Objective
Transfer of EMAS - System to the local municipalities, Test of the usefulness of EMAS Systems for specific environmental problems faced by the public sector of small municipalities, preparatory action, for the sector expansion of EMAS, development of a management tool for local communities.
The quality of the environmental politicies on the community level, as well as of the environmental management of the communities, are both of crucial importance for the further enhancement of the environmental quality within the EU. This influence is expected to become even more important in the years to come, due to decentralization and emphasizing of the regional powers. In addition to that, further restrictions of the relevant legislative guidelines is limited for reasons of profitability. Especially on the community level, administrative structures are not yet ready to take on complex environmental issues. While during the last decades, the corporate sector has continually been catching up on environmental issues, there still exists a great need for communities to do the same. The pilot project is tailored to meet the demands of small rural communities. These administrative entities lack the required structure, consisting of special departments and staff, to integrate professional environmental management into the existing administrative system. The project, therefore, demonstrates how systems of ecomanagement can be developed and implemented in small structures. Local and regional synergy will be emphasized, in order to minimize costs and save money by using resources collectively. Environmental communal policies play an important role for large areas, due to the high number of small communities. It is the task of ecomanagement to solve problems concerning organization and implementation and to ensure economic viability.
