The introduction to the area of action is supplemented by an excerpt from the implementation roadmap relevant to the area of action. For each measure, an overview table describing the following points is presented at the beginning: • Objectives of the measure: derived directly from the NCS, this shows what the measure is intended to achieve in concrete terms. • Overall responsibility for the measure: the unit(s) responsible for implementing the measure as a whole and accountable to the NCS Steering Committee for the implementation status. • Participation of federal units/third parties: organisations of the Federal Administration or external units which have undertaken to contribute to the implementation of the measure within the framework of the implementation plan. The list is not exclusive; other units may participate in the implementation of measures at any time. • Existing bodies/processes/concepts: presentation of the existing basis relevant to the measure as a description of the current situation. • Need for legislation: if the implementation of the measure requires the creation of a new legal basis or the amendment of an existing one, this is shown as a need for legislation (see Chapter 3). • Implementation projects of the measure: overview of the defined implementation projects. Afterwards, the implementation projects are explained. First the contents of the project are briefly explained, then the responsibility is defined and finally the relevant milestones for the roadmap are listed. 9/79
