Staidéar 16-11-2015

This study is a comprehensive analysis of the Partnership Agreements adopted in the 28 EU Member States, also offering insight into the implementation of the elements that were endorsed by the European Parliament during the negotiations on the legislative framework. The research mainly highlights the compliance of the Partnership Agreements with the legal provisions, the state of play of the ex-ante conditionalities, and the alignment with the Europe 2020 Strategy. Strategic choices of the Member States as well as their programme architecture and coordination tools are described in the 28 summaries included in the study. Research results are synthesised in a cross-cutting analysis of the 28 Partnership Agreements showing differences and similarities of approaches taken by the Member States.
