The 2005 Law on Environment (LE) regulates areas of relevance for air quality and air emissions, especially in the sections on monitoring, environmental impact assessment and integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC). Enforcement of IPPC procedures will contribute to reduction of air pollutant emissions.
The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has initiated the establishment of an IPPC system, by transposing the EU Directive 96/61/ЕC on IPPC into the LE. Three chapters of the LE refer to:
The LE regulates the issue of A-integrated environmental permits[1]. In order to start operating, new installations are obliged to have fulfilled the conditions of an integrated environmental permit, while existing installations have a deadline for preparation of adjustment plans for achieving compliance. The adjustment permit is the basis for gradual improvements up to the compliance requirements under the IPPC for existing installations. Issuing of the adjustment permits is performed by the Administration for Environment and control of the implementation of the conditions regulated by the permits is carried out by the State Inspectorate.
The Law on Ambient Air Quality provides a number of bylaws for adoption. So far, the following have been adopted and implemented:

On another hand the B permits are for smaller installations and issued by local self-governmental units.
