This Report is the third to be produced and reflects the continued development of reporting on the evaluation of the Union's finances based on results achieved. The Discharge Authority and the European Court of Auditors have shown strong interest in the Report and made suggestions for its further improvement, based on the two earlier reports produced. The Commission has responded to these suggestions in this year's Report to the extent possible under the existing framework for monitoring, evaluation and reporting for the Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF) 2007-13. The improvements introduced in this year's Report move in the direction envisaged for the further development of the Report under the next MFF 2014-20, as described in Section 2. Section 3 reports on the monitoring and performance results in 2012 with regard to expenditure programmes and evaluations of these programmes carried out in 2012, providing an overview of available performance evidence under each budget heading. The Report is accompanied by two Commission Working Documents. The first contains an Action Plan setting out provisional planning for the further development of the Report. This planning will be confirmed following the adoption of the legal instruments supporting the Multi-annual Financial Programme 2014-20. The second provides a comprehensive overview of 130 evaluations completed in 2012. The majority of these evaluations concern expenditure programmes and the Evaluation Report contains an analysis of cross-cutting issues and main findings/recommendations of these evaluations. Core information on each evaluation is summarised, including information on impacts, efficiency, effectiveness, and EU value added. The summaries include hyperlinks to the webpage where the full report is accessible. These two documents respond to requests of the European Parliament and the European Court of Auditors. |
