Important results from the project

It was a need for an overall picture of the formal assignments that various entities in guidance at European, national, regional and local level have. It was important and necessary to identify gaps in the guidance area and make suggestions for improvements. Based on the data collected, the working group has jointly identified gaps and shortcomings that can occur when several different actors have assignments that to some extent overlap or where no entity has a needed assignment.

Expected long term effects
