Recognition system 2010
Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport
Background / History• Historical designation of instances responsible for certain acts as
competent authority of ADR, RID etc. (little criteria that they must meet) + designation by Ministeral decision.
• Ministry had several contacts / structural meetings with these instances, but not a really supervision by the Government.
• Inspectorate: several problems with the building and construction of tankcontainers + subcontractors.
• Research of General Court of Auditors: Recommendation: more supervision is needed from the government
on instances.
