6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
6.1. Monitoring system
The Commission keeps detailed the Pericles projects and analyses periodically its implementation.
6.2. Evaluation
6.2.1. Ex-ante evaluation
The proposal for the extension of Pericles is based on the evaluation of the programme during the first years of its implementation. This is summarised in section 3 of the Communication (p. 4). In particular, the evaluator recommended that: the programme should continue for a further 4 years at least with the same budget (€ 1 million per year); the programme should give priority to those Member States with low participation or who did not organise actions in the first programme, as well as the new Member States. Emphasis should be put on practical training. There should be a prioritisation in favour of staff exchanges and specific training, including case studies. Co-operation between the European institutions/bodies (Commission/OLAF, ECB and Europol) should be further developed. With a view to enabling the assessment of the effect of the programme, among others on the convergence of high level training for trainers, the evaluator recommends the preparation of a strategy document, to be finalised before the new Pericles enters into effect.
With regard to individual projects, an ex-ante evaluation is carried out by the Pericles Evaluation Committee (Commission).
6.2.2. Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past):
The proposal for the extension of Pericles takes into consideration the conclusions reached by the programme evaluator (section 3, p. 4) namely:
- The programme has improved awareness of the Community dimension of the euro and has also developed a greater understanding amongst the participants of the related laws and instruments and in particular of the relevant Community and broader European law.
- With regard to the range of information exchanges and methodologies/measures, most have been presented in the various workshops, meetings and seminars.
- The target groups for the programme have been reached in part with a very high participation by law enforcement officials; attendance by commercial banking sector, specialist lawyers or chambers of commerce was not sufficient.
- The activities examined were considered relevant to and among the main objectives of the programme.
- In terms of costs, the evaluator found that some of the projects were particularly costly and highlighted specific cost items.
With regard to individual projects, the beneficiaries of each project selected submit a final and a financial report to the Commission. The Commission analyses the reports and evaluates, also on the basis of its attendance in the actions, the way in which they have been implemented and the impact they have had in order to gauge whether the objectives have been achieved.
6.2.3. Terms and frequency of future evaluation . The programme will undergo an independent evaluation in 2011 and a detailed report on its implementation will be sent to the Council and the European Parliament by June 2012.
7. ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES
The careful examination at the Evaluation Committee, the discussions at the Commission’s relevant group and the financial analysis constitute guarantees against fraud. In addition, the beneficiaries are government agencies, usually law enforcement, which minimises the likelihood of fraud.
The Commission may carry out on-the-spot checks and inspections under this programme in accordance with Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) N° 2185/96[20]. Where necessary, investigations are conducted by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and governed by European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) N° 1073/1999[21].
The beneficiary of an operation grant must keep available for the Commission all the supporting documents, including the audited financial statement, regarding expenditure incurred during the grant year for a period of five years following the last payment. The beneficiary of a grant must ensure that, where applicable, supporting documents in the possession of partners or members are made available to the Commission.
