Presentation Working Group 1

Priority Issues

• Monitoring and control system for FQ- Increase mobile monitoring equipment- Train the staff for sampling and testing when

there is new equipment- Institutional framework – appointment of a body

with equipment (computer, software, calibration, maintenance – often forgotten)

- Information dissemination- Sharing existing national and international info

Overall Responsibilities on FQ Control

• Get copies of recommendations and procedures for FQ monitoring that already existed

• Spread list of participants

• Initiate projects including FQM issues and apply to financial sources including internal ones

Effective Control on Vehicle Emissions

• Presentation of implementation programme in front of commission – can help candidate countries during negotiation

• Good annual measurements and regular control on vehicle emissions

• Increase the number of ad hoc checks• Monitoring stations• Ask for additional financial support• Equip technical inspections with all increasing tools and

equipment for emissions testing

Financial Incentives

Creation of New Standards on Fuel Quality

why, how)• Identify obstacles/barriers• Plans to overcome the barriers• Develop national standards and Rulebook for

standard implementation• Raising of awareness on the new FQ standards

• Safe disposal of lead petrol equipment – simple melting is not applicable, effective disposal is expensive, proper procedure – companies, funding, international initiative for that

Ideas for Follow up Steps

• Create a process where process is going to be done

• There are opportunities (VROM, PCFV, USEPA) but we need to be clear on objectives

• Spread the message on the specific needs of the region

• Encouragement for participants to join the PCFV• Role of PCFV – technical advice, small financial

support, information tools, etc.
