Sampling
Member States were selected for fact-finding meetings by the study group based on criteria adopted by the EESC Bureau on 22 January 2019. The European Commission was also consulted.
The countries were selected based on:
political spread e.g. high/low level of implementation, application success rates, most/least affected by the legislative proposal/programme, etc.;
geographical spread i.e. by setting up five groups of Member States and choosing one from each group.
