policy role

SHERPA can be used for the formulation, implementation and evaluation of EU policies, legislation and other measures related to air quality. In particular, it can be used in the frame of Impact Assessment procedures to examine potential environmental consequences of perspective regional air quality policies, and evaluate options to improve the effectiveness of the EU action. In this context, a key partner is DG-ENV.

SHERPA has also been used in the frame of the "Partnership on Air Quality", coordinated by DG-REGIO.
