Project description and aims

The project aims at better implementing the IED with special regard to permitting, participation of the public, and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of environmental inspections and surveillance, through:

  • application of risk criteria in a strategic way with a view to assessing, evaluating and mitigating the most serious types of non-compliance with the IED;
  • development of best practice examples in the application of BAT conclusions and the compilation of baseline report on soil and ground water contamination;
  • optimising the communication with and active dissemination to the public of the results of inspection and surveillance work;
  • fostering cooperation and coordination between different inspection and surveillance bodies with a view to streamlining and optimising the use of inspection and surveillance resources;
  • development of reaction methods after serious environmental complaints;
  • creation and use of electronic records of inspection and surveillance work with a view to enabling the efficiency and effectiveness of such work to be more easily measured and evaluated.
