The proportion of items carried forward (expressed as a percentage) is calculated by reviewing two consecutive plans of publicly available central planning documents containing acquis alignment commitments (e.g. GAWP, EI plan), taking into account commitments (draft laws and by-laws related to transposition of EU directives) carried forward from one plan to the next. If the structure of the planning documents has changed substantially from one year to the next, 0 points are awarded. Point allocation: • 4 points = below 20% • 3 points = 20%-29.99% • 2 points = 30%-39.99% • 1 point = 40%-50% • 0 points = more than 50%
