INVESTMENT PROJECTS IPA

The topic “Environment” takes place under the “Regional Development” title, the fourth component of the “Institutions for Pre Accession Partnership” which consolidates EU Pre Accession Financial Assistance Programmes and will come into force in 2007. IPA funds will be effective between 2007 – 2013. MoEF was instructed as a responsible authority for the preparation and the implementation of the “Environmental Operational Programme”.

With respect to the utilization from IPA funds, “the prioritization works” which aim to identify the projects constituting priorities for our country as well as municipalities, are finalized.

In the framework of IPA, 61 water and waste water treatment projects have been singled out at a national scale with a view to do feasibility, prepare EIA design reports and materialize other relevant work of financable Environmental Infrastructure Projects between 2007-2009 in EU standarts. With their EIA reports and feasibility are due to be made, Tendering process of “Technical Assistance on the Preparation of WWTS Projects for 15 Municipalities” chosen from the “Environmental Infra. Prioritization List” continues..


THE SHORT-LIST CONCERNING WITH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROJECTS IN THE SCOPE OF IPA

• Kırıkale wastewater treatment plant• Erzurum wastewater treatment plant,collector, rain water and partial network• Kastamonu wastewater treatment plant• Bartın wastewater treatment plant• Kırşehir wastewater treatment plant• Adıyaman wastewater treatment plant• Gemlik wastewater treatment plant and Deep Sea Discharge Project• Polatlı wastewater treatment plant and Additional Network• Siverek wastewater treatment plant• Seydişehir wastewater treatment plant• Çarşamba wastewater treatment plant• Kahramanmaraş wastewater treatment plant• Diyarbakır wastewater treatment plant (EU The great majorty of the documents are

prepared in the scope of the EU norms.)• Erdemli wastewater treatment plant (EU The great majorty of the documents are

prepared in the scope of the EU norms.)• Turhal wastewater treatment plant


FINANCIAL SUPPORT SUPPLIED BY MoEF

The total amount is 5.359.000 YTL supplied for the sewerage and the wastewater treatment systems between the years 2005-2007
