Study supporting the evaluation of EU agencies :Eurofound, Cedefop, ETF and EU-OSHA. Annex 7, Overview of costs and benefits

This Annex presents an summary of the cost and benefits examined in the accompaning main report produced for the study supporting the evaluation of EU Agencies: Eurofound, Cedefop, ETF and EU-OSHA. Values are presented in millions of euros (€) unless otherwise stated. The cost data is taken from the Agencies Consolidated Annual Activity Reports and the Agencies published accounts on their Activity Based Management (ABM) activities. Unless otherwise stated, the figures presented in the benefits section relate to the stakeholder and staff interviews and surveys carried out as part of this evaluation. Further details on the sources used are contained in the main report. The table presents direct costs and benefits identified through this evaluation. While the work of the agencies can be assumed to result in indirect outcomes as well as additional direct outcomes, identifying and quantifying these is highly challenging – for example, it is very difficult to identify specific skills or health outcomes that related back to the work of the Agencies, although many of the Agencies activities are esigned to lead to longer-term downstream effects on a wide range of individuals or organisations.
