CONCLUSIONS
Feed-back to the questionnaire - Low participation
Activity of the Network
- Only 8 MS used the Network
- Only 11 questions in 10 months
- 44% of the respondents considered that an unreasonable n.º of answers was received
The majority of the respondents stated that the NCP tasks weren’t fulfilled
The majority of the respondents believes the group has to be restructured
The Network is nowadays mostly inactive
We say it’s a low level of participation as we expected to received two answers from each member states, with the exception of those o assume both functions (HR members and NCP)
As we already so only 8 MS tried to obtain information through the Network
In 10 months were raised only 11 questions – an average of 1 question per month
A positive aspect is the fact that respondents considered to have received answers with the information neede – what shows a good level of expertise.
