 PROPOSAL FOR A PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DECISION
 ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAMME IN THE
 FIELD OF CULTURAL HERITAGE - THE RAPHAEL PROGRAMME
 ANNEX: Description of the Raphael Programme
 FINANCIAL STATEMENT
 /IL
 ---pagebreak--- EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 This proposal is to be seen within the general context of the communication
 entitled European Community action in support of culture* adopted by the
 Commission on 27 July 1994 in response to the inclusion of an article on culture
 in the EC Treaty2. The movable and non-movable cultural heritage having been
 recognized as one of the priority fields of action in the Community's cultural
 policy, this proposal seeks to establish a specific action programme in this area.
 The action programme should give a new impetus to Community activities in the
 field of heritage, redirecting and expanding the activities already developed and
 providing a coherent approach to Community actions and policies relating to
 cultural heritage.
 The specific operations proposed under the action programme satisfy several
 objectives set out in the Treaty. Given that heritage both expresses different
 identities and testifies to exchanges between cultures, Community action in this
 field can make a special contribution to the creation of "an ever closer union
 among the peoples of Europe"3 and to "the flowering of the cultures of the
 Member States, while respecting their national and regional diversity and at the
 same time bringing the common cultural heritage to the fore".4
 Europe's cultural heritage has evolved over time, through exchanges and mutual
 influences, and displays certain common characteristics that transcend national or
 regional differences. This interplay of diversity and constancy perfectly illustrates
 the regional, national and European roots of Europe's citizens. Community action
 in the field of cultural heritage can thus help to forge a European citizenship,
 based on a better understanding of both national culture and the culture of the
 other Union states.
 The proposed action programme aims to encourage cooperation between Member
 States and support and supplement their action.5 However, although the needs of
 the heritage sector are considerable in terms of expertise, human resources and
 funding, the resources available are necessarily limited and choices have to be
 made. A Community programme will serve to pool expertise so that informed
 choices can be made, to avoid duplication and waste at the same as promoting
 standards while securing economies of scale.

 ---pagebreak--- The problems of preserving and managing the cultural heritage transcend national
 boundaries: the Member States face similar problems, some of which are so
 complicated and on such a large scale - such as paper conservation - that
 individual countries cannot tackle them alone. In such cases joint action offers
 "added value" and may be more effective than the sum of the actions taken by
 each Member State individually.
 In addition to its intrinsic value, the preservation of the cultural heritage generates
 various types of activity with important social and economic repercussions, which
 connect with other objectives laid down in the Treaty. This sector, for example,
 needs a large and often highly skilled workforce at the level of both planning and
 management (architects, archivists, art historians, conservationists) and practical
 implementation (conservationists and restorers, craftsmen, museum staff). This
 workforce, which is often based in small businesses, draws on both traditional
 skills and the latest research and techniques. ~~
 Promoting cooperation between training and/or research establishments is therefore
 a key element in the Community's action on heritage and the proposed operations
 will have to take account of the accumulated body of Community programmes on
 training and education, research and technological development. Cultural heritage
 can also contribute significantly to the research/growth/employmenLdynarnic, in
 that it is a sector where the results of research could be exploited more
 effectively, for example by developing practical applications for the use of the
 professionals in the field.
 The heritage sector is also a source of new jobs,6 thanks to the combined effect
 of the growing interest in heritage in all its forms and increased amounts of
 leisure. New jobs stem from both an increase inactivity in the sector itself (e.g.
 restoration projects, the reorganization of museums and their collections, cultural
 events to promote heritage, exhibitions, creation of new services for the public in
 museums, etc.) and activities stimulated by the presence and promotion of the
 heritage, such as the growth of tourism.
 Heritage projects are therefore increasingly integrated in regional development
 policies, particularly in schemes to encourage urban renewal and combat
 depopulation. Preserving heritage is obviously also linked to land-use planning,
 environmental and energy policies.
 Finally, cultural heritage is a priority area for the development of applications and
 standards of advanced information and communication technology and services
 and was identified as an important area of action in the communication entitled
 Europe's way to the information society: an action plan,7 following the
 Bangemann Group's report.8 !

 ---pagebreak--- The likely benefits of such work will not be solely in terms of growth,
 competitiveness or employment; provided the cultural dimension is taken into
 account, professionals working in the heritage sector and the general public will
 benefit from a whole range of new and sophisticated cultural products and
 services.
