Within the scope of the By Law, there are twenty-one licensing issues under five
different fields (Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, 2015: 17):
• Recovery (hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste, waste oil, waste vegetable
oil, waste batteries and accumulators, expired tyres, waste packaging);
• Disposal (waste incineration and co-incineration, plants for advanced thermal
processing [pyrolysis, gasification], regular storage);
• Interim storage (plants for interim storage);
• Treatment (medical waste sterilization, packaging waste collection and separation, recycling plants for ships, plants for fuel derived from waste, tanker sanitization, treatment of metal and expired vehicles, temporary storage for expired
vehicles, electronic equipment waste, facilities for waste admissions);
• Purification (Polychlorinated biphenyl [PCB] Purification).
According to the Environmental Inspection Report, since the integrated
approach began in 2010, 14,380 activities or facilities in total have been granted by
PAC, and 10,320 activities or facilities have been granted by Environmental Permit
or Environmental Permit and Licence Certificate (Ministry of Environment and
Urbanization, 2015: 18).
With regard to import and export permits and other related activities, the following can be listed as examples:
• Scrap Metal Importer Certificates – regulated pursuant to Art. 4 (1,3),
Communiqué on Import Inspection of Metal Scraps That are Under Control
Relating to Protection of Environment.
• Registration Certificates of Importers of Solid Fuels – regulated under Art. 4,
Communiqué on Import Inspection of Solid Fuels That are Under Control
Relating to Protection of Environment.
• Transactions concerning hazardous waste export/import – regulated under Art.
22, 23 of the By-Law on the Management of Waste.
• Ensuring import of batteries and accumulators in conformity with the Art. 24 of
the By-Law on the Control of Used Batteries and Accumulators.
6.3 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Applications
and Decisions
Based on Art. 10(1), Environment Act, the institutions, agencies and facilities that
have the potential to cause environmental problems due to their planned activities
and projects have to prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment Report or
Project Introduction File.
The details concerning the preparation of these reports are provided in the
By-Laws (Art. 10(3)). As the first By-Law on the issue entered into force in 1993,
the implementation of the related procedures on the EIA became possible ten years
