4 5 YEAR INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL EVALUATION REPORT 1 st Evaluation of the 5 year term of the Agency: ; Background Council Regulation (EC) No 768/2005 Every five years the Administrative Board shall commission an independent external evaluation of the implementation of this Regulation

5 5 YEAR INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL EVALUATION REPORT Overall conclusion The evaluators overall assessment of the governance and performance of the CFCA 1 is positive although there is scope for improvements. On the whole, governance arrangements have worked well. Considering the agency s limited resources, its operation in the politically sensitive environment of fisheries policy, and current Member State budget constraints, performance against the evaluation criteria of relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability can be considered promising 2 1.The Agency name changed to European fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) on January Community Fisheries Control Agency, five-year independent external evaluation, final report (page 116)

6 5 YEAR INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL EVALUATION REPORT Desk research Evaluation Method Stakeholder consultations with 16 MS, EC, EP, ECA, EMSA,FRONTEX and 10 other organisations (RACs, NGOs) Survey feedback from 20 Member State and 5 EC representatives (76%); 46 RAC members and other stakeholders (20%)

7 5 YEAR INDEPENDENT EXTERNAL EVALUATION REPORT Evaluation report findings on performance 3 Relevance: alignment of the activity with relevant policy priorities and needs at EU and MS level; Efficiency: delivery of activities in line with schedules and resources, and on the general operation of the Agency; Effectiveness and Impact: deal respectively with the achievement of immediate and more long-term objectives; Sustainability: addresses issues related to the dissemination of knowledge and the integration of contents into MS systems and approaches. 3.The Evaluation report also covered the intervention logic and governance

17 ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS Following the 5 year independent external evaluation report the seminar on the 5 year independent external evaluation of the Agency Administrative Board recommendations

18 SUMMARY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS Level playing field and coordination and assistance for better compliance are considered as wider objectives of the Agency; Introduction of multi-species and continuous regional JDP with a solid legal basis and prioritisation; Examine periodically at which level EFCA involvement in the JDPs provides the best added value, in accordance with the existing legal basis; Establish a clear overarching road map for training, in particular the remaining areas of the Core Curricula, including the training of trainers;

19 SUMMARY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS Establishment of regional training for national inspectors, as well as Union inspectors; Implement the recently prepared method for assessing the performance of the JDPs after discussion at regional level; Development of indicators for measuring the effectiveness of capacity building; Develop a method for assessing cost effectiveness for Member States;

20 SUMMARY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS Show-case EFCA best practice on inter-agency and national agencies cooperation, and share EFCA experience on performance indicators for measuring administrative efficiency and effectiveness; Annual stock-taking of scientific evidence on developments with the fish stocks that the EFCA is focusing on. Consider scientific bodies request for access to data for scientific purposes; EFCA and the EC to study ways of exchanging data on compliance with the Common Fisheries Policy requirements, in accordance with data ownership requirements of Member States;

21 SUMMARY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS Administrative Board to focus on strategic issues, leaving routine matters to be decided by written procedure; The Board should reflect on the participation of other parties in the Administrative Board; It is too premature to propose an amendment of Agency regulation. Nevertheless a guidance document with clear description of responsibilities delimitation between EFCA, EC, and MS is recommended.

22 Draft MWP & AWP 2013 Considering the overarching objectives of sustainability, compliance, level playing field and available resources the Agency will concentrate on the core tasks in : 1. Multiannual positive priorities 2. Multiannual negative priorities

23 Draft MWP & AWP 2013 Proposed positive priorities 1.1- Operational Coordination Succeed in implementing the evolution towards regional, multispecies Joint Deployment Plans in force and coordination of control activities of Black Sea Member States. The process will require: Improving regional risk management; Assessment of impact of control activities; Reflections on the possible introduction of scientific input in the current JDP risk management and on controllability, intelligence and data analysis/cross checking in the JDP framework;

24 Draft MWP & AWP Capacity Building Proposed positive priorities a) Training: inter alia core curricula b) Support Member States, European Commission and horizontal agency activities: development of ICT projects (ERS, FISHNET, JADE, training platform, ICT mapping platform and EIR); Common fisheries Policy (CFP) reform inter alia discard ban; Maritime surveillance and new technologies based on the evaluation of the pilot project Acquisition of means for the Member States.

25 Draft MWP & AWP 2013 Proposed positive priorities Cooperation with Third Countries on Commission request Operational cooperation with Norway (and maybe Faeroes and Iceland) could be considered in the North Sea, and Pelagic Western Waters JDPs; Russia in the Baltic Sea and NAFO-NEAFC, Canada and USA; Mediterranean third countries.
