That includes:

• Exchanging solutions concerning implementation problems;
• Facilitating implementation and interpretation of available tools;
• Performing joint inspections;

• Providing an overview on the approaches in different European countries;
• Facilitating cooperation between actors from the compliance chain, also on defining consistent solutions for implementation problems.
