The responsibility for the implementation of this Quality & Management Adequacy Policy, in conjunction with the operation of the Agency's Management System, is assigned to the Management System Manager (MSM), who is responsible for implementing and maintaining the Management System, with the aim of its continuous improvement.

The quantitative and percentage figures of these targets and the duration of their achievement together with the Policy, are examined and evaluated by the Senior Management in the context of the scheduled Management System Reviews, during which, full compatibility of the targets with the company's operation is also assessed.
In order to properly implement the quality system and to better meet the defined objectives, the Organization identifies its stakeholders and their needs, and has developed a comprehensive risk assessment and risk management plan to ensure the continuity of its effective operation.
