industry Assumptions:
- the development of industrial production will not be based on energy intensive industries,
balanced market-based mechanisms will steer the development towards a less intensive intensive
industry with no scarcity of energy intensive industry; - the trend in gross value added by industry is based on harmonised parameters for projections made
from the EC [21]. - market improvements in energy efficiency and fuel substitution in the industrial sector; - emissions per sub-sector are growing alongside economic growth, but growth has been moderate
due to the decrease in connectivity between GDP and energy consumption and the assumption that
there will be no construction of new energy-intensive industries. 1.1.2. Energy consumption
in transport Assumptions:
- the growth in the number of cars per 1.000 inhabitants, with 328 in 2012 [ODYSSEE] to 520 in
2050; - existing road infrastructure is mostly built; - the fastest growth in passenger transport will be in air traffic; - emissions from new vehicles will comply with Regulation (EU) No 333/2014 for private vehicles,
i.e. the average emissions of new vehicles will be below 95 g CO2/km and in accordance with EU
Regulation No. 510/2011 according to which emissions of new light delivery vehicles must fall below 174 g CO2/km
after 2017 and below 147 gCO2/km after 2020. - stagnation in the use of rail transport and inland waterways, - 6 % of the passenger cars will be electric vehicles in 2050 (under EU reference scenario 2016).
1.1.3. Energy consumption
in Assumptions: Households and services:
MZOIP Air pollution control programme
167
Energy and TRANSPORT
general consumption - According to the existing data, in 2012 Croatia was 142,2 million in 2 residential buildings and
homes (Dugoric strategy to stimulate investment in the renovation of the national building stock,
NN No 74/14).Growth is assumed to increase slowly with the economy recovery of between 8.5 %
and 2030 years and by 10.6 % by 2050, despite the projected population decline. Most of the new
areas will be urban buildings in urban areas. - renovation of 0.5 % of the area of the stock of residential buildings per year to the standards
referred to in the Technical Regulation on rational energy use and thermal insulation in buildings
(NN Nos 128/15, 70/18,73/18), - any new buildings constructed in accordance with the same Regulation, - reduce the share of electricity and liquid heating fuels, - the electric energy consumption of the household appliances and cooling (air-conditioning) power
plants will grow, - the specific energy consumption for preparing food in households will stagnate.
Agriculture, forestry and fisheries: - reduce energy intensity with regard to market developments.
1.2“with additional measures” scenario
Continue to encourage energy efficiency beyond 2020, with the following key assumptions: - renovation of 2 % of buildings per year to the ready-made rovo-biofuel standard (it also includes
the use of renewable energy sources); - aid for the increase in the share of electric vehicles operating up to 25 % in passenger cars in 2050; - intermodal replacement of 7 % of passenger traffic and cargo from road to rail in 2030 and 20 %
in 2050, - improving the energy efficiency of the industry together with fuel substitution towards more
renewable energy sources. 2Energy
Transformation
and Resources
The electricity system is analysed by simulation of the development of the market, using a software to
optimise operation and development. EU ETS emission allowance price is assumed as in the EU
reference scenario in 2016. The refinery operation was simulated in order to meet domestic demand as far as possible with existing
capacities, meaning without the construction of new refineries in a “absence of measures” scenario, and
to reduce production in scenarios “with existing measures” and “with additional measures”. 2.1The “measures” scenario
Assumptions: - by 2020, the installed renewable energy generation capacity in accordance with the National Renewable
Energy Action Plan (2013) and the Tariff System for Renewable Energy Sources and Efficiency
(Narodne Novine (NN; official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia) Nos 133/13, 151/13, 20/14, 107/14
and 100/15) (NB: Date of expiry: In 01.01.2016, except for project holders who, until the date of entry
into force of the Act on Renewable Energy Sources and highly efficient cogeneration (NN No 100/15),
entered into a contract for the purchase of electricity with an operator of the electricity market), - it simulated market developments after 2020 with a view to optimise the operation and
development of the electricity system. - the price of emission allowances was assumed as in the EU Reference scenario 2016. - the analysis shows that renewables will be competitive and without the need for public support to
solar and wind farms. - no new coal-fired capacity, - all electricity needs will be paid from indigenous sources (excluding the Krško nuclear power
plant) after 2030, which significantly increases the need for electricity production, given that the
Republic of Croatia consumes 2535 % of the consumption. - the plans of the companies responsible for checking fugitive emissions for the application of the
fugitive emission reduction measures have been taken into account. 2.2“with additional measures” scenario
Assumptions include continuous policy developments in promoting renewable energy sources beyond
2020: - it simulated market development of software to optimise the operation and development of the
electricity system. - the price of emission allowances was assumed as in the EU Reference scenario 2016.

feed materials and promotion of grazing systems, processing of feed materials to increase
digestibility, use of feed additives)
“with additional measures” scenario implies the application of the following measures:
- further improvements in the quality of animal feed and food
- changes in manure management systems, including aerobic digestion and biogas production,
- the improvement of the methods for applying mineral fertilisers;
Energy and TRANSPORT
- due to lower energy consumption compared to the “with measures” scenario due to the increase in
energy efficiency, the costs of achieving a higher share of renewables in gross final consumption
expenditure are lower; - no new coal-fired capacity, - no net import (excluding the Krško nuclear power plant) after 2030.
