Abstract

This chapter presents the crucial auditing cycle which is the basis for any eco-management and auditing scheme as introduced by the European Commission. Against these basic principles and their historic development, the main advantages and benefits of a participation in the EMAS system are reported. Finally, the definition and often challenging spatial delimitation of a ski area are described.
