COMPLIANCE STRATEGY
Fuel Quality Requirements (Road Traffic) Decree
Petrol and diesel must not contain more than 0,2% sulphur. The purpose of this requirement is to avoid acidification of the environment. Petrol companies generally abide strictly by the rules. The risk is low because their contribution to acidification is limited. A certain number of controls remain necessary to ensure that the petrol companies stick to the rules and because the European Commission has made controls and reporting mandatory.
Enforcement of the rule has low priority if there is a a minor risk and a low non compliance rate

Enforcement of the rule has medium priority if there is a major risk and a low non compliance rate
Fireworks Decree (fireworks for consumers)
Wholesalers usually store fireworks safely. They adhere to requirements concerning quantities, packaging and distance to surrounding buildings. But if there were to be an explosion it would create a great risk. Buildings could be damaged and, far more serious, there could be fatalities.

COMPLIANCE STRATEGY
Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations
Many companies fail to observe the notification obligation that requires them to state what they are doing to reduce packaging and packaging waste and how they intend to remove the residual waste.The material is relatively harmless and companies that do not make notifications can nevertheless take steps – for economic reasons, for example – to reduce the volume of packaging and waste. Moreover, there is only a small risk of packaging waste finding its way into the environment uncontrolled, because an efficient collection system already exists.
Enforcement of the rule has a mediumpriority if there is a minor risk and a high non compliance rate
