Title: Assessment of the European Union Phare Programme : Country: Multi Country ; Sector: Ad Hoc Report on Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Development |
---|
Abstract Phare support to SME development has mainly consisted of technical assistance and advisory services to national institutions, support to SME policy and legislative development and financial support for SME development. Progress has been made in tackling problems inherited from the past, as well as in developing a favourable environment for the creation of new companies. However, formation and survival rates of SME are still well below the EU average and as such there are a number of challenges to be faced at both the enterprise and government levels....The principal objective of this Report is to identify lessons and make recommendations for the design of future SME programmes, based on a desk analysis of the conclusions and findings of Phare Programme Monitoring and Assessment Reports, Country Assessment Reviews, other monitoring data and strategic planning documents produced within the Candidate countries, and interviews with key stakeholders.[Author vide copyright] |

Abstract This ex post evaluation addresses the EU/ECs pre-accession assistance provided to the twelve countries that acceded to the European Union as part of the fifth wave of EU enlargement, i.e. Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia on 01/05/2004, and Bulgaria and Romania on 01/01/2007. It marked an unprecedented enlargement in terms of scope, of complexity and its diversity; extending EU membership from 15 to 27 countries. Regarding the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, following the events of 1989 leading to the collapse of the communist political system, the EU/EC established the PHARE programme as the main legal instrument for the provision of financial assistance to those countries. Regarding the countries Cyprus and Malta, both of which secured independence from the UK in the early-1960s, the EU/ECs pre-accession assistance was provided, 2000-2003, under a specific instrument.Following their accession to the EU, each of the twelve countries covered under this ex postevaluation received limited, additional support under the Transition Facility to consolidate their administrative capacity to implement and enforce the acquis and to address issues for which individual countries had negotiated a transition period 2004-2006 for the countries acceding in 2004 and in 2007 for Bulgaria and Romania. The Transition Facility is also addressed by this ex postevaluation.[Author vide copyright] |

Title: Statistics Multi-Beneficiary Programmes : Programmes covered: ZZ-9911, ZZ-0027, ZZ-0109, 2002/000-602, 2003/005-623 ; Phare Ex Post Evaluation. Phase 1, Multi-Beneficiary Programmes: Statistics |
---|
Abstract The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the contribution of the statistics multi-beneficiary programme to improvements in the performance of National Statistics Offices in the candidate countries relating to the production and dissemination of statistics in key areas (comparable with EU standards), and transfer of know-how and integration into the European Statistical System and its planning structures.This Ex Post Evaluation Report has been prepared by the MWH Consortium between September and November 2005 and reflects the situation where four of the Phare statistics multi-beneficiary programmes under review have ended and the fifth is approaching completion. It examines the performance of the programmes in addressing the objectives stated in the formal programming documents, provides a general assessment of the programmes and draws conclusions and lessons learned from them.The evaluation is based on an analysis of documents provided at the start, during and on completion of the programmes, and on the results of interviews with beneficiaries, contractors, users and Eurostat personnel. Following a sample approach this evaluation has its geographical focus on four new member states (Estonia, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia) and Bulgaria and Romania.[Author vide copyright] |
