1.The IPA III beneficiary shall have in place IPA sectoral monitoring committees to monitor annual and multiannual programmes implemented in indirect management by the IPA III beneficiary, which are financed under Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006, Regulation (EU) No 231/2014 and Regulation (EU) 2021/1529 in a specific sector. Such committees shall be in place no later than six months after the entry into force of the first financing agreement in that sector.

4.For cross-border cooperation programmes, the Joint Monitoring Committee referred to in Article 18 shall fulfil the functions of IPA sectoral monitoring committee.

5.Each IPA sectoral monitoring committee shall monitor the progress of programme implementation. It shall review the effectiveness, efficiency, quality, coherence, coordination and compliance of the implementation of the actions in the programme and their consistency with the relevant strategies.

6.Each IPA sectoral monitoring committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.

7.The IPA sectoral monitoring committee shall be composed of representatives of relevant IPA III beneficiary authorities and bodies, other stakeholders such as economic, social and environmental partners and international organisations, international financial institutions and civil society. The Commission shall participate in the work of the committee. A senior representative of the IPA III beneficiary shall chair the IPA sectoral monitoring committee meetings.
