WORK PROGRAMME

IMPEL Multi Annual Work Programme (MAWP)

IMPEL has developed procedures based around project management techniques that allow it to operate effectively. The general framework for IMPEL projects and activities is its Multi Annual Work Programme (MAWP). The Multi Annual Work Programme 2007-2012 presents background information and the key priorities of IMPEL’s work. It draws on the 6th Environment Action Programme and the Recommendation on Minimum Criteria for Environmental Inspections (2001/331/EC). The overall strategic goals are:

  • To contribute to a more consistent implementation and enforcement of Community environmental legislation across the Community and to avoid distortions of competition;
  • To develop a common basis for the better performance of environmental inspection tasks within the Member States through exchange of information and experiences on different administrative levels as well as through training;
  • To give advice – on request or on its own initiative – on general questions regarding implementation and enforcement as well as on the practicability and enforceability of existing ad new Community legislation, in particular where the input of practical experiences is necessary.
In 2012, IMPEL is also carrying out a project to update the MAWP and it is expected to be concluded later in the year.
