Benchmarking on Quality Parameters for Environmental Inspectorates/ 2005
This document is a report on a workshop held in Copenhagen in 2005, organized by the European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law (IMPEL). The workshop focused on identifying quality parameters for measuring the effectiveness of environmental inspectorates. The report provides a list of potential parameters, categorized by function, such as budget parameters, inspection burden parameters, inspection efficiency parameters, and outcome parameters. The report also discusses the challenges of using these parameters for benchmarking, particularly when comparing inspectorates across different countries.
