18 TYPES OF INSPECTIONS (1) ROUTINE - Program based inspection (plan) (60-70 %) Preventive Sometimes : (only one environmental aspect is checked) SPECIFIC INSPECTION Mostly : INTEGRATED INSPECTION announced mostly not announced with / without on site visit via self monitoring data via external experts (contracted by operator or by inspectorate) 4

19 TYPES OF INSPECTIONS (2) NON ROUTINE (30-40 %) Reactive enforcement In response to complaints or incidents = mostly a specific inspection = inspection with on site visit 5

20 ENFORCEMENT STRATEGY! Combination of - Dialogue based enforcement strategy - Preventive approach - Command and control /Consequent use of sanctions-curative approach So is not only Compliance checking * but also Compliance promoting = encourage voluntary compliance by providing technical assistance; = developping with the operator mutually agreable schedules and approaches for achieving compliance; = to involve the company in finding the solution; = to increase the awarness of the operator (auto discipline, auto * monitoring) = to build up a positive relation authority/operator. How to achieve : - by using administrative law enforcement instruments - by using criminal law enforcement (information of public prosecutor)

21 HOW DOES THE BIME INSPECT? Establishment of breach of the permit Small infringement Urgent situations Other cases oral order (warning) immediate measures written warning One or more reminders Suspension/abrogation/ modification of license Permit proposal to competent authority prosecution report Public prosecutor Other measures : (administrative measures) - stopping activity/ installation - (temporary closure) administrative fine 7
