  4. Practitioners’ evaluations • Actual design of the CD could work against its public objectives • Which mechanisms determine to what extent public objectives of the CD procedure are realized? • Ex ante evaluation • Experts’ opinion on expected effected of the CD procedure • Ex post evaluation • Perceived effects of the CD procedure in practice
