No. Programme-specific indicators cannot replace the common indicators; the reporting of all common indicators is a basic/fundamental reporting requirement for the 2014-2020 programming period. The objectives set out in the performance framework can be related both to the common and programme-specific indicators. This, however, does not rule out that some of these indicators have the value 0.
Note that the EC encourages the use of common indicators for the development of programme-specific indicators (possibly through combinations of one-dimensional common output indicators, for example, young and low levels of education), since this would reduce the data collection burden and increase the consistency of reporting.
