Monitoring, control and evaluation
Article 5
1. The High Representative shall monitor the respect by the beneficiary of the obligations set out in Article 3. This monitoring shall be used to provide awareness of the context and the risks of breaches of the obligations set out in Article 3, and to contribute to the prevention of such breaches, including violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law by the units supported under the assistance measure. 2. The post-shipment control of equipment and supplies shall be organised as follows: (a) delivery verification, whereby EPF delivery certificates are to be signed by the end-user forces upon transfer of ownership; (b) reporting on the inventory, whereby the beneficiary is to report annually on the inventory of designated items until such reporting is no longer deemed to be necessary by the Political and Security Committee (PSC); (c) on-site inspection, whereby the beneficiary is to grant the High Representative access to conduct on-site control upon request. 3. The High Representative shall conduct an evaluation, in the form of a structured first assessment of the assistance measure, six months after the first delivery of equipment. This may entail on-site visits to inspect the equipment, supplies and services delivered under the assistance measure, or any other effective forms of independently provided information. A final evaluation shall be conducted upon completion of the delivery of equipment, supplies and services under the assistance measure to assess whether the assistance measure has contributed to reaching the objectives referred to in Article 1(2).
