Analyze legal basis

Purpose

Analysis of the legal basis ensures that the legal requirements for the project are met or that the measures are defined in such a way that they can be created.

Basic idea

The legal basis must be complied with in every project. It constitutes an immovable restriction for a project.

HERMES-specific

Project management ensures that the existence of a sufficient legal basis is clarified.

To this end, contact is made with the competent body (usually legal services or another unit responsible for legislative matters). In the absence of a sufficient legal basis, it is necessary - again in cooperation with the competent bodies - to clarify whether and how the necessary adjustments to the legal basis can be made.
