Recital 15

(15) The Commission should monitor the implementation of the STEP objectives to track progress towards the Union’s policy objectives. That monitoring should be conducted in a manner that is targeted and proportionate to the activities carried out under the STEP to avoid overregulation and administrative burden, in particular for the beneficiaries of funding. In order to ensure accountability to Union citizens, the Commission should report annually to the European Parliament and to the Council on the progress of the implementation of the STEP objectives under the respective programmes, on the overall expenditure of the STEP broken down by programme, and on the performance of the STEP based on the performance indicators provided for by those programmes. Where available, information should be provided on the STEP’s qualitative and quantitative contribution to cross-border projects and to projects per Member State.
