It contains the “Points of Excellence” examples highlighted in the Commission reports, together with some additional good examples of best practice, as selected by the authors from within the main body of the EIR reports. Where necessary, this has been supplemented with additional information from country sources in order to get a sense of what each best practice activity entails.
