Ukraine Tests New IT System for Issuing Integrated Permits in Line with EU Requirements

Project News

In May, with the sup­port of the “Best Avail­able Tech­niques (BAT) for Ukraine” project, test­ing began for a new IT sys­tem designed to issue inte­grat­ed envi­ron­men­tal per­mits for large indus­tri­al enter­pris­es. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives of major indus­tri­al facil­i­ties par­tic­i­pat­ed in the first round of test­ing, and the sec­ond round — open to rep­re­sen­ta­tives of civ­il soci­ety — has now been announced.

The new IT sys­tem is being devel­oped to auto­mate, increase trans­paren­cy, and improve the effi­cien­cy of the per­mit­ting process for the biggest indus­tri­al enter­pris­es. The Min­istry of Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion and Nat­ur­al Resources of Ukraine is invit­ing rep­re­sen­ta­tives of civ­il soci­ety to take part in this sec­ond test­ing phase. The intro­duc­tion of this sys­tem is a part of Ukraine’s broad­er reform to reduce and con­trol indus­tri­al pol­lu­tion in align­ment with EU inte­gra­tion com­mit­ments.

To par­tic­i­pate in the test­ing, inter­est­ed indi­vid­u­als must com­plete a Google reg­is­tra­tion form. Reg­is­tra­tion is open until 30 May 2025.

Dur­ing the first round of test­ing, indus­tri­al rep­re­sen­ta­tives were invit­ed to try out the sys­tem. Their par­tic­i­pa­tion helped busi­ness­es bet­ter pre­pare for sub­mit­ting inte­grat­ed per­mit appli­ca­tions and allowed devel­op­ers to eval­u­ate the system’s func­tion­al­i­ty and log­ic.

The new online per­mit­ting sys­tem, devel­oped in accor­dance with EU leg­is­la­tion, is expect­ed to come into force in August 2025.

The “Best Avail­able Tech­niques (BAT) for Ukraine” project has also devel­oped a finan­cial mech­a­nism to sup­port invest­ments in pol­lu­tion-reduc­tion tech­nolo­gies. With the project’s sup­port, four Ukrain­ian indus­tri­al enter­pris­es from var­i­ous sec­tors are already imple­ment­ing best avail­able tech­niques, and Ukraine con­tin­ues adapt­ing its leg­is­la­tion in line with the EU Indus­tri­al Emis­sions Direc­tive (Direc­tive 2010/75/EU).

The project “Best Avail­able Tech­niques (BAT) for Ukraine” imple­ment­ed by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Inter­na­tionale Zusam­me­nar­beit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of Fed­er­al Min­istry for the Envi­ron­ment, Cli­mate Action, Nature Con­ser­va­tion and Nuclear Safe­ty (BMUKN).

By sign­ing an Asso­ci­a­tion Agree­ment with the Euro­pean Union, Ukraine has agreed to com­ply with EU cli­mate tar­gets and the Indus­tri­al Emis­sions Direc­tive (IED). A key aspect of achiev­ing these nation­al cli­mate tar­gets will be ensur­ing that best-avail­able tech­niques (BAT) are deployed in the country’s indus­tri­al infra­struc­ture.