 The Community has already engaged in a number of activities in the cultural
 heritage field in pursuit of its various self-appointed tasks. These fall into three
 categories: activities with an essentially cultural purpose, activities in pursuit of
 other objectives laid down in the Treaty, but with a direct bearing on heritage,
 and, finally, activities serving other purposes, but with a direct or indirect impact
 on conservation in the Member States, such as agricultural policy, which has an
 important impact on the preservation of the archaeological heritage and historic
 landscapes.
 Mindful of the need to achieve a consensus because of the decision-making
 procedures provided for in Article 128 and wishing to conduct in-depth
 consultations, prior to drawing up this proposal for a Parliament and Council
 Decision the Commission organized a series of meetings on the movable and non-
 movable heritage before drafting this communication, consulting the authorities
 in the Member States, the professionals and others involved in the field. At the
 same time, a group of experts convened in response to a Council resolution9
 considered the specific subject of archives. The list of consultative meetings is
 appended (p. 6-7).
 This proposal draws on the experience of the action undertaken to date and the
 results of the consultations. Its frame of reference is the Community's cultural
 policy10 and it takes into account the relevant resolutions and conclusions adopted
 by Parliament11 and the Council.12

 ---pagebreak--- Community action in the field of cultural heritage should satisfy the following
 objectives:
 help to develop and promote cultural heritage;
 encourage cooperation and the pooling of knowledge, expertise and
 practice in the field of heritage preservation at European level;
 improve public access to heritage and the supply of information on it for
 the public at large so as to contribute to the affirmation of a European
 citizenship through greater knowledge of heritage;
 support for enriching mutual understanding and practices and realize
 Europe's potential;
 foster cooperation with non-member countries and other international
 organizations, in particular the Council of Europe.
 In the light of this, the Commission intends to establish a Community action
 programme in the field of cultural heritage, to be known as the Raphael
 Programme, which will focus on the following five activities:
 I. Development and promotion of cultural heritage;
 LT. Networks and partnerships;
 LU. Access to heritage;
 IV. Innovation, further training and professional mobility;
 V. Cooperation with non-member countries and international organizations.
 The programme has a strategic approach which should be served by the various
 measures to be implemented step-by-step. The Commission believes that its
 coherent approach will enable the Raphael Programme to make a more effective
 contribution to developing and promoting the cultural heritage and to achieve a
 greater impact on the flowering of cultures in Europe. The programme will also
 allow the Community to view its actions from a specifically cultural point of view
 and, where necessary, to enhance the cultural dimension in other Community
 measures, in accordance with Article 128(4) of the Treaty.
 To conclude, the Commission proposes:
 to submit this proposal for a Parliament and Council Decision under the
 new procedure provided for in Article 128 of the Treaty.

 CONSULTATIONS ORGANIZED WITH A VIEW
 TO THE PRESENTATION OF A COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAMME
 IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
 General consultations on movable and non-movable heritage
 On 1 and 2 July 1993 the Commission and the European Parliament organized a
 first meeting in Venice with the Directors of movable and non-movable heritage
 in the Member States. The theme was "key elements for the conservation of the
 cultural heritage in the European Community". The aim was to identify areas for
 Community action in the heritage field and agree the themes for the first four
 expert meetings.
 Four expert meetings were organized in conjunction with the Belgian and Greek
 Presidencies. They dealt with the following themes:
 "Heritage and management: heritage, economy and employment, heritage,
 tourism and the environment", Mons, 27-30 October 1993
 "Heritage, research and new technologies", Brussels, 17-19 November
 1993
 "Heritage and training", Antwerp, 1-3 December 1993
 "Information and increasing awareness of and support for the heritage
 among the public and professionals",TM Athens 23-25 February 1994
 Two further expert meetings were organized by the Greek Presidency with the
 Commission's support and reflecting the Presidency's priorities in the field of
 cultural heritage:
 - "Heritage and the environment", Athens, 26-29 March 1994
 "The underwater heritage", Athens, 7-9 April 1994
 Participation in these consultations was limited to experts chosen by the Member
 States, representatives of the European Parliament, the Council of Europe,
 intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations and the various
 departments of the Commission most closely concerned.
 13
 This meeting was a follow-up to an earlier expert meeting on "Museums and their public",
 organized in Glasgow on 25-29 November 1992 in conjunction with the British Presidency.
 ---pagebreak--- The results of the expert meetings were presented at the second meeting of the
 Member States' Directors of movable and non-movable heritage, held in Lisbon
 on 27-29 April 1994 on the theme "Europe and its heritage". This was an
 opportunity to draw up a preliminary assessment of progress to date, based on a
 working document presented by the Commission, and to suggest themes to be
 explored for drawing up the future action programme.
