view, structure of the problem touched by this evaluation. We have edited the whole
report in this sense once more and we have modified Chapter 6 noticeably, which is
the link between the evaluation outputs and its original assignment.
8) On page 35 there is a reasonable explanation of significance or purpose of
monitoring, but the same for evaluation is missing. In other words, as if it resulted
from the text that the evaluation is everything else than monitoring. However, in the
report where the purpose of monitoring is described relatively well and the
significance of the evaluation is in the background, this might happen to the
evaluation also in real life. It is still necessary to specify better the task of the
evaluation besides the monitoring. After all, it is mentioned also in the report that it is
necessary to define distinguishing of monitoring and evaluation clearly. Thus I would
add – it is necessary to define monitoring and evaluation against each other clearly
We have added clear definitions and differentiation of the terms monitoring and
evaluation. We have modified the whole text noticeably in such a way that it might
be more understandable.
9) On p. 35 a rather unusual term “transverse topics” is used. Does this mean horizontal
topics?
Yes, horizontal topics were concerned. With regard to the fact that the writer had
come out from English materials, translation and making Czech of the expression
horizontal occurred, which really cannot be substituted by the expression transverse
in Czech. According to our opinion, in the given context a material mistake was not
concerned for this was a general expression, in spite of that we have replaced this
expression with the expression horizontal.
10) Then on p. 37 there is an extremely long paragraph – “short summary of the partial
outputs …”
The paragraph has fused together by mistake during final editing. We have divided
the text of the paragraph according to the individual logical units and further we have
provided these units with crossheadings for better orientation.
11) It is stated on p. 43 that inter-governmental agreements must be concluded. I
perceive this as unrealistic, it is rather necessary to endeavour for supranational
cooperation of managing authorities; inter-governmental agreements aim too high
Also the settlement of comments in the Third Interim Report relates to this point
where this topic was solved in more details. We have modified the text in the sense
of the settlement of the Third Interim Report, thus we have left out the emphasis on
inter-governmental agreements, but we have stated the conditions, which must be
treated in some form of an agreement (competencies, responsibility, financing).
12) At the conclusion it is necessary to carry out a thorough language proofreading. The
Third Interim Report still contained a number of text mistakes, which are necessary
to be debugged in the Final Report (there were some grammatical mistakes in the
text)
Proofreading has been carried out.
