Occupational structures and profiles in the Federal Republic of Germany in the field of environmental protection in the public service sector with reference to air pollution control

In this project the qualification structures and the main occupational profiles and their areas of application were examined on the basis of empirical surveys for four main operational areas of public service: 'Political decision-making', 'Research and consultancy', 'Supervision and control' and 'Information and publicity'. On account of the increasing number of standard provisions in environmental protection at both national and Community level there is a noticeable quantitative and qualitative increase in the demands placed upon the occupations and in the competences required. The study on Germany has already been published in the 'CEDEFOP Document' series. The English translation now appears in the new series called CEDEFOP Panorama.