 Specific consultations on archives
 In 1991 the Council passed a resolution calling on the Commission to set up a
 group of experts designated by the Member States "for the purpose of examining
 to what extent greater coordination of archives policy and practice within the
 Community is desirable".14 The group of experts, which included representatives
 of the archives of the Community institutions, the European University Institute
 in Florence and the various Commission departments involved, met in Brussels
 on 31 March, 17 June and 24 September 1992 and on 9 March, 23 April and
 22 October 1993. Their work forms the subject of a report containing suggestions
 for Community action in this particular field.15
 The conference
 The information collected at the earlier meetings was presented to a larger
 audience at a conference on "European citizens and their heritage", organized in
 conjunction with the European Parliament in Brussels on 4 and 5 October 1994.
 The aim was to supplement the technical findings with a dialogue between the
 interested parties, such as landlords' associations, voluntary groups and
 foundations, all of which help to bring people closer to their heritage. The
 conference also provided an opportunity to meet representatives from the new
 Member States and non-member countries.

 GEMENSAMT ÅTGÄRDSPROGRAM PÅ OMRÅDET FÖR KULTURARVET,
 "RAPHAËL-PROGRAMMET"
 Raphaël-programmet är avsett att stödja europeisk verksamhet inom kulturarvets alla
 delområden: arvet i form av fast egendom, det arkeologiska arvet, det arv som döljs i hav och
 sjöar, arvet i form av fast egendom, arvet i form av lösöre, museer och samlingar, arkiv m.m.
 Verksamhetsområde I - Ökning av kulturarvets värde och av dess landvinningar
 Denna verksamhet avser att bidra till att öka kulturarvets värde och dess landvinningar
 och att uppmuntra utvecklingen och ställa den bästa praxisen till gemensamt förfogande
 genom att skapa en miljö som är gynnsam för att bevara kulturarvet.
 Denna verksamhet genomförs genom följande åtgärder:
 1. Stöd till projekt för att bevara kulturarvet i form av lösöre och fast egendom som
 kan betecknas som "kulturarvets europeiska laboratorier" på grund av att det arbete
 som skall utföras är av särskilt intresse och kan fungera som förebild. Projekten
 bör omfatta verk, monument eller platser som har ett särskilt historiskt värde och
 som är "minnesplatser" för Europa. Projekten, som skall sträcka sig över flera år,
 skall ha som mål att samla de mest kompetenta personerna, särskilt genom att
 bilda ett europeiskt arbetslag med personer från många områden för att studera
 särskilt svåra problem i samband med bevarandet och att klarlägga lämpliga
 närmandesätt, metoder och tekniker. Särskild vikt skall fästas vid spridningen av
 de erfarenheter som vunnits under arbetet.
 17
 ---pagebreak--- 2. Stöd till "kulturarvets europeiska byggplatser" som arbetar enligt ett gemensamt
 tema för bevarandet av lösöre och fast egendom. Projekten skall utmärka sig
 genom sitt värde som förebild och ha en multiplicerande inverkan. De kan omfatta
 flera på varandra följande år. De erfarenheter som förvärvas med avseende på det
 problem rörande förvaltning eller bevarande som behandlas, kommer att spridas

 FINANCIAL STATEMENT
 RAPHAEL - 5 YEARS
 TITLE OF OPERATION
 A Community action programme in the field of cultural heritage - the Raphael
 Programme
 BUDGET HEADING INVOLVED
 B3-2000 Protection and development of the European cultural heritage
 LEGAL BASIS
 Article 128 of the Treaty
 Parliament and Council Decision of establishing a Community action
 programme in the field of cultural heritage - the Raphael Programme
 4. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
 4.1. General objective
 The purpose of European Union action in support of culture is to contribute to the
 creation of "an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe"1 and to "the
 flowering of the cultures of the Member States, while respecting their national and
 regional diversity and at the same time bringing the common cultural heritage to
 the fore".2
 In this way cultural action is intended to highlight the common heritage of the
 peoples of Europe and illustrate our dual cultural identity as being both national
 and European.
 Treaty on European Union, Article A.
 Article 128(1), EC Treaty.
 1^
 ---pagebreak--- Heritage has a particularly important place in this context, since it is the product
 of the historical development of the culture of the peoples of Europe, whether at
 European, national, regional or local level. It displays extraordinary diversity and
 a remarkable wealth, reflecting the multiplicity of our identities and also bearing
 witness to the growing network of intellectual and artistic exchanges.
