The activities of ECENA planned under ECRAN, are built on the results achieved under RENA with closer coordination of work of inspectors and permit writers and closer connection to other activities within the environmental protection area. This is particularly important as the work of this WG is dealing with both implementation and enforcement of the EU acquis.
