The analysis of the inspection methods for risk-orientated instruments and methods and the description of the existing training concepts of control bodies in Austria, Germany, Italy and Poland have been finalized. Coordinated by R. Setti and R. Maresca (CCPB SRL), expert interviews were conducted in all four partner countries. Furthermore, an international online survey with more than 500 participants from more than 20 countries was realized. Existing training concepts of control bodies were analyzed and a SWOT-Analysis was elaborated.

The output of this work package will be used by the recently established EOCC-Task Force „Competence of organic inspectors“, which shall be coordinated by the Norwegian representative of the control body DEBIO, Gerald Altena. First issue to be discussed will be a proposal for an European occupational profile for organic inspectors.
