Evaluation of the European Customs Inventory of Chemical Substance (ECICS) : final report

The objective of the evaluation was to provide a holistic as well as retrospective / ex post evaluation of the functioning of ECICS in all its operational aspects. The scope of the evaluation covered both the publicly available and secure versions of ECICS. In terms of temporal scope, the evaluators considered the period from ECICS' inception in 1974 to spring 2017. The research was based on ten specific evaluation questions across the criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, sustainability and EU added value.
