Enforcement bodies have a very important role in controlling if laws and regulations are adhered. Especially economic and command and control tools (direct regulations of requirements, bans and rules) are based on laws that have been enacted. As laws, rules, structures and responsibilities as well as partnership agreements need to be adhered to, and there must be a sound body monitoring and enforcing them. The actual function of enforcement bodies should be set out in a clear legal framework. Because laws for the assertion of economic and command and control tools are not working independently, their enforcement is as important as their formulation itself. Laws can therefore be seen as the framework for compliance and enforcement, as well as for all economic and command and control tools. None of those tools will work without the implementation of the others: On the one hand, economic and command and control tools are based on laws and need a sound institution enforcing them, because otherwise these tools are worthless. On the other hand, enforcement bodies need economic and command and control tools based on laws as statutes for their work, because otherwise they might be misled to act corruptly and arbitrarily.
