Values for all common output indicators should be reported for all investment priorities chosen, excluding technical assistance priority axes.
Reporting result indicators is generally not required. However, where the Union contribution to the priority axis or axes concerning TA in an Operational Programme exceeds EUR 15 million, result indicators will have to be reported where objectively justified given the content of the actions.
Note that according to Article 96(2)(c)(iv) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, for each priority axis concerning technical assistance, the Operational Programme shall set out “the output indicators which are expected to contribute to the results”. It is thus a legal obligation to set and report output indicators and corresponding values (either programme-specific output indicators or common output indicators).
Member States can use the common indicators when relevant or define their own (output and result) programme-specific indicators which better reflect the interventions covering TA (see section on Technical assistance in Annex D of the EC Guidance document on Monitoring and Evaluation).
