The experts were asked to identify key components of these terms so that theycould be easily understood <strong>and</strong> their ranking <strong>and</strong> consensus transparent <strong>and</strong> homogeneous. Components such asfinancial resources, educational aspects, staff resources, cultural issues <strong>and</strong> hierarchical aspects were some of theidentified topics. While discussing these components, the expert also identified several barriers to EU-wideapplicability <strong>and</strong> implementability. It was decided to draw a list of potential barriers for each PAP modality, <strong>based</strong>on a short literature <strong>review</strong> <strong>and</strong> expert input. These barriers were expected to be different in each country,depending on socio-economic <strong>and</strong> political factors, but the identification of such barriers could be used to fine-tunethe implementation details for the PAP modalities.Final five key modalitiesDuring this second expert meeting, each modality was discussed separately <strong>and</strong> either rejected, included, orcombined with another modality. The final five key PAP modalities are listed in Table 21.30
