IPPU Sector It is essential for the drawing up of strategic documents on the development of the Romanian industry to also consider the need for a GHG emission analysis. The reduction of emissions from Industrial Processes shall mainly be carried out through the enforcement of measures on increasing energy efficiency stipulated in the NAPEE, by optimizing technological flows and promoting green technologies. Measures on the reduction of energy intensity identified by NAPEE for the industry sector include: • Energy audits and efficient energy management • Improving energy efficiency by supporting financing from European union funds • Information campaigns • Long term volunteer agreements in various sectors of the processing industry. Romania’s Sustainable Development Strategy 2030, approved by GD no. 877/2018, within the Objective 9 Industry, innovation and infrastructure establishes the following 2030 national targets that directly influence the GHG emissions: • Rehabilitate the industrial sector to make it sustainable through a more efficient use of resources and increased adoption of clean and ecological industrial technologies and processes • Boost the scientific research and modernize the technological capacity of the industrial sectors • Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and increase the rate of employment. By implementing adequate economic policy instruments between 2008 and 2030, the productivity of the used material and energy resources shall increase by a 3÷4% annual average rate, by reducing the shares of the energy- intensive sub-sectors, through the upgrade of technologies and management development. Considering that Europe requires a strong, competitive, and innovative industry to be internationally competitive, based on excellence, clusters and cluster networks were promoted, as key factors of innovation and economic growth, through the development of a collaborative and multi-sectoral approach and through the stimulation of interactions between innovative participants. Through public funds, the Romanian Government shall support the increase of competitiveness in industrial enterprises, the production of high added value products, the production of exported products, and respecting the environmental operating permits. The industrial policy aims to implement the best technologies to increase energy efficiency and provide quality products for competitive prices, in accordance with environmental permits. The result is that the industrial processes require re-engineering operations and the use of new technologies for the efficient processing of raw material and energy resources, leading to the reduction of GHG emissions. Regulation no. 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) which repeal Regulation No. 842/2006 are applying since 1 January 2015 and aim to reduce these emissions by two thirds in 2030 compared to 2015 levels. 29 Regulation lays down rules on the containment, use, recovery and destruction of F gases and prohibits the sale of certain products containing F-gases. Also, sets an annual limit on the overall climate impact of HFC which will be phased out between 2015 and 2030. The Regulation establishes the following obligations: • Prohibits the deliberate release of F gases if it is not technically necessary for the intended use of a product; manufacturers must strive to limit emissions during production, transport and storage of F gases • Operators of equipment containing F gases must take every precaution possible to prevent any leakage and must ensure that equipment are regularly checked for leakage; requirements vary depending on the potential impact on the climate or how hermetically sealed they are • National authorities are responsible for establishing training and certification programs for businesses and individuals involved in the installation, providing the service, maintenance, repair or decommissioning of equipment containing F gases, and recovery • From 2015 until 2025, are phased ban on the sale of new items, such as certain types of refrigerators and freezers, air conditioning systems, foams and aerosols containing F gases, where safer and less polluting alternatives exist • Annual limit for HCF quantities placed on the market in 2030 represent 21% of 2009-2012 levels; to ensure the compliance with the limits the Commission allocates producers and importers annual quotas which must not be exceeded • Manufacturers, importers, exporters, users and businesses that destroy F gases must report annually to the Commission; importers of equipment containing F gases must do the same and, from 2017 must present evidence on accounting of the quantities of HFCs contained in imported equipment. Directive 40/2006/EC (MAC Directive) on emissions from air conditioning systems of the motor vehicles provides the gradual replacement of air-conditioning systems using HFC-134a. It also limit the possibility of retrofitting motor vehicles with air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150 and prohibit the charging of the air conditioning systems with such gases. Automotive manufacturers must provide the competent authority all relevant technical information regarding the installed air conditioning systems and the gases used in the respective systems. If air conditioning systems designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases with a global warming potential higher than 150, the manufacturer must make available the leakage rate of these systems. The measures provided for in this Directive are expected to take effect from 2011. Romania has adopted the Montreal Protocol Amendment on substances that deplete the ozone layer (Kigali Amendment, 2016) by Law no. 30/2020 published in the Official Gazette. no. 275/2 Apr. 2020. The Kigali Amendment sets emission limits for substances in category F (HFCs and HCFCs) by 2045.

Agriculture Sector The National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Romania - Horizon 2013 - 2020 - 2030 (GD no. 1460/2008) focuses on the field of agriculture and food production on ensuring food security and food safety. Agriculture continues to play an important role in ensuring the income of a significant part of the active population. It will have to promote a sustainable production model with the protection of ecosystems and ensure the sustainability of food production, the reduction and elimination of imbalances on the agricultural market generated by the way natural resources are used, ensuring better capitalization of the advantages available to Romanian agriculture. Within the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Romania for agriculture and forestry, the following national objectives are considered: • Horizon 2030. Full adoption of Community policies and practices in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; completing the restructuring and modernization of these sectors and the rural area. The National Rural Development Program 2014-2020 was approved according to the European Commission's Implementation Decision no C (2015)3508 of 26 May 2015, as amended. This program continues the efforts necessary for the development of the rural area made through the previous program (2007-2013) through the strategic approach of the following objectives: • restructuring and increasing the viability of agricultural holdings • sustainable management of natural resources and combating climate change • diversifying economic activities, creating jobs, improving infrastructure and services to improve the quality of life in rural areas. 31 These objectives comply with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement and agree with the Common Agricultural Policy and the Europe 2020 Strategy. The fulfillment of these objectives is achieved in the period 2014-2020 through the six EU priorities established in the framework of the Rural Development Regulation (1305/2013): • encouraging knowledge transfer and innovation in agriculture, forestry, and rural areas (P1) • increasing the viability of holdings and the competitiveness of all types of agriculture in all regions and the promotion of innovative agricultural technologies and sustainable forest management (P2) • promoting the organization of the food chain, including the processing and marketing of agricultural products, animal welfare and risk management in agriculture (P3) • restoring, conserving, and strengthening ecosystems that are linked to agriculture and forestry (P4) • promoting the efficient use of resources and supporting the transition to an economy with low carbon emissions and resilience to climate change in the agricultural, food and forestry sectors (P5) • promoting social inclusion, poverty reduction and economic development in rural areas (P6). All these priorities have been transposed through areas of intervention and facilitate the achievement of objectives related to innovation, environmental protection and mitigating the effects of climate change and adapting to them. In 2015, it was issued to the Order of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Minister of Environment, Water and Forests and the president of the National Veterinary Sanitary and Food Safety Authority no. 352/636/54/2015 for the approval of the rules regarding eco-conditionality within the schemes and support measures for farmers in Romania, with subsequent amendments. The rules in the annex to the Order are drawn up pursuant to art. 93 and 94, respectively annex II of Regulation (EU) no. 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Regulations (EEC) no 352/78, (EC) no 165/94, (EC) no 2.799/98, (EC) no 814/2000, (EC) no 1,290/2005 and (EC) no 485/2008 of the Council.