Table P 2-2: Assumptions for projections — Production processes and use of the product
PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND SOLVENT USE
The projections have been carried out on the basis of the expected development of individual industries,
including targets for 2035, and towards GDP and population development. The extium flow of 2015 (The 2015 Ageing Report) — the annual growth rate of GDP and gross
value added and population decline), as well as the results of sector analyses and studies (cement, lime,
ammonia, sulphuric acid, nitric acid production). Assumptions for the “measures” scenario:
- no additional capacity installed; - production will reach maximum values up to 2035. - Population decline - GDP is growing at a moderate pace
The Croatian Industrial Strategy 2014— 2020 defines the industrial development objectives and key
indicators of the Croatian industry in the period 2014.— 2020According to the “real scenario”, by 2020,
when the highest level of development in Croatia’s economy is achieved, the physical volume of
industrial output was assumed to be achieved in 2008. Process emissions from economic activities included, in accordance with the IPCC methodology, shall
be assessed on the basis of detailed sectoral projections of cement, ammonia and nitric acid, and
projected macroeconomic indicators of gross value added by other industries, the annual growth rate of
GDP and population reduction. The scenario covers the application of measures defined by the strategic
and planning sectoral documents included in the commercial policy of cement and nitric acid producers,
as required by the markets, legal and regulatory requirements and the application of best available
techniques in the production processes. Assumptions for the “additional measures” scenario:
— Application of cost-effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cement, glass and
nitric acid, and to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds, controlled substances and
fluorinated greenhouse gases. In good practice, the projections for activity data and emission factors were made:
- activity data — Level 1, 2 and 3 projections methodologies used (projections of macroeconomic
parameters, impact of PAM, sectoral analyses and studies); - emission factors — Level 1 and 2 projections methodologies used (projection based on average
over five years, PAM, sectoral analyses and studies).
Table P 2-3: Assumptions for projections — Agriculture
AGRICULTURE
The projections were carried out on the basis of the expected future state of play. In order to determine the key parameters for the production of projections (livestock numbers and
species, crop production) an extrapolation of historical input data, as well as an expert evaluation
comprising historical data and sectoral strategic and development documents, was used. The assumptions are that there will be an increase in agricultural production (the start of revitalising the
livestock stock for the period 2015-2020. Years with a continued growth of populations by 2035, as well
as crop production on the basis of indicative trend over 2000-2009), and sustainable consumption of
mineral fertilisers (at the 2007-2014 level). PAM included in the development of the “with measures” scenario implies:
— Implementation of the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme, including changes to the systems for
managing bovine animals (manure removal systems and genetic improvement) and animal feed (treating
feed materials to increase digestibility, quality improvement by volume
MZOIP Air pollution control programme

- hydraulic operations;
- the introduction of new cultivars, varieties and species. __________________________________
Table P 2-4: Assumptions for projections — Waste
WASTE
The projections were carried out on the basis of the expected developments and future state of play of the parameters for the
projection:
- Solid waste disposal — the amount of solid waste produced and deposited, the proportion of biodegradable organic
waste;
- Composting — amount of waste processed through composting;
- Incineration of waste — the quantity of hospital hospitalisation and the number of human bodies transferred;
- Waste water management — quantity of household waste water handled, industrial production, number of
inhabitants using the individual wastewater system (septic tanks), population size of households without sanitary
nodes.
The 2015 projections for emissions projections and the projection of macroeconomic parameters ( The 2015 Ageing
Report) — the annual growth rate of GDP and gross added value and the decline in population, which include targets for
2050.
Assumptions for ‘with Measures’ (WM) scenario:
It includes projections of greenhouse gas (GHG) and pollutant emissions from solid waste, composting of solid waste, for waste
incineration and waste water management;
- Solid waste disposal — a sustained increase in the amount of solid waste produced and deposited in the period up to
2050 is assumed due to an increase in living standards, despite the effects of the measures taken to avoid/reduce and
recycle waste. The targets are defined by sectoral strategic documents — the Sustainable Waste Management Act
and the Waste management plan of Croatia for the period 2017.— 2022;
- Composting — a continuous increase of solid waste generated through composting is assumed;
- Waste incineration — a sustained increase in the amount of hospital waste incinerated and a reduction in the number
of human bodies created;
- Waste water management — a continuous increase in the volume of waste water processed by industry and a
decrease in the quantity of household waste water treated by households, the number of population with the
individual sewerage system (septic tanks) and the population of households without sanitary nodes is assumed.
- Other waste — assumed a mild continuous increase in the number of fires in almost all categories.
Greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions included in the Waste sector (according to IPCC and EMEP/EEA methodology)
have been assessed on the basis of sector analyses and projected macroeconomic indicators on the annual rate of GDP
growth and population reduction. The scenario covers the application of measures defined by the strategic and planning
sector-specific documents.
Assumptions for “additional measures” scenario (WAM):
It includes projections of greenhouse gas (GHG) and pollutant emissions from solid waste disposal and composting of
solid waste.
- Solid waste disposal — a reduction in the amount of solid waste produced and deposited is presumed to be due to the
application of measures defined by strategic documents that are compatible with EU legislation. Quantitative targets
for the quantity and composition of solid waste and other parameters in the models for estimating emissions from
solid waste which are not defined in strategic documents have been estimated by the expert evaluation.
- Composting — assumes a continuous increase in solid waste generated through composting for measures defined by
strategic documents that are in line with EU legislation (depending on the reduction of the amount of biodegradable
waste deposited).
In good practice, projections for activity data, the emission factors and the parameters included in models for the
estimation of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions are:
— Level 1, 2 and 3 projections methodologies have been used (projections of macroeconomic parameters, _______
impact of PAM, sectoral analyses and studies, expert valuation). _____________________________________________
