Short description:
The evaluation shall be done through the assessment of the RDP's net contribution to changes in the CAP impact indicator values and through answering the Common Evaluation Questions (CEQs). The CEQs are mainly cause and effect questions that assess scheme impacts and results on the basis of evidence derived from mandatory indicators, agreed up by the Commission and DAFM, and additional indicators developed by DAFM. For the 2019 evaluation, the evaluation must also quantify the CAP impact indicators. Other information, such as survey data and non-beneficiary data from national statistics, annual accounts and the National Farm Survey, can also be used in the evaluations.
