Quality assessment of evaluation plans and reports in the area of State aid (EVALSA III): the 2025 activity report
This report presents the main results of the EVALSA III project conducted between October 2024 and September 2025. The collaboration between the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Directorate-General for Competition (DG COMP) was initiated in 2018, with the past year being the eighth consecutive year of scientific and methodological support in assessing evaluation plans and reports (both interim and final) for State aid schemes submitted by Member States. All evaluated reports from 2018 to 2025 are accessible online through the JRC online repository, which was developed in 2020. The JRC also conducted additional support activities for DG COMP in the area of State aid. First, it performed compliance checks in alignment with the State aid transparency requirements set by DG COMP. This involved verifying the completeness and accuracy of information published by Member States in the Transparency Award Module (TAM) or their national transparency registers. Second, DG COMP and the JRC jointly committed to enhancing the evaluative process as a "learning exercise" through two primary avenues: (i) creating supportive materials to assist Member States in their evaluation processes, and (ii) providing training sessions on evaluation. Third, the JRC was responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of Temporary Framework measures in aiding firms during the pandemic and for assessing how the quality of Member States’ evaluation reports has evolved over time.
