The proportion of items carried forward (expressed as a percentage) is calculated by comparing the most recent EI plans of two consecutive periods. If there is no separate EI plan and the GAWP includes a comprehensive list of EI-commitments, the comparison is based on the GAWP. The number of items carried forward from the first plan to the next is divided by the total number of commitments in the first plan. All EI-related commitments are taken into consideration for the calculation. If the structure of the consecutive plans has substantially changed so that no comparison is possible, no 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%
