Second Phase

Discussion

1) The Consortia Protocol of Intentions can be considered the first step in the discussion stage.

2) Ratification of the Protocol of Intentions in the Legislative Chambers;

3) Call and adoption of the Statute by the General Assembly and published in the official press.

The preparation of the Protocol of Intentions of the 29 Consortia was carried out between the years 1998 to 2013 and most of the Consortia concluded it. It is noteworthy, however, that the LCP is from the year 2005, which could justify the not signaling of its conclusion by the Consortia formed prior to this date.

The 29 Consortia showed a high percentage of carrying out steps for ratification and adoption of the Statute.

Among the creation of the Protocol and ratification, the Consortia pointed their fulfilment either in the same year or within two years of the date of preparation.

Execution

1) Beginning of activities;

2) Consortia operation-actual implementation of the Consortia’s activities.

Of the 29 consortia, 93% have indicated they have a Protocol of Intentions against 31% that are in operation. The Consortia that are not operating began with the elaboration of the Protocol of Intentions of between the years 2007 to 2013, mostly between the years 2009 and 2010. Based on the majority, if these consortia start operating in 2014, they took four to five years between the first stage of discussion and the last execution.
