Eurostat conducts two types of evaluations that assess Eurostat's performance in general:

Evaluations of the European statistical programmes

The obligation to carry out mid-term and ex-post evaluations of the multiannual European statistical programmes is contained in the Programme itself. The evaluations should assess whether and how the objectives of the programme were achieved and lead to some recommendations for improvements in the design and monitoring of future programmes. You will find below the most recent evaluations.
