The evaluation policy of European funds and instruments in Romania is developed and implemented within the framework established at Union level. Thus, a first complete definition of what constitutes an assessment and how it should be carried out was introduced by the Commission’s Guidelines on Better Regulation published on 19th of May 2015. Prior to this, although evaluations were already common practice in several DGs in the European Commission, there were various approaches between DGs. Concerning the evaluation of European funds and instruments in Romania, the general framework established by the regulation of better governance, as well as the specific provisions developed by DG Regional Policy and DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, are important.
