5.DESCRIPTION AND GROUNDS
5.1.Need for Community intervention
5.1.1.Objectives pursued
The European Union has an important role to play in the development of a modern, innovative and sustainable European social model with more and better jobs in an inclusive society based on equal opportunities. Article 2 of the Treaty states that the Community shall have as its tasks, inter alia, to promote throughout the Community a high level of employment and of social protection and the raising of the standard of living and quality of life and economic and social cohesion.
In order to achieve those objectives, a number of problems have to be addressed:
The Commission has to ensure that it has the necessary knowledge and understanding of the situation prevailing in the Member States in order to exercise its right of initiative;
Effective policy coordination in the areas of employment and social protection/inclusion requires the development of statistical tools and methods and common indicators;
The Commission has to ensure that the EU law and policy objectives are implemented in a uniform way in the Member States and should be able to assess their impact;
Effective policy coordination in the areas of employment and social protection/inclusion requires the promotion of networking, mutual learning, identification and dissemination of good practice at EU level between institutional players;
There is a clear need to increase awareness on the part of stakeholders and the general public about the EU policies pursued in the areas of employment and social protection/inclusion;
At the same time, the key EU networks lack capacity to promote and support EU policies in the areas of employment and social protection/inclusion.
Examples of indicators and criteria for the evaluation are presented in the

The DG EMPL
5.1.2.1. Use of evaluation results and lessons from the past
In the context described above, the evaluation results available show how appropriate the different action supported to achieve the goals set in the Social Policy Agenda have been. Several innovative approaches have been evaluated. The evaluation results already published are presented in Annex 1 Evaluation results and Annex 2 List of evaluations carried out. The

A logic frame derived from evaluation of the programmes has helped to structure the definition of general, specific and operational objectives of the Framework Programme.
The preparatory works have started just after the financial framework decision. Internal working groups have been set up with representatives of the units concerned, SPP and the evaluation unit.
5.1.2.3. Recommendations
In addition to supporting design of the policy, the

implementation | |||
Conclusion 1 | |||
– The approach is relevant and justified regarding the overall objectives. | |||
– Action supported is effective and needs to be focused on activities that create the | |||
most EU added value. | |||
– There is an adequate level of efficiency with the current level of funding and it is | |||
necessary to merge the smaller budget lines (often created under EU Parliament | |||
pressure). | |||
– The proposals to improve and simplify the delivery mechanisms are appropriate | |||
and it is necessary to take into account the human resources constraints. | |||
– Compared with the previous period of implementation, the main change | No specific | ||

Conclusion 2 | |||
The Framework Programme objectives have been designed to ensure more explicit | |||
targeting on the instruments/strategy needed to implement the EU objectives. | |||
SV | 6 | SV |
Specific objectives have been set regarding the EU powers laid down in the Treaty. | ||||
The value added regarding those specific objectives has been identified. Operational | ||||
objectives have been set and examples of related indicators provided. | ||||
The common framework for setting objectives will significantly reinforce the | ||||
internal/external coherence of the activities financed at the level of the Commission. | ||||
One of the main changes introduced compared with the |

programmes is to streamline the operations previously carried out under different | Attention should be paid | |||

5.1.3.Measures taken following ex post evaluation
Lessons from the available interim evaluations have been taken into consideration in the exante evaluation.
5.2.Action envisaged and budget intervention arrangements
In order to achieve the general objectives described in point 5.1.1, it has been decided to establish a Framework Programme split into five sections corresponding to specific objectives relating to five different areas of activity:
Employment: Section 1 will support implementation of the European Employment Strategy based on the Treaty.
Social protection and inclusion: Section 2 will support implementation of the open method of coordination in the field of social protection and inclusion.
SV | 7 | SV |
Working conditions: Section 3 will support improvement of the working environment and conditions, including health and safety at work, as enshrined in the Treaty.
Gender equality: Section 5 will support effective implementation of the principle of gender equality, as enshrined in the Treaty, and promote gender mainstreaming in EU policies.
Each of these specific objectives has then been further specified in operational objectives, as mentioned in the Decision (see Articles 4 to 9).
In order to achieve the main, specific and operational objectives, the Decision establishing the Framework Programme provides for a wide range of possible measures. They can be classified into three different types:
Analytical and mutual learning activities: This type of action will cover carrying out studies, surveys, evaluations and peer reviews, preparing guides and reports and developing common methodologies and indicators.
Awareness and dissemination activities: This type of action will cover, inter alia, organising conferences to support implementation of Community law and policy objectives, media campaigns, events and training seminars.
Support for main players: This type of action will cover financing key EU networks operating in at least one section of the Framework Programme, funding networks of experts and institutional bodies,
A detailed presentation of the practical action envisaged under each section and their link with the operational objectives is included in the table in point 6.2.
5.3 Methods of implementation
The abovementioned action may be financed:
either by a service contract following a call for tenders;
or by a
The Commission will implement this Framework Programme and may have recourse to technical and/or administrative assistance to the mutual benefit of the Commission and of the beneficiaries, for example to finance outside expertise on a specific subject.

Indicators will be put in place to monitor efficiency and effectiveness with attainment of the operational objectives. The output indicators are directly related to the specific activity carried out. They will be defined in terms of number of projects, main characteristics and cost.
