• Law on Environment (framework act), 2005
• Rulebook on the content of the State of Environment Report, 2006
• Draft Law on Waters
Legal base
State of Environment Reports
• Annual Report on all environmental media• Yearly indicators report
• SOER –every fourth year• MEIC is responsible for the SoER production. So far, two
reports have been developed, available only in electronic form:
SOER, 1998
SOER, 2000
• Next SOER - 2010
Presentation of Water Data• Publication of yearbook for hydrological and water quality data• Publication of selected data on the Internet (www.moepp.gov.mk)
Phase I- Identification and implementation of the EEA Core Set of Indicators
• CARDS Regional Program 2002 – supported by EEA
• Identification and implementation of the EEA Core Set of Indicators for WB Countries
• Under the Project, the Republic of Macedonia developed fact sheets on 11 indicators - 4 indicators on water
Phase II - Prepared indicators• The Draft National Set of Environmental Indicators was prepared on the basis
of the EEA Core Set of Indicators, i.e. indicators developed during Phase I • Each indicator is presented by a fact sheet, produced in accordance with the
template adopted by the European Environmental Agency.
• Total - 26 indicators
– Water (5 indicators)

• 12 Working Groups established under the decision of the Government
• Verification and update of draft indicators
• Extension of the list of environmental indicators by indicators specific on national level
• The total of 40 indicators developed expected to be adopted by the Government of the Republic of Macedonia by mid July this year
Legal basis
Current legislation
Law on Environment and Nature Protection and Improvement (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No. 07)
Law on Waters (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No. 4/98)
Secondary legislation
New laws – harmonized with EU
Draft Law on waters– under adoption procedure in the Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia and harmonized with the WFD, Nitrate Dir., Drinking Dir., Bathing Dir., Dangerous Sub., Dir., UWWTD, Sludge Dir etc.

Cadastre of polluters for wastewater
The general river monitoring strategy in Republic of Macedonia is based on international experience and modern concepts. The River Monitoring System Project (RIMSYS), a cooperation project between the governments of the Republic of Macedonia and Switzerland, is designed to revitalise the 40 year old national river monitoring system in Macedonia.
The project objectives are to establish good operating practices in the areas of water
discharge measurement, water sampling, chemical analysis, and the processing and publishing of the monitoring data.
Objectives of RIMSYS The main goal of RIMSYS is to provide • basis for an effective implementation of water
protection measures • and for successful river management in Macedonia.
The ongoing monitoring of rivers will allow the authorities in Macedonia to maintain
degree of control over the hydrological system, to identify sources of current and potential
pollution, to point out the ecological and, in the long term,
the economic drawbacks of water pollution and habitat destruction.
Monitoring Stations
RIMSYS monitoring network
• 20 monitoring stations at the main rivers
• equipped with modern measuring instruments
• teletransmission of data to the Institute (HMS)
• calibration tools
Indicators included in the measurement and analysis activities of the RIMSYS Project
