Competitiveness and innovation framework program cip

The workprogrammes shall set out in detail the objectives and priorities, the criteria for the selection and evaluation of the measures needed for their implementation, operational timetables and the rules for participation. The Commission shall establish annual work programmes for the specific programmes and ensure their implementation. This is expected to facilitate in particular the participation of SMEs. A 'Strategic advisory board' on competitiveness and innovation will advise the Commission.

It will be composed by representatives of industry and business associations, including those representing SMEs and other experts. The expertise of the representatives should be related to the sectors and issues addressed by CIP, including financing, ICT, energy and eco-innovation. The cooperation with international financial institutions will involve international development banks such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development EBRD.

The CIP is open to the participation of third countries including: - European Free Trade Association EFTA countries that are members of the European Economic Area EEA ; - accession and candidate countries benefiting from a pre-accession strategy; - countries of the Western Balkans; - other third countries, when agreements and procedures so allow. The The CIP and its specific programmes shall be subject to interim and final evaluations. Such evaluations will examine issues such as relevance, coherence and synergies, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability utility, and, where appropriate, distribution of funding with regard to sectors.

In addition to these, the final evaluation will examine the extent to which the CIP as a whole, and each of its specific programmes has achieved its objectives. The evaluations shall include external evaluations to be conducted by independent, impartial bodies. A specific and indicative budget shall be reserved for each specific programme.
