This process includes, in particular:
– analysing the current state and identifying areas requiring change;
– developing, implementing, and regularly updating the Action Plan;
– monitoring progress and evaluating the effectiveness of actions undertaken;
– preparing a report for the European Commission on the implementation of HRS4R and the Action Plan (every three years);
– periodic assessments of the implementation of HRS4R and the Action Plan (every three years), carried out by the European Commission, together with recommendations for further action.
