Overview of the consultation processAlthough an extensive list of projects has been created during the preparation of EOP 2007-2013, some of the projects have not been implemented due to budgetary and time limitations. The remaining projects, together with new project ideas, have been consolidated into a wide project pipeline. Since the budget requirement of the project pipeline is above the SOP budget, in addition to establishing a set of selection criteria for soft projects, more importantly, prioritization criteria for investment projects were elaborated in round-table consultations with relevant stakeholders including various ministries, union of municipalities, NGOs and universities. A workshop was held on 11-12 March 2014 with the participation of all relevant parties including institutions, NGOs and universities. The outcomes of the workshop are SWOT analyses and prioritization criteria. Implementation arrangementsDevelopment agencies (DA) located in priority NUTS II regions for the geographical concentration will undertake specific roles in the context of Environment SOP. Principally, with regard to operation/project to be implemented in priority NUTS II regions, the respective DA will support the Operating Structure (OS) in developing mature projects. DAs will identify and prioritize projects and negotiate with the Ministry. Once project/operation is selected by the Ministry in consultation with DAs, DAs will provide assistance to the beneficiary to develop mature project/operation. DAs will support the OSs in implementation and monitoring activities in the implementation process. Detailed tasks and functions to be delegated to the DAs by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation will be agreed and specified by a cooperation (delegation) agreement between the respective DA and the Ministry.
The Government of the beneficiary country will adopt its own legislation, which will designate specific bodies for the roles of IPA management and implementation. Under the management and control provisions of this Regulation, the following individuals / bodies will be designated / established:
The above-referenced bodies are listed for the sake of completeness; in general, their functions do not need to be addressed in the programme, since this would be redundant to relevant provisions of the Framework agreement. 18.Monitoring arrangementsSectoral Monitoring CommitteeThe Head of the Operating Structure for Environment will establish a Sectoral Monitoring Committee (SMC) no later than six months after the entry into force of the first financing agreement related to the programme, according to the provisions of Article 19 of the Commission Implementing Regulation on the specific rules for implementing the IPA II Regulation. The SMC will be co-chaired by MoEU Department of EU Investments as Head of the Operating Structure for SOP and a representative of the Commission. Its member will include:
The composition of the SMC can be reviewed and extended by the Head of the Operating Structure in agreement with the Commission in order to guarantee sufficient representation and membership. The SMC will be assisted by a permanent secretariat provided by the Operating Structure for the preparation of papers for discussion by the committee or for clearance by written procedure. 19.Evaluation arrangementsThe Head of the Operating Structure is responsible for ensuring that adequate evaluations of the operational programme are carried out. The evaluations will be carried out by experts or bodies, internal or external, functionally independent from the management and control system. For external evaluation, EC DG ELARG, MoEUA, MoD and Treasury are the responsible institutions. For internal evaluation, the Monitoring and Evaluation Unit within the Department of EU Investments of MoEU will be responsible. Evaluation activities and timing
An ex-ante evaluation may be carried out under the responsibility of the EC. The main purposes of the ex-ante evaluation are:
Interim evaluations will be carried out during the implementation of the EOP. A mid-term evaluation will also be carried out in close co-ordination with similar evaluations for the other OPs. These will address implementation or management issues of an individual priority area or a key area of intervention, especially when the monitoring of the programme reveals a significant departure from the initial goals. At any rate, evaluations should be planned to provide data on indicators agreed upon in the OPs that cannot be obtained through the monitoring system. For the SOP, the results will be sent to the ad-hoc committee on evaluations, to the SMC and to the EC. Budget allocations have already been made under the TA activity.
Ex-post evaluations will be the responsibility of the EC. Some ‘strategic evaluations' may also be carried out. The ex-post evaluation will be carried out by independent experts and will be completed no later than three years after the end of the programming period. The results of the evaluations will be published according to the applicable rules on access to documents.
The SMC should design an ad-hoc committee to assist the OS in its evaluation activities. The committee members should be experts in evaluation. Relevant stakeholders should be able to contribute.
