    Evaluation of the Firearms Directive [er] : executive summary. European Commission. Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry.
    Publication
    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2014], c2014.
    Summary
    The Firearms Directive (i.e. Directive 91/477/EEC as amended by Directive 2008/51/EC) aims at balancing internal market objectives (i.e. cross border movement of firearms) and security policy objectives (i.e. high level of security and protection against criminal acts and illicit trafficking) within the EU. The Firearms Directive was adopted in 1991. At that time, intra-EU frontiers and borders controls were about to be abolished including the firearms sector, which raised concerns as regards security safeguards. The Directive thus laid down the minimum requirements that Member States should impose as regards the acquisition and possession of the different categories of firearms to facilitate commercial exchange across Member Sates while guaranteeing the security of EU citizens. Furthermore, it regulates the conditions for the transfer of firearms across Member States, while granting more flexible rules for the transfer of hunting and target shooting weapons. The Firearms Directive is part of a set of initiatives taken at international level for the regulation of firearms. Its amendment in 2008 reinforces its security dimension to meet the EU international obligations which result from the Firearms Protocol2, in particular Art. 10 thereof on the prevention of illicit manufacturing and trade of firearms, their components and ammunition. The EU legislation includes comprehensive rules on the acquisition, possession and import/export of firearms, but it also leaves scope for national interpretation, standards and procedures on several aspects. Within the EU framework, Member States are indeed allowed to take more stringent measures in order to meet specific national needs.

    Evaluation of the Firearms Directive [er] : final report. European Commission. Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry.

    [Luxembourg] : [Publications Office], [2014], c2014.
    Summary
    This report presents the results of the evaluation study commissioned by Directorate General Enterprise and Industry with the aim of assessing the implementation of the Firearms Directive in all MS. The evaluation aims at providing the necessary input for the report that the European Commission shall, by the end of July 2015, “submit […] to the European Parliament and the Council on the situation resulting from the application of this Directive, accompanied, if appropriate, by amending proposals”. This evaluation is also included in the Commission's Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT), which aims at reviewing the entire stock of EU legislation to identify burdens, inconsistencies, gaps, overlaps and obsolete measures and to make, where necessary, proposals to follow-up on the findings of the review (COM(2013)685 and Annex). The evaluation study addresses five evaluation criteria identified in the Terms of Reference (ToR) that are: 1. Consistency of the implementation of the Directive’s provisions, of the interpretation of the key terms and an overall coherence of the Directive with other pieces of legislation dealing with weapons; 2. Relevance of such provisions with respect to the existing needs in the area of internal market functioning and EU citizens’ security; 3. Effectiveness in terms of the extent to which provisions have contributed to the achievement of set targets, i.e. their actual impacts; 4. Efficiency of procedures and obligations introduced by the Directive, namely if results have been achieved at reasonable costs; 5. Added value of EU intervention as opposed to national legislation and actions.

    Summary
    This report sets out the findings and recommendations of an evaluation of European cluster initiatives (ECI) managed by the European Commission, Directorate-General Enterprise and Industry (DG ENTR), unit D5 - Clusters and Support for SMEs. The evaluation was conducted between December 2013 and May 2014, under the Framework Service Contract ENTR/172/PP/2012/FC/LOT 4. Technopolis Group coordinated the study with the support of EY, the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) and associated experts. The evaluation was asked to focus on the impact of the ECI on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in order to identify what proved useful and why. The findings are intended to inform a future round of ECI in order to support business development and innovation more directly. With this in mind, the evaluation team was asked to develop an indicator framework to help capture the impact of the ECI on SMEs and the efficiency of cluster organisations in delivering services to SMEs.
