Factual Study on the Follow-Up of Pilot Projects and Preparatory Actions: 2009-2013

This study examines budgetary resources for Pilot Projects (PPs) and Preparatory Actions (PAs) in 2009-2014 and the outcome of PPs and PAs that have come to an end in this period. Taking account of both new and on-going projects, funding for 136 Pilot Projects and 95 Preparatory Actions have been included in the budget since 2009. Since 2009, of the total budgetary resources available, on average PPs have used 88% and PAs 54%. In terms of outcomes up until 2013, 63% of PPs and 86% of PAs are either still on-going or have had legislative consequences.
