Slovenia to EU
1996: the Europe Agreement establishing an association

1998: the SI Parliament adopts National Programme for
Adoption of the Acquis Communautaire
1999-2002: the EU environmental legislation was
transposed to the national legislation through:
- the Environmental Protection Act (EPA),
- the Water Act and
- the corresponding Ordinances and Decrees,
by which the sector specific EU standards and corresponding
implementation schemes and time periods were defined

UWWTD STATUS
Pre-accession negotiations with EU
The targets which the EU seeks to attain in the area of urban waste water
treatment are set out in the Urban Waste Water Directive(91/271/EEC,
98/15/EC).
In their pre-accession negotiations with the EU (1999-2001)
agreement guaranteeing that Slovenia would meet these targets with a
certain deferment. This is primarily a consequence of the fact that in order
to reach the targets set out by the Council Directive on urban waste water
treatment Slovenia would need major financial input and time to build the
infrastructure.
(By DISAE studies of EU the neccesary financial input to reach objectievs of
Urban Waste Water Directive amounts to 889 mio EUR (DISAE SLO-101).)
Main European legislation for waste
water
Main European legislation, which was necessary to include inside
legislation for waste water of Slovenia:
Urban Waste Water Directive (91/271/EEC, 98/15/EC)
Nitrates Directive (92/43/EEC)
Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC).
The following water quality Directives within the National
Programme for the Adoption of the Acquis Communautaire:
Sewage Sludge
Groundwater
Substances Dangerous to the Aquatic Environment
Shellfish
Fish Water
Surface Water for the Abstraction of Drinking Water
Bathing Water
The National Environmental
Action Programme for the discharge
and treatment of UWW
The National Environmental Action Programme for the discharge
and treatment of urban waste water (2005 – 2017)
Urban Waste Water Directive(91/271/EEC, 98/15/EC)
o Collection and treatment of waste water in all agglomerations of >2000 p.e.
o Tertiary treatment for agglomerations >10 000 p.e. in designated sensitive
areas and their catchments
Water Framework Directive(2000/60/EC).
o
obligations for achieving “good water status” for chemical parameters (i.e. low
pollution levels) and ecological ones (healthy ecosystems) by 2015
o obigations in achieving neccesary quality standards for water, which is used for
drinking water supply
o prevention of evtrofication on sensitive areas and
o obigations in achieving neccesary environmental standards of water quality for
bathing waters
The National Environmental
Action Programme - Designation of
agglomerations
Designation of settlements or parts of settlements which have to be
connected to public waste water infrastructure (agglomerations)
