How would the effectiveness of the scheme be monitored?
The Commission considers it advisable that, together with interested Member States, it should create a monitoring group to supervise the pilot scheme. The members of this group would consult one another, consider possible practical problems and assess the scheme’s success. Moreover, it would make sense for those Member States implementing the pilot scheme to draw up, by 31 December 2009, a detailed report containing an overall assessment of the pilot scheme’s effects. This would allow the Commission and the monitoring group to consider the possible prolongation or termination of the scheme and decide on the relevant procedures.
