2.1.Content of the screening process
The screening process consisted in 3 parallel assessments:
Assessing the performance of the options against a number of criteria
A mark between 0 and 1 is given to each of the options to assess numerically how they perform; the criteria and the meaning of the marks are presented in the table below.

Assessing the stakeholders' opinion about the option
For each of the options, a summary of the stakeholders' opinions is given (based on the written and bilateral consultations carried out):
-
"good" opinion : in general, the option is favourably considered by stakeholders,
-
"mixed" : some stakeholders (strongly) supported this option while others were (strongly) against,
-
"Poor" opinion: stakeholders were in general not supportive of this option.
Assessing qualitatively the option
Benefits and drawbacks, as well as particularities of the policy measure are qualitatively described. Based on this description, an assessment is given between good, medium and poor.
2.2.Selection of policy measures
Based on the results of the screening process, policy measures have been eliminated or retained. Rules for eliminations are the following:
-
Were eliminated policy measures that have a low mark (under 0,3) and a poor/medium stakeholder / qualitative assessment.
-
Where 2 or more policy measures are interchangeable (same intensity), only the best of the 2 is kept.
For policy measures enjoying a significant support among some of the stakeholders, a detailed analysis is additionally provided in 4.
