In the period 18th – 21st of April 2016 Spanish experts Mr. José Francisco Alonso Picón and Mr. Iñaki Bergareche, within mission 2.2.6, implemented a training on execution of environmental inspections in line with EU best practices, in cooperation with two pilot installations, AGRIA pig farm and Tikves winery.
The trainee group, from the Southeastern & Vardar regions, included central and local environmental inspectors, as well as permit writers.
After preparing the last arrangements on the 18th of April, the training delivered encompassed 3 days (19th – 21st of April), divided as follows:
- Day 1: The group was divided into 2 subgroups and was trained on how to prepare an inspection, by developing an inspection checklist and an agenda for the inspection, taking as starting point the templates developed within the project and relevant documents from the installations (permit, monitoring reports).
- Day 2: Inspection site visit was performed. One subgroup went to AGRIA pig farm and the other to Tikves winery.
- Day 3: The 2 subgroups were trained on inspection reporting. Emphasis was made on how the inspection results are an input to improve the quality of permits, to tune the frequency of inspections and to define some key points to inspect in follow-up inspections.
