  Photovoltaics is a solar-power technology for generating electricity using semiconductor devices known as solar cells. A number of solar cells form a solar ‘module’ or ‘panel’, which can then be combined to form solar power systems, ranging from a few watts of electricity output to multi-megawatt power stations. Growth in the solar photovoltaic sector has been robust. The Compound Annual Growth Rate over the last 15 years was over 40 %, thus making photovoltaics one of the fastest growing industries at present. The PV Status Report provides comprehensive and relevant information on this dynamic sector for the interested public, as well as decision-makers in policy and industry.

  The Annual Management and Performance Report for the EU Budget presents the latest information on the results achieved with the EU budget (Section 1), and on how the EU budget is managed and protected (Section 2). Section 1 is structured by budget heading. It explains how the EU’s financial programmes have contributed to the EU’s political priorities. It also summarises the latest evaluation results on how these programmes have performed. 2018 was the fifth year of the current multiannual financial framework, which runs from 2014 to 2020. Due to the late adoption of the multiannual financial framework, delays were experienced at the beginning of the period. Now, the EU’s financial programmes are fully operational. They offer strong and tangible support to the EU’s political priorities in a variety of areas.

  Eurojust consolidated annual activity report 2018
  

  The strengthening of Eurojust’s position as the centre for operational judicial cooperation and coordination was reflected in 2018 by the 19% increase in the number of cases, the 15% increase in the number of coordination meetings and the further development of operational tools.

  The strengthening of Eurojust’s position as the centre for operational judicial cooperation and coordination was reflected in 2018 by the 19% increase in the number of cases, the 15% increase in the number of coordination meetings and the further development of operational tools. In 2018, Eurojust supported 235 JITs, facilitated the execution of more than 700 European Arrest Warrants and supported the use of nearly 1 000 European Investigation Orders. Eurojust reinforced its operational cooperation with its partners and third States through a 22% increase in the number of common cases, and by welcoming two new Liaison Prosecutors, from Ukraine and the Republic of North Macedonia. In addition, Eurojust concluded a cooperation agreement with Albania and established 22 new contact points in third States. The positioning of Eurojust as a centre of expertise in judicial cooperation in cross-border crime was reinforced by Eurojust’s active participation in COSI meetings and related activities and through its deliverables in all crime priority areas. Eurojust enhanced its strategic cooperation with partners in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice by having a strong collaboration with all JHA agencies and reinforcing its cooperation with the three networks that it hosts. Eurojust promoted the added value of the judicial response in the fight against serious cross-border crime by participating in all EMPACT activities. In addition, Eurojust strengthened its external communication capabilities by adopting a new Action Plan on External Communication for 2019 and a new visual identity. The new Eurojust Regulation becomes applicable on 12 December 2019. Eurojust established an Advisory Group on Organisational Development to manage the implementation process and establish a close relationship with the EPPO. A constant increase in operational workload within a stern budgetary climate, as well as a decrease in human resources, has prompted Eurojust to continue refining its organisational structure and processes. In 2018, the College sub-structures and their mandate were revised to ensure enhanced support to operational and organisational priorities. Phase II of Eurojust’s organisational restructuring was developed during 2018, following an evaluation of the first phase of the reorganisation. The goal was to refine the operational function and redesign the administrative and support services to safeguard the delivery of efficient and high-quality services. The new structure was implemented in Q1 2019 (Annex III). The development of a Workforce Planning function will further ensure that Eurojust has the right data for strategic decision-making. To promote a positive organisational culture, Eurojust launched an internal communications campaign and undertook targeted actions to increase the well-being and performance of post-holders. In 2018, Eurojust achieved a 99.94% budget execution, with a payment execution of 87%, over a € 38,606,737 million budget.

  In 2018, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) concluded complex, large-scale investigations, stopping fraudsters in Europe and beyond from pocketing EU money. OLAF investigations ranged from cross-border cases involving collusion between beneficiaries and contractors to major undervaluation fraud cases where fraudsters made a profit from declaring falsely low values for goods at import in the EU, or cases of corruption in high-value EU tenders.

  ECHA’s annual Work Programmes outline the Agency’s activities and outputs for each year. These are measured against specific indicators and estimates, through which achievements can be followed up. Many of the performance indicators set in the annual Work Programme are evaluated with the help of statistical data and a number of non-numerical indicators are evaluated through a stakeholder survey. The annual stakeholder survey provides ECHA with valuable input on how its stakeholders perceive the Agency’s work. The survey gives an indication on whether ECHA is on the right track and in which areas it could improve. It also provides valuable input for the planning of future activities. One important part of the survey is the possibility for stakeholders to provide feedback in the form of free text. Although these texts are not published, ECHA analyses both these and the entire survey throughout, using the detailed information internally to improve its processes. At the end of the survey, the respondents were also requested to provide feedback on the survey itself. ECHA is also using this information as well as the lessons learnt to constantly improve the design of the survey. The survey results are used to gauge stakeholders’ satisfaction with ECHA’s work in 2018 and are also reflected in ECHA’s General Report. This report contains more detailed results of the 2018 survey. The survey for ECHA’s Committees was executed in July-August and the annual stakeholder survey in November-December 2018. The latter was open to respondents between 12 November and 6 December 2018. It received 889 viable responses from 12 666 recipients. Thus, its reply rate was 7.0 % (in 2017 6.3 %). The median time used to fill in the survey was 15 minutes. The results presented in this report are a combination of the two surveys. ECHA would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who took their time to answer the surveys.
