The Court's report answers the following questions:
How effective was EU support in the area of freedom, security and justice for our eastern neighbours?
What are the main areas of failure and what are the reasons for under-performance in these areas?
Does the Commission have processes in place to learn lessons from such under-performance and have these processes been effectively employed in the design of new aid programmes?
