This Workshop Report examines connections between Environmental Management Systems and Permitting, Inspection and Enforcement in Regulation – including the formal launch of the Remas project.

This report covers the workshop ‘Connecting (Elements) of Company Environmental Management System (EMS) with Permitting, Inspection and Enforcement’, held on the 12th to 13 June 2003 at the Conrad Hotel, Chelsea, London and organised by the Netherlands Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) and the Environment Agency for England and Wales (EA). This workshop is the second in a series within the European Dialogue on Exploring New Approaches in regulating industrial installations – the ENAP-project – and marks the launch of the REMAS project (a UK and Ireland LIFE funded project), which is a pan-European project that will examine the value of environmental management systems in the context of regulation.
