More specifically, the paper analyzes their performance using the criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and utility. Furthermore, the author has sought to provide guidance for the development of the next generation of programs in both areas ("Europe for Citizens" and "Lifelong Learning") for the period 2007-2013.
