Waste and chemicals management

With regard to the system of data collection on waste, well-structured and valid statistical information is expected to be collected when EU-compatible methodology is implemented on all waste streams, through an integrated online system of record keeping. Reporting on waste management by operators is not usually done by appointed and trained persons, based on clear methodology. Some waste reporting systems exist and are managed by NEPA, the Environmental Fund and public administrations. However, the lack of an integrated online system of record keeping does not enable crosschecking of data reported, such as generator vs operator, forwarder vs receiver, sharing one data source among institutions. Such a system is not implemented in Romania.
