Setting priorities Kyoto protocol and Climate change policy are very important issues for the
public ( numbers of NGOs are involved in discussions and round tables) and therefore the politicians are putting this issue at the top of the priorities.
“Other policies have to be consistent and in line with Climate Change policy” Policies priorities are in many cases contradictive
Transport policy: “Transport contributes to increase of GDP and good infrastructure is key point for development of the economy”
Environmental policy: “ We need to reduce volume of road transport and transport emissions, transport sector is the biggest contributor to the air pollution”
Or Environmental policy, Climate change: “Diesel helps to reduce GHG
emissions” Environmental policy, Air Quality:”Diesel is bad for Air Quality”
Clear responsibilities for the policy implementation within the country Agreement with major stakeholders is needed to implement measures for
emissions reduction Almost all LCPs in Slovenia are state owned LCP welcome measures for reducing “air quality” emissions (a lot of measures
especially for reducing SO2 have been implemented )

Inventories review:
Checking NEC inventories and comparing with GHG inventories( are the same activity data used as for GHG emissions)
QA/QC of the NEC inventories ? Under CLRTAP convention there is no detailed
In-country review of the inventories !
Climate Change policy & Air Quality policy
Ensuring consistency between climate change policy and air quality policy Ensuring consistency between climate change policy and air quality policy can be very demanding.can be very demanding.
How many energy and emission scenarios do we haveHow many energy and emission scenarios do we have and do we use and do we use ? ? Is the same scenario used for Air Quality and Climate Change assessment ?Is the same scenario used for Air Quality and Climate Change assessment ?

Theoretically all LCPs can operate 8760 hours/year at full power (with allowed NOx or SOx concentration values).
The Ministry of the Environment will be avare of (the possible) exceedence when it will be too late (by the end od next year when NEC inventories are available.
It is obvious that additional “legislation” is needed in Slovenia to prevent possible exceeding of NEC limit values due to CO2 emission trading.(SOx, NOx emission allowances ?)
