Evaluation
Article 14
1. All Networks and their Members shall be periodically evaluated, at the latest every five years after their approval or last evaluation. 2. On receiving the request for evaluation from the Coordinator of a Network, the Commission shall appoint a body to evaluate the Network and its Members. 3. The evaluation body shall verify and assess: (a) the fulfilment of the criteria and conditions set out in Delegated Decision 2014/286/EU; (b) the accomplishment of the objectives set out in Article 12(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU; and (c) the outcomes and performance of the Network and the contribution of each Member. 4. The evaluation body shall draw up an evaluation report on the Network and send it to the Commission, the Board of the Network and the Members of the Network. 5. The evaluation body shall draw up an evaluation report on each Member of the Network and send it to the Commission and the Member in question. 6. The Coordinator and Members of the Network may send comments to the evaluation body within two months of receiving the report. On receiving the comments, the evaluation body shall amend its evaluation report explaining whether the comments justify a change in its evaluation. 7. Any termination of a Network or loss of membership on account of a negative evaluation must be approved by the Board of Member States referred to in Article 6. The Board of Member States may offer the Network or the Member in question one year to remedy the shortcomings identified before carrying out a new evaluation. That period of time shall only be offered to a specific Network or Member of a Network if the Board of the Network presents an improvement plan.
