Advisors and Observers

• Conclusions/recommendations
• eScope should help to collect and analyse outcome
  and define new targets and new dissemination
  messages.
• The 28 recommendations should be monitored on the
  website and the status and commitment should be
  evaluated. National activities should be better
  monitored.
• It will not be the role of eScope to give scores
  to the effort of the different stakeholders but
  only to point out good efforts and lacking
  efforts within the priority areas.
• Obstacles should be observed by eScope and
  measures to overcome obstacles should be
  proposed.
