Executive Summary

The general objective of the Comparison Programme is to acquire a full picture of how different Member States carry out inspections and how they exchange experiences between one another. Another objective is that EU inspectors exchange information and hold discussions on ways how to carry out inspections in order to enforce environmental laws. The exchange of information will promote cross-border co-operation as well as mutual understanding between the countries. The objectives of this second Finnish Comparison Programme was to give an in-depth view on self-monitoring and electronic reporting.



Project description

This report summarises the results of the Finnish Comparison Programme II. This comparison programme was the fourth programme executed in this new series and a follow-up of the first Finnish Comparison Programme I. The programme encompassed two themes: self-monitoring and electronic reporting of emissions data. The objectives of this second Comparison Programme was to give an in-depth view on self-monitoring and electronic reporting based on information on detailed practical working methods and on information from workshops and to produce a light training package on these chosen themes for the IMPEL website.

The project had shown that almost every country had a project to develop electronic reporting and that in some Member States results supplied by self-monitoring could be used as the basis for legal action. The training component of the project had provided the participants with valuable experiences of cross-cultural web-based study. Web-based learning would offer new opportunities to augment the more traditional forms of face-to-face instruction used in the training of environmental inspectors link between a permit and voluntary measures.
