In order to assess current situation in the Country and develop cost recovery system which would allow the Country to meet challenges of the sector, the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning (MoEPP) as a main competent authority ensuring approximation of European environmental legislation, initiated project for development of National Water Tariff Study, under the Financing Agreement concerning Multi-Annual Operational Programme ‘Regional Development’ for Community Assistance from the Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA).
The EU funded project “Development of National Water Tariff Study” started on 7th of May 2013. The implementation period was 20 months and the Project was implemented by the Consortium composed of Eptisa and Geing. The Project supported national authorities in analysis of the existing situation in the sector, development of concepts for reforming water sector cost recovery system, developing of the Economic Instrument to address challenges investing and operating water sector infrastructure, developing revised system for cost recovery, and developing the Action Plan for implementation of the proposed reform.
The proposed reform is based on the best experiences and practices from EU countries but with proper consideration of national context. Active participation of pilot water utilities from Skopje, Kumanovo and Prilep allowed ensuring that the outputs, results and structures developed as part of the project are sustainable – i.e. credible, realistic and suited to local conditions, resources and capabilities. During whole project implementation it was ensured that relevant stakeholders are properly involved and that their opinions and observations are taken into full consideration.
As a result of the Project, following main policy changes have been proposed:
Reform in setting tariffs for water services, including:
– New Law to establish required legal basis
– New Methodology for calculation and approval of tariffs
– Institutional system including establishment of the Regulator to support implementation of the new system
Reform of the pollution charges system:
– Revision of the Law on Waters to ensure that polluter pays for discharge of untreated waste water.
Sustainability of results of the Project will depend on:
1) Commitment of the Government to continue implementation of EU requirements and related reform of the water sector financing
2) Establishment of the institutional system, first of all, the Regulator as proposed in the Law on Law on setting of water service prices
3) Increased capacity at local level (both utility and municipality) in order to develop business plans and tariff adjustment plans
4) Support from the Government side to the local level in taking all necessary actions.
All these aspects were taken into consideration when developing the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Economic Instrument. Sustainability of the Project results will directly depend on timely implementation of activities foreseen in the Action Plan.
The Closing conference where the results of the project will be presented is scheduled to take place at the EU Info Centre premises on Thursday, 15 January 2014 at 11:00 hrs.
The agenda of the closing conference is attached.
