6. FASFC Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain RoHS Seminar | |6 In 2004 an internal analysis exercise together with an external stakeholder questionnaire resulted in a SWOT-analyis StrenghtsWeaknesses  Principle of integrated approach  Use of controlprogram based on risk assessment  Open communication with consumers (e.g. Contact Point) and sectors  Own laboratoriums  Strong expertise and experience of the personnel  Open relationship not with all sectors  Internal communication between management en people in the field  No Total Quality System – lack of uniformity  No integrated databases  Unsufficient audit competences with the employees in the field OpportunitiesThreaths  Use of certification bodies for the approvals of self assessments  E-government and administrative simplification offer opportunities towards consumers, sectors en companies  Win-win with sectors, in particular complementarity of FASFC-control activities with audits on self-assessments  Own interests of stakeholders not always in line with FASFC-requirements  Implementation of self assessments is not evident for small entreprises  External (unpredicted) factors can endanger the normal functioning  Institutional context

15. FASFC Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain RoHS Seminar | |15 The projected control plan towards the future is based on a number of assumptions  Import- and exportcertificates are not influenced by the expansion of the EU  Licences are delivered for an undetermined period  Audits can be executed by private OCI’s after approval of the sectorguide -Reduction for entreprises with a autocontrol system (ACS) -Combined audits of ACS with private request for proposals  Pace of implementation of ACS in entreprises is difficult to predict  10 % of FASFC-controls require a follow up control
