Ex post evaluation of cohesion policy programmes 2007-2013, focusing on the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and Cohesion Fund (CF) : work package 6, environment : final report

The project 'Ex post Evaluation of Cohesion Policy Programmes 2007-2013 Co-Financed by the ERDF/CF, Work Package 6' was one out of a number of work packages included in the ex post evaluation organised by DG Regional and Urban Policy. The evaluation analysed the progress and achievements of Cohesion Policy in selected areas of environmental infrastructure: drinking water, wastewater treatment, and solid waste management. Due to the nature of the projects supported, it is difficult in practice to distinguish between water and wastewater projects and so these were combined in the analysis. This report therefore presents results of the evaluation for two major policy areas: waste management and water.
