IA Study Concerning the Revision of the Cableways Directive Consultation with National Authorities and Notified Bodies Email questions were sent to relevant national authorities in all EU Member States and in Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway to establish their experience of the Directive and associated issues. On request, the questionnaire was translated into French and German. Completed questionnaires have been received from 22 countries, while for three additional countries we have been able to hold conference calls. Some national authorities declined to answer the questionnaire as they did not have sufficient experience with the Directive. Only three countries provided no feedback whatsoever. The response rate from national authorities is summarised in Table A1.1.

Conference calls or written Page 136

CONSULTATION CARRIED OUT FOR MODULE 2 To be able to fully discuss the identified problem areas and the suggested policy options we undertook direct communication with stakeholders. We initially contacted stakeholders by email which, where possible, was followed up by a telephone discussion (which took the form of a semi-structured interview). Telephone discussions were held with stakeholders from across the European cableways industry including manufacturers (of cableways installations, subsystems and safety components), national authorities, notified bodies and cableways operators. Some respondents provided written responses. Consultation with Manufacturers Components of Cableways, Subsystems and Safety Significant effort was made to contact manufacturers of cableways, subsystems and safety components. A total of 91 manufacturers were contacted: this included 36 manufacturers of cableways installations and 55 manufacturers of subsystems and safety components. Initial contact was made via email which explained the study, the problem areas in question and the related policy options. Emails were sent in English, French, German, Italian and Czech. Follow-up emails were sent for those who had not responded. As in Module 1 there has been some resistance by manufacturing companies within the industry to participate in the study. Companies either refused to participate (for varying reasons) or did not respond to our communications. Again, participation from manufacturers of subsystems and safety components has been particularly low. In response to our initial email we held telephone discussions with 13 manufacturers (which consisted of seven manufacturers of cableways and six manufacturers of subsystems and safety components). With regards cableways manufacturers, discussions were held with major industry players including Doppelmayr and Garaventa (discussions were held with both branches of the company as they focus on the manufacture of different types of products), Leitner and Poma. In order to establish the opinion of SMEs as well as large companies we also conducted telephone interviews with representatives of three other cableway manufacturers. As previously mentioned, telephone discussions were also held with seven manufacturers of subsystems and safety components. Discussions were conducted with three rope manufacturers, manufacturers of electrical systems and manufacturers of other subsystems and safety components. Industry organisations were also contacted and a telephone discussion was held with the Italian National Association of Cableways Technicians (ANITIF). Page 137
