(a)examine the progress of the programme in relation to its goals by means of result and, where appropriate, impact indicators;
(b)improve the quality of programmes and their implementation;
(c)examine proposals for substantive changes to programmes;
(d)prepare for mid-term and ex post evaluation.

4.In 2010, ongoing evaluation shall take the form of a separate mid-term evaluation report. That mid-term evaluation shall propose measures to improve the quality of programmes and their implementation.
A summary of the mid-term evaluation reports shall be undertaken on the initiative of the Commission.

6.The mid-term and ex post evaluations shall examine the degree of utilisation of resources, the effectiveness and efficiency of the programming of the EAFRD, its socioeconomic impact and its impact on the Community priorities. They shall cover the goals of the programme and aim to draw lessons concerning rural development policy. They shall identify the factors which contributed to the success or failure of the programmes’ implementation, including as regards sustainability, and identify best practice.
