I have been asked to talk about the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) experience of twinning with other EU applicant countries (ACs) in the fields of occupational health and safety.
I will identify what I think are the most important elements for successful twinning; offer some 'post' accession advice; but most importantly take a strategic view: the objective must be to prevent ill health and accidents - not to treat the consequences. Anything else will be regarded as a failure.