 Cultural heritage is the interface between our differences and our similarities,
 finding expression in movable and non-movable forms.
 Cultural action on heritage is principally intended to support and supplement
 action by Member States in the areas of:
 information supply on movable and non-movable heritage at European
 level;
 preservation and protection of common European cultural heritage;
 implementing cooperation with non-member countries and other
 international organizations working in this field.
 Action will focus on the following five areas:
 I. Development and promotion of cultural heritage in Europe;
 II. Networks and partnerships;
 III. Access to heritage;
 IV. Innovation, new technologies, further training and professional mobility;
 V. Cooperation with non-member countries and international organizations.
 4.1.1 Development and promotion of cultural heritage in Europe
 The aim is to foster the development of conservation techniques in the form of
 concrete projects in all heritage disciplines, such as movable and non-movable
 heritage, archaeology, museums and collections, archives and underwater heritage.
 Conservation techniques covers the full range of activities including, for example,
 identification, recording, presentation, display, conservation, restoration,
 documentation and management.
 Particular attention will be given to distributing information on the results of the
 projects, which will be grouped into five categories:
 Work on heritage classified as "major" or "exceptional" so as to set up "European
 heritage laboratories" to form multidisciplinary international teams of European
 experts to study conservation problems and techniques for special landmarks that
 are of exemplary value in Europe or worldwide. These cooperation arrangements
 and the experience and results gained from them may then be used for more
 ordinary smaller-scale operations.
 Support for European heritage sites with common themes operating at regional,
 local or national level to promote interchange of experience so that all those
 76
 ---pagebreak--- working in a given field may benefit from the common results by setting up
 "European heritage sites" for the purpose of experimentation and demonstration.
 Development of European standards on conservation practice as operated by
 international professional organizations, for example the documentation of cultural
 goods, loans of works of art and conservation.
 Promotion on an experimental basis of the acquisition and joint management of
 major works of art by several European partners so as to keep the works in
 Europe and make them accessible to the public throughout Europe.
 Projects and studies with a cultural focus to complement other Community
 activities.
 4.1.2 Networks and partnerships
 The aim is to step up cross-border cooperation, promote exchanges, pool
 experience and present the European dimension of heritage. The main activities
 fall under four headings:
 Support for networking of European heritage sites to encourage sites
 working on a similar theme to link up and form a network.
 Development and dissemination of information tools for use by networks
 of professionals to encourage production of guides, handbooks, directories
 and lists of Community activities on cultural heritage for people working
 in the various fields involved and networks. Maximum encouragement will
 be giving to dissemination using modern media such as CD ROM,
 electronic data transmission links and the like.
 Support for cross-border cooperation projects between museums to help
 highlight the European dimension of cultural heritage through cooperation
 between several museums or implementation of projects involving different
 monuments.
 Support for cooperation projects between institutes involving in particular
 projects on research, inventories, evaluation methods, grants and the like
 jointly run by several training or research institutes.
 2J
 ---pagebreak--- 4.1.3 Access to heritage
 The aim is to raise public awareness of the common European heritage and
 encourage projects of exemplary value. This will involve the following four areas
 of activity:
 Inclusion of steps to raise public awareness in projects financed bv the
 Community presenting work in progress to the public by organizing
 travelling exhibitions and developing audiovisual products.
 Support for events to raise public awareness at European level, such as
 organizing the European Heritage Days, organizing and supporting the
 Mies van der Rohe Architecture Prize, organizing events on European
 heritage on Europe Day (9 May) and supporting exemplary projects.
 Support for multilingual presentations, encouraging museums, monuments
 and sites in the Member States to display presentational material in various
 languages to make information on European cultural heritage more
 accessible for people from other countries.
 Support for projects on providing greater public and professional access
 to heritage through use of modern information and communication
 technologies, for example by linking up databases, developing multimedia
 projects, studies and seminars on issues relating to this field.
 4.1.4 Innovation, further training and professional mobility
 The protection of Europe's cultural heritage depends to a large extent on the
 existence of a sufficient number of high-calibre professionals qualified in the vast
 range of complex and varied disciplines which need to be brought together in
 order to see projects through to the end.
 In this context and in close cooperation with activities operated by other
 Commission departments, such as DG XII and the Task Force on Human
 Resources, so as to ensure that the measures complement existing and future
 programmes, the aim is to encourage exchanges, cooperation, mobility and further
 training for professionals in the heritage field under the following three headings:
 Support for identifying research problems and disseminating results so as
 to help define areas and subjects requiring Community-level research,
 promote the dissemination of the results obtained throughout the profession
 and foster the development of concrete applications.
