Objectives of evaluations
1. relevance • met the objectives set out in "marine knowledge 2020"?
2. management • resources available in due time, in appropriate quantity
and quality at the best price.
3. efficiency • could it have been done cheaper?
4. effectiveness• what worked and what didn’t
first sea-basin scale sediment maps
can identify ownership and gaps
Management – delays in final report

Expert Group Opinion• Need one entry portal
• Incorporate work done for research projects (PANGAEA)
• Think about merging geology and hydrography
• Can we timestamp the data?
• The preparatory actions are on the right track but they must be followed up. If the EU ceases to take an interest the momentum will be lost
Could it have been done more cheaply?
•We pay for deliverables not time so we do not know how much effort was put in.
•Administration costs by Commission 6% of budget
•Deliverables in terms of data availability per unit EU cost comparable with other initiatives
– Data Collection in Fisheries
– Frmaework Programme Research projects
– Global Monitoring for Environment and Security
•next phase 2011-2013 •financial regulation for maritime policy
– Fill gaps– Learn lessons from evaluation
