As of 15 February 2017 - and as anticipated by DG AGRI - the existing module for the transmission of information on EIP Operational Groups (EIP common format) has been fully integrated in the SFC2014 application.
- All information on EIP Operational Groups must now be submitted through the new fully integrated interface in order to be correctly transmitted to and displayed in the EIP website database. Transmission of OG project through the Excel version of the EIP common format is no longer possible.
- All OG project information previously submitted have been imported into the new interface. EAFRD managing authorities who have submitted OG projects through the Excel template are invited to access to the EIP module, verify the correctness of the information and submit for validation to the EC.
- The Excel version of the common format remains available for reference under the SFC support portal: https://ec.europa.eu/sfc/en/2014/support-ms/eip
