CHAPTER 7

By 20 May 2007, the Centre shall commission an independent external evaluation of its achievements on the basis of terms of reference issued by the Management Board in agreement with the Commission. The evaluation shall assess: the possible need to extend the scope of the Centre’s mission to other relevant Community-level activities in the field of public health, in particular to health monitoring; and the timing of further such reviews. This assessment shall take into account the tasks of the Centre, the working practices and the impact of the Centre on the prevention and control of human disease, and shall include an analysis of the synergy effects and the financial implications of such an extension. The evaluation shall take into account the views of the stakeholders, at both Community and national level. The Management Board shall examine the conclusions of the evaluation and issue to the Commission such recommendations as may be necessary regarding changes in the Centre, its working practices and the scope of its mission. The Commission shall forward the evaluation report and the recommendations to the European Parliament and the Council and make them public. After assessment of the evaluation report and the recommendations, the Commission may submit any proposals for amendments to this Regulation which it deems necessary. The Centre shall be operational by 20 May 2005. This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
