Аннотация:The Barents Euro-Arctic Council (BEAC) is the forum for inter-governmental co-operation on issues concerning the Barents region. BEAC unites 13 regions of 4 member countries – Finland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden. The Working Group on Environment (WGE) deals with major environmental challenges. Two pilot installations – Mondi Syktyvkar Pulp and Paper Plant (Mondi PPP, located in the Republic of Komi) and Petrozavodsk Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (Petrozavodsk MWWTP), situated in the Republic of Karelia) – volunteered to be excluded by the Full-Track Procedure. Both installations had completed environmental reconstruction programmes in 2013-2019 and agreed to participate in the procedure, retrospectively describing all steps included in the Full Track Procedure.In 2019, Russian and Nordic experts worked out BAT-associated specific exclusion criteria both for Mondi PPP and Petrozavodsk MWWTP. In 2020, the decision to exclude both pilot installations from the Hot Spot List was officially approved by the Ministers of Environment of Finland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden.
