Study Visits
The Review Panel is carrying out a number of study visits to other jurisdictions of the UK, Ireland and Europe (Brussels), to speak with organisations that carry out environmental functions. The schedule of visits which have taken place, or are planned, is below. In each case, the Review Panel has agreed the publication of a highlight report. The purpose of the report is not to record each meeting, but to give a flavour of the discussions which took place and to record the key issues or ideas which arose. Each file is available in pdf format to read online or download. If you require any more information about any of the visits, please contact the Review Secretariat through the contact us page. If you wish to comment about any of the issues in the highlight reports, please post a comment on the message board.
