Policy assessment

The Foresight, Studies and policy Assessment Unit (FSA) coordinates the EESC's contribution to the evaluations of EU policies and legislation.

The unit has been assigned with introducing the systematic practice of analysis and policy evaluation in the EESC. In July 2016 the unit launched its first evaluations (Information Reports).

The FSA unit develops strategies and methodological guidelines for the implementation of evaluation in close collaboration with the sections, observatories and CCMI.

The Commission is undertaking a series of evaluations of the Common Agricultural Policy for the timeframe 2014-2020, assessing performance against the CAP's general objectives. Since the evaluation targets CAP socioeconomic impacts, representing a wide-ranging scope, the EESC provided a complementary evaluation focusing on five countries whose selection has been made together with the Commission in order to maximise complementarity and added value to the EC evaluation.

State of implementation of legal migration legislation (Information report – impact assessment)

Adopted on 05/07/2017
Reference: 
SOC/553-EESC-2016-06698-00-01-ri-tra
Rapporteur: 
Cinzia DEL RIO (Workers - GR II / Italy)

In its evaluation of the implementation of EU directives on legal migration from the perspective of organised civil society in selected Member States, the EESC considers the impact of these directives to be generally positive, albeit partial and fragmented. It also notes the impact of irregular migration on the directives' applicability.

The EESC provides a series of recommendations, covering the design of wider legal channels for labour migration; the role of the social partners and other organisations in this field; a simplified implementation of the directives and the modification of some of them; fact-based discourse to better inform the general public, integration and the fight against discrimination.

Adopted on 31/05/2017

SOC/552-EESC-2016-05623-00-02-ri-tra
Rapporteur: 
Indrė VAREIKYTĖ (Lithuania)
Co-rapporteur: 
Tatjana BABRAUSKIENĖ (Workers - GR II/Lithuania)

The EESC has been asked by the European Commission to contribute to the EC's mid-term evaluation of the Erasmus+ programme. In this context, two questionnaires were widely disseminated by the EESC in the member states and four fact-finding missions have been organised. The EESC also held an expert hearing to collect the views of specialised civil society organisations. An information report has been drafted containing the results of this exercise, accompanied by a detailed technical appendix containing important data on the awareness and perception of the programme. The aim of this evaluation was to provide information to the EC on the experience of civil society organisations with the enlarged and improved programme.