 7/
 ---pagebreak--- Encouragement for organizing conferences, colloquia and seminars with
 a European or worldwide character bringing together European experts to
 exchange experiences and innovations in various subject areas.
 Support for setting up a professional exchange programme enabling
 specialists to work for several months in an equivalent professional setting
 in another Member State.
 4.1.5. Cooperation with non-member countries and international organizations
 The aim is to develop projects with non-member countries, in particular by
 extending the programme to the countries of central and eastern Europe which
 have signed cooperation agreements with the European Union, and to cooperate
 on certain projects with certain countries in Latin America and the Commonwealth
 of Independent States.
 Cooperation with international organizations will involve seeking synergy
 arrangements, in particular with UNESCO and Council of Europe activities, as
 well as developing complementary activities and partnerships.
 The Commission hopes to foster regular consultations with these organizations on
 subjects and activities of common interest and possibly also join in setting up a
 cooperation project between UNESCO, the Council of Europe and the European
 Union on monuments and sites on the World Heritage List.
 Four main areas of action are planned:
 Support for preservation projects involving both movable and non-movable
 heritage and, in particular monuments and sites on the World Heritage
 List.
 Participation in projects relating to networks and partnerships.
 Participation in projects to make heritage more accessible to the public.
 Participation in activities to promote innovation, further training and
 professional mobility.
 ^•2. Period covered and arrangements for renewal or extension
 Five years (1996-2000)
 Possibility of renewal following evaluation
 In the event of renewal, a new Council Decision would be required.

 8. FRAUD PREVENTION MEASURES: RESULTS OF MEASURES TAKEN
 Payment will be made only after production of detailed supporting documents and
 financial and accounting statements.
 An activity report must be submitted for each project when final payment is made.
 In addition, the various control bodies (the Court of Auditors, Financial Control
 and the Authorizing Officer) will make regular checks on the management bodies
 conducting the activities and on end-beneficiaries.
 9. ELEMENTS OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS
 9-1' Specific and quantified objectives: target population
 9.1.1. Specific objectives
 The specific aims of the RAPHAEL programme are:
 - to contribute to the development and promotion of cultural heritage in Europe
 by assisting in the renovation and development of a large number of
 monuments and sites throughout the programme (see 7.1.1);
 - to create synergy among professionals for the purpose of European-level
 pooling of expertise, know-how and practices for preserving and restoring
 heritage, in particular by supporting a significant number of European heritage
 sites for both movable and non-movable heritage so as to raise the level of
 training in the profession as a whole (the specific objective is to support
 between 200 and 250 sites over the five years);
 - to improve public access to heritage through joint acquisitions and joint
 management of major works of art so that collections of art which, without the
 programme, would have remained scattered, undervalued and inaccessible will
 be on display to the general public in the various Member States;
 11
 V
 ---pagebreak--- to contribute to collecting, disseminating and presenting heritage information
 using modern communication technologies, such as multimedia. The specific
 objective is to create a core of comparative studies on the systems used in the
 Member States (about 20 studies over the five years) and make the results
 available to all those working in the profession;
 to promote networking among heritage professionals and organizations. The
 specific objective is to support 15 to 20 transnational projects over the five
 years using multimedia and other modern means of communication;
 9.1.2. Target population
 The target population is first and foremost professionals in various fields working
 on heritage as well as organizations and networks, such as museums and
 collections.
 The programme also covers research institutes and initial and further training
 institutes involved in various areas of cultural heritage.
 The programme will improve public familiarity with and awareness of the scope,
 quality and wealth of Europe's shared cultural heritage.
 9.2. Grounds for the operation
 The Raphael programme is to achieve its aims through the five areas of action
 listed above, covering both movable and non-movable heritage.
 Projects under the programme must have a European dimension and have genuine
 value added in relation to activities conducted by Member States; European-level
 networking of museums is an obvious example of such Community-level value
 added.
 Projects should also be of Community-level interest with exemplary, innovative
 or informative content and contribute to the promotion of Europe's cultural
 heritage.
 Particular attention will be paid to the multiplier effect of each project in cultural
 terms when funding decisions are made.
 Subsidiarity is a key element and approval will be given only to projects which
 bring together operators in several Member States and where Community aid will
 add a necessary supplementary dimension to the implementation of the activities.
