This will be achieved through the review of inspection agencies’ reports and oversight activities.

To this end, we are introducing the requirement for monthly reporting, which will provide continuous insight into the work of inspection services. Based on credible information, we will be able to issue timely recommendations and opinions at the Coordination Body level regarding the organization and planning of inspection oversight.
