Policy assessment

Since 2016, the EESC has contributed to the Better Regulation Agenda by carrying out assessments of EU policies and legislation. These are adopted as Evaluation Reports (formerly known as Information Reports).

EESC Members draft these Evaluation Reports with the assistance of the respective thematic Sections/CCMI secretariat and of the Foresight, Studies and Policy Assessment Unit (FSA). This unit was created to introduce the systematic practice of analysis and policy evaluation in the EESC, providing methodological support to this activity throughout the process.

    Evaluation of e-Cohesion 2014-2020:

    The objective of the evaluation is to gather evidence on the implementation and performance of e-Cohesion systems for the operational programs funded by ERDF and Cohesion Fund during the programming period 2014-2020. Performance of e-Cohesion systems is understood primarily as: simplification, reduced administrative burden, and streamlined reporting and verification procedures for the four main types of users of such systems: i) beneficiaries, ii) managing authorities and intermediate bodies, iii) certifying authorities, iv) and audit authorities.

    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.
