A number of factors must be taken into account before evaluation in order to obtain optimal performances from the subjects:

Coordination on field level shall give emphasis to shared assessments of needs and performance and sector analysis as well as priorities.

performance shall be assessed in an objective and transparent manner on the basis of the following parameters: progress in implementing institutional reforms, country performance in the use of resources, effective implementation of current operations, poverty alleviation or reduction, sustainable development measures and macroeconomic and sectoral policy performance.

The remaining EUR 1 000 million shall be released on the basis of the performance review referred to in paragraph 7 of the Financial Protocol that shall be undertaken in 2004.

In evaluating the need for new resources, full account shall be taken of this performance review as well as of a date beyond which the funds of the 9th EDF will not be committed.

Whereas Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 880/92 states that environmental performance of a product shall be assessed by reference to the specific criteria for product groups;

Success of remnant ablation was assessed with radioiodine imaging and with serum thyroglobulin testing at 8 months after treatment.

For pain and disability (Oswestry score), the success rate was 72.9% versus 72.5% (95% two-sided CI of the difference: -11.2, 12.0).

for assessing the suitability and effectiveness of internal management systems and the performance of departments in implementing programmes and actions by reference to the risks associated with them;

Out of the EUR 13500 million referred to in paragraph 1, an amount of EUR 1000 million may be released only following a performance review undertaken by the Council in 2004, on the basis of a proposal from the Commission.

The success rate for radiologically determined fusion was 94.4% for InductOs versus 88.9% (95% two-sided CI of the difference: -1.53, 12.46) for autogenous bone graft.

To estimate the performance of the automated grading techniques, the results of the automated classification machine shall, for each validated carcase, be compared to the median of the results of the jury.

The success of thyroid remnant ablation also was assessed by the criterion of Thyrogen-stimulated serum Tg level < 2 ng/ ml eight months after ablation, but only in patients who were negative for interfering anti-Tg antibodies.

Before 31 December 2003, on the basis of the monitoring indicators referred to in Article 44(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Member States assessed under each objective, in close consultation with the Commission, the performance of each of their assistance documents.

An ex-ante evaluation has been performed in accordance with the financial management rules, in order to focus the programme on the need for effectiveness in achieving the objectives and to incorporate budgetary constraints from the design phase of the programme onwards.

Clinical success rate was defined as the number of cases assessed as having a clinical response (cure or improvement) divided by the total number of cases eligible for analysis.

The environmental performance and the fitness for use of the product group, as defined in Article 1, shall be assessed by reference to the specific ecological and performance criteria set out in the Annex and Appendix IA, IB, II, III and IV.

The Commission, through its Delegation in Tbilisi, shall liaise closely with the OSCE mission to Georgia in order to monitor and evaluate progress, so as to ensure the success of the action, as well as the correct use of the grant for the purposes set out in Article 1(2).

At the end of this programme, there should be a final assessment of the results obtained and a report to the European Parliament as to the future content policy and success/impact of this programme in achieving the objectives set out in this Decision.

These changes include capital expenditure that has been incurred during the period to improve or enhance an asset in excess of its originally assessed standard of performance or a commitment to discontinue or restructure the operation to which the asset belongs;

In order to assess their effectiveness, support for measures included in the programme shall be subject to prior and mid-term appraisal, on-going monitoring and ex-post evaluation designed to appraise the success and impact with respect to the defined objectives.

When fertility, calving aptitude and longevity are being evaluated, they must be assessed on the basis of data on fertilization (e.g. non-return-rate), calving score and on functional age (e.g. stayability, culling age, length of productive life), respectively.

Indeed, there is a need for technical and scientific support and a high level of stable expertise to properly apply the Community legislation in the fields of maritime safety and ship pollution prevention, to monitor its implementation and to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures in place.

For the purposes of this Decision, "benchmarking" means comparisons of working methods or the use of agreed, common indicators to measure performance which are used to identify differences in performance, and the processes involved in order to share experiences and learn from good practice in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

These characteristics shall include levels of environmental performance, design for all requirements (including accessibility for disabled persons) and conformity assessment, performance, safety or dimensions, including the procedures concerning quality assurance, terminology, symbols, testing and test methods, packaging, marking and labelling and production processes and methods.

rationalise and strengthen the management of resources already allocated for combating desertification and mitigating the effects of drought by using them more effectively and efficiently, assessing their successes and shortcomings, removing hindrances to their effective use and, where necessary, reorienting programmes in light of the integrated long-term approach adopted pursuant to this Convention;

The Committee for Medicinal products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that Helicobacter Test INFAI’ s benefits are greater than its risks for the in vivo diagnosis of gastroduodenal H. pylori infection in adults, adolescents who are likely to have peptic ulcer disease, and children aged three to 11 years for the evaluation of the success of eradication treatment, or when invasive tests cannot be performed, or when there are discordant results arising from invasive tests.

the use of farm advisory services by farmers, as provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and support schemes for producers of certain crops(10), in assessing the performance of farm businesses and identifying improvements required with regard to the statutory management requirements as set out in that Regulation.

"technical specification", in the case of public supply or service contracts, means a specification in a document defining the required characteristics of a product or a service, such as quality levels, environmental performance levels, design for all requirements (including accessibility for disabled persons) and conformity assessment, performance, use of the product, safety or dimensions, including requirements relevant to the product as regards the name under which the product is sold, terminology, symbols, testing and test methods, packaging, marking and labelling, user instructions, production processes and methods and conformity assessment procedures;
