  8. STRATEGIC ACTION GUIDELINES • Informatisation system of the ID • TECHNOLOGICAL SUPPORT • new computer and communication equipment • computer networking performed (Division headoffice) • programme equipment for cooperation, central document management, automatisation of business activities “workflow management” and management of activities and projects (software Lotus/Notes) • single antivirus protection (softwareTrendMicro Av)

  10. STRATEGIC ACTION GUIDELINES • Change in organisation and mode of work • work programme and plans – systematic actions • development of procedures – regulated system • project approach to defining and implementing tasks • team approach to realisation • 2002 – introduction and acceptance stage • results measurable in terms of quality and quantity • Systematic site inspections - SSI • prevention of illegal construction at the earliest stage • defined action procedures, criteria for selection • individual influence is excluded • the work of inspectors is focussed and rationalised • execution costs are reduced • overall efficiency is increased

  11. ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION GOAL of the environmental protection inspection PRESERVATION OF A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT • SYSTEMATIC CONTROL • all major polluters identified • continuous control • LEGISLATIVE REGULATIONS • not all elements of systematic environmental protection are incorporated

  12. ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION • Control of the work of medical institutions • management of waste generated at providing health care • infective waste from medical institutions is disposed at disposal sites • in hospital incineration plants also waste is incinerated that lacks permit • legal and natural persons authorised to collect hazardous waste after the fire at PUTO incineration plant perform irregular storage ( the incineration plant at Vinkovci hospital is an exception)

  13. ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION • SYSTEMATIC CONTROL • 34 fish-farms (whereof 7 tuna farms) • 27 mussel farms STATE • mussel cultivation without permit • obtaining concessions without location permit • location permit issuance without EIA • sea water quality and sediment monitoring not performed according to dynamics under EIA • data on fish quantity mostly not correct

  14. ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION • Management of packaging waste • low % of recycled waste in Croatia • paper and glass import / own waste to disposal sites • targeted control of 84 entities • 59 inspection decisions • 29 requests for citations • Management of ozone depleting substances - ODS • 231 legal and natural persons inspected • 137 decisions due to irregular procedures (without obtaining permit from MEPPP) • need for amendment of By-law on ODS • Control of waste disposal sites • during tourism season – enhanced control of 94 sites • no developments as compared to 2001

  26. CONCLUSION • CONCLUSION • to continue the process of changes (4 strat. guidelines) • to build up the SYSTEMwhich is to be regulated and well structured with defined procedures GOAL • inspection is only 1 LINK in the chain • “IN-PUT”------- INSPECTION -----”OUT-PUT” • future – solutions for EXCEPTION STAFF • motivated, qualified, satisfied staff is essential to implement changes • a major CHALLENGE and a major THREAT