 When selecting projects, the panels will examine whether they could be eligible
 to receive national or regional subsidies. Where this is the case, careful attention
 will be given to ensure that Community funding does not overlap with funding
 from other sources so as to avoid duplication.
 In brief, the project selection criteria are Community-level value added;
 innovative, exemplary and informative nature; multiplier effects and Community
 dimension.

 ---pagebreak--- 9.3. Monitoring and evaluation of the operation
 9.3.1. Performance indicators
 The main performance indicators to be used initially will be:
 - number of works of art acquired through joint management (output);
 - number of networks supported or set up by the programme (output);
 - number of cross-border projects developed using modern techniques (output);
 - number of visitors to the travelling exhibitions organized (output);
 - number of awareness events supported (output);
 - number of heritage access pilot projects aimed at the public (output);
 - number of exchange projects supported (output);
 In addition to these output indicators, a series of impact indicators is to be subsequently
 developed. For this purpose, a study is to be drawn up in conjunction with the Statistical
 Office to test the reliability of the indicators. The following impact indicators could for
 example be used:
 - analysis of the media impact of the programme's symbolic value in the
 European press as a whole and in specialized professional journals in order to
 evaluate the impact of support financing on the restoration of prestigious
 heritage sites and sites of European or world importance (qualitative impact
 indicator);
 - Europe-wide dissemination of standards, passive conservation procedures and
 documentation systems supported by the programme (output and impact
 indicators);
 - Europe-wide circulation of jointly managed works (impact indicator);
 - networks supported under the programme as a proportion of total European
 networks (impact);
 - cross-border projects supported under the programme as a proportion of the
 total projects of this type in Europe (impact);
 - events supported under the programme as a proportion of total European
 events (impact);
 - pilot projects supported under the programme as a proportion of total
 European pilot projects (impact);
 - exchange projects supported under the programme as a proportion of total
 European exchange projects (impact).
 9.3.2. Details and frequency of planned evaluations
 13
 V?
 ---pagebreak--- 9.3.2.1. Details of evaluation
 In 1996 the Raphael programme will take over from the Heritage pilot operation which
 is due to finish at the end of 1995. The results of the pilot operation are currently being
 assessed by a panel of outside experts. The cost-performance study is due to be completed
 by the end of May. It will be used as the input for defining in detail the intervention and
 selection mechanisms and the management and evaluation systems for the Raphael
 programme.
 The main areas of operation for the Raphael programme were drawn up following
 consultations with people in the profession and numerous discussions and deliberations
 with experts in the heritage field, which were held in 1993 and 1994.
 Calls for propositions are to be published annually to enable project promoters and
 heritage professionals to submit applications for financing under the Raphael programme
 on an open basis.
 Selection of projects and dossiers to receive financing will be made by the Commission
 departments assisted by a jury of independent experts who will make a comparative
 analysis of the projects and assess the advantages and Community interest of each
 operation.
 The Raphael programme will be monitored by an advisory committee made up of
 representatives nominated by each Member State. The committee will issue opinions on
 the subjects and content of the operations which the Commission proposes to support.
 Each year an evaluation report will be submitted to the committee and simultaneously to
 Parliament and the Committee of the Regions. It will be drawn up on the basis of the
 workings of the juries, decisions and inspections by Commission departments and a
 summary of the activity reports submitted at the end of each operation.
 In addition, half-way through the programme the Commission will submit an overall
 evaluation report, drawn up by an independent audit panel, to Parliament, the Council and
 the Committee of the Regions together with proposals for amendments and improvements,
 if deemed necessary.
 At the end of the programme a complete evaluation report will be produced reviewing the
 contents and achievements of the programme. It will be submitted to Parliament, the
 Council and the Committee of the Regions by 30 September of the year following the
 expiry of the programme.
 9.3.2.2. Frequency of evaluation
 Annually for the on-going evaluations
 Mid-term and at the end of the programme for the external and full evaluations on all the
 programme mechanisms and on its performance assessment.
 14
 1*
 ---pagebreak--- 9.3.3. Assessment of results obtained
 The results obtained, which will be evaluated in the ways set out in paragraph 9.3.2. or
 in the periodic global evaluation exercises, will be used by the Commission to make the
 necessary changes to the priorities, intervention mechanisms and technical and
 management procedures of the programme. There will be an annual feedback exercise
 within the Commission.
 The Council, Parliament and the Committee of the Regions will be kept informed of the
 annual results and the annual or periodic evaluations, and proposals for any major
 amendments which may be deemed necessary will be submitted to them.
