	STATEMENT OF CHRISTOPHER S
		The enforcement and compliance office, EPA, and the environment, have gone far too long without new leadership in this area.
		EPA's enforcement and compliance program is at a cross-roads, between old ways of doing business and new ways that stress what is best for the environment as the ultimate test for what action to take.
		So, she combined all of these elements - enforcement, assistance, and incentives - into a single enforcement and compliance assurance office.

	compliance
		The objective of the compliance procedures should be to identify compliance difficulties, establish the cause of such difficulties and formulate responses and advise to correct the state of non-compliance.
		As noted in both the UNEP Guidelines on Compliance and Enforcement and the recently adopted ECE Guidelines on the same topic, it is vital that States only join a treaty, including this one, once they have ensured that all the necessary domestic laws and institutions are in place to be in compliance once they join.
		Thus, the compliance procedures and mechanisms should not be viewed as a substitute for countries' development of their own domestic authority, rather it should be viewed as a tool in helping Parties respond to compliance issues that may arise once their initial domestic authority has been obtained.
