    Disaggregated data on interventions and beneficiaries


     

    PURPOSE

    This document describes the actions related to the to transmission in SFC2021 of the disaggregated Data on Interventions and Beneficiaries (DIB) for EAGF (Direct Payments) and EAFRD funds, by the Member States to the Commission for each agricultural financial year within programming period 2023-2027.

    From the reporting year 2025 onwards, Member States shall report such data, annually by 30 April of the year N in relation to interventions for which payments have been made in the agricultural financial year N-1. In 2024, Member States may report the disaggregated data on interventions by 30 November 2024 in relation to interventions paid in the agricultural financial year 2023.

    Create DIB


     

    Remark

    The User is an identified User and has the role of MS Paying Agency or MS Coordinating Body) with Update rights (MSPAu or MSCBu).

    The User must have the role for the fund(s), EAGF and/or EAFRD, managed by the Paying Agency. If the Paying Agency deals with EAGF, he will need the role for EAGF. If the Paying Agency deals with EAFRD, he will need the role for EAFRD. If the Paying Agency deals with both, he will need the role for both EAGF and EAFRD.

    The CSP is adopted and managed on the User's Node.

    Only one DIB ‘package’ per Paying Agency and Financial Period can be created. For this DIB ‘package’, several versions (=work_version) could be created when a previous version has been requested for revision by EC.


     

    1. To create the DIB initial version, go to the Monitoring > Data on Monitoring and Evaluation menu and select the Interventions/Beneficiaries option:


     


     

    1. In the search screen click on the Create button to create a new DIB initial version:


     


     

    You are redirected to the DIB Creation Wizard:


     


     

    1. Enter or select the following information:

    (1) Select the Paying agency.

    The Paying Agency list contains all Paying Agencies valid at the moment of the creation of the DIB first version for the country for which the User is registered and for which a DIB version is not yet created for this financial period. The list returns the Paying Agencies code and name. It means that the MS will create one DIB ‘package’ per Paying Agency and not only one DIB ‘package’ per CCI.

    (2) Select the Financial period.

    The first version of a DIB can only be created and submitted during the Declaration period which is defined as the first day after the end of Financial period until 30 April of the following year.

    For instance, for Financial period 2024 from 16/10/2023 to 15/10/2024, the Declaration period is 16/10/2024 to 30/04/2025.

    For Financial period 2023 from 01/01/2023 to 15/10/2023, the Declaration period is 16/10/2023 to 30/11/2024.

    In case a DIB version is returned by EC for revision, MS can create and submit a new version after the end of Declaration period (=submission deadline).

    In case the MS didn’t send any version for financial period 2023 then financial period 2024 will be from 01/01/2023 to 15/10/2024.

    Financial periods and Declaration periods are defined for all MS identically. It's not possible to advance or postpone a period for only one MS or for a set of MS. Therefore, any modifications of a Period will impact all MS.

    The version and the Financial period are automatically prefilled by the system at the creation of a new DIB, depending on the opened Declaration period(s) and depending on already created DIB.

    (3) Enter the National reference if applicable.

    (4) Enter Comments if necessary.

    (5) Select the Source language.

    (6) Click on Create.


     

    The status of the DIB version is Open.


     

    Remark

    The ‘Fund(s)’ field is automatically filled and contains the Fund(s) (‘EAGF’; ‘EAFRD’ or ‘EAGF/EAFRD’) depending on the funds covered by the Paying Agency selected above.

    At the creation, the DIB version will be linked to the last adopted (by EC or MS) CAP plan before the end of the financial period.

    On Create, when the preconditions are met, the initial DIB structure is created and a Table of Content (ToC)/Navigation Tree is presented, so the User can continue to populate the structured data of the DIB version.


     


     

    Record/Edit DIB


     

    Remark

    The User is an identified User and has the role of MS Paying Agency or MS Coordinating Body with Update rights (MSPAu or MSCBu).

    The User must have the role for the fund(s), EAGF and/or EAFRD, managed by the Paying Agency. If the Paying Agency deals with EAGF, he will need the role for EAGF. If the Paying Agency deals with EAFRD, he will need the role for EAFRD. If the Paying Agency deals with both, he will need the role for both EAGF and EAFRD.

    When editing a version of a DIB, its status is Open, Validated, Ready to send or Sent at the level of the Member State or Revision requested by MS and currently resides on the User's Node.

    Manual encoding by MS for the DIB (Disaggregated Data on Interventions and Disaggregated Data on Beneficiaries) version will not be possible. The manual encoding will apply only for the creation of the initial DIB version and the encoding/modification of some of the ‘General’ sections (‘Version information’, ‘Officials in charge’, ‘Observations’).

    The edition of a DIB (Disaggregated Data on Interventions and Disaggregated Data on Beneficiaries) version is only possible through the upload of XML/CSV files by MS.

    Validate DIB


     

    Remark

    The DIB version can be validated at any time, when the current version is in status Open and resides at the User’s Node.

    The User must have the role of MS Paying Agency or MS Coordinating Body with Update or Send rights (MSPAu/s or MSCBu/s).

    The User must have the role for the fund(s), EAGF and/or EAFRD, managed by the Paying Agency. If the Paying Agency deals with EAGF, he will need the role for EAGF. If the Paying Agency deals with EAFRD, he will need the role for EAFRD. If the Paying Agency deals with both, he will need the role for both EAGF and EAFRD.


     

    Click on the Validate button to validate the DIB version:


     


     

    Remark

    An Error will block you from sending the DIB version. The error(s) should be resolved and the DIB version must be revalidated. Note that a Warning does not block you from sending the DIB version.


     

    The system validates the following information:

    Prepare DIB for send to EC


     

    Remark

    The Prepare for Send can occur when a User on the highest MS Node wants to indicate that the DIB version can be prepared for sending to the Commission, once the Validation Errors have been removed and the status is Validated or Sent (from a lower Node).

    The User must have the role of MS Paying Agency or MS Coordinating Body with Update or Send rights (MSPAu/s or MSCBu/s).

    If the MS has nominated a Coordination Body, the User should have the role MS Coordinating Body (MSCB), otherwise he should have role of MS Paying Agency (MSPA).

    The User must have the role for the fund(s), EAGF and/or EAFRD, managed by the Paying Agency. If the Paying Agency deals with EAGF, he will need the role for EAGF. If the Paying Agency deals with EAFRD, he will need the role for EAFRD. If the Paying Agency deals with both, he will need the role for both EAGF and EAFRD.


     

    1. Click on the Prepare for send to EC button to prepare to send the DIB version, to theCommission:


     


     

    The system will ask you to confirm the send action:

    The status of the DIB version is set to Preparing for send to EC.


     


     

    Send DIB


     

    Remark

    The Send can occur when a User wants to send its recorded data on a DIB version to the Commission or to an upper Node.

    The DIB version can only be sent once the Validation Errors have been removed and the status is Ready To Send or Sent (from a lower node).

    The "4 eyes principle" must be respected. Therefore, the User sending must be different from the User who last validated.

    The User must have the role of MS Paying Agency or MS Coordinating Body with Send rights (MSPAs or MSCBs).

    For the submission to EC, if the MS has nominated a Coordination Body, the User should have the role MS Coordinating Body (MSCB), otherwise he should have role of MS Paying Agency (MSPA).

    The User must have the role for the fund(s), EAGF and/or EAFRD, managed by the Paying Agency. If the Paying Agency deals with EAGF, he will need the role for EAGF. If the Paying Agency deals with EAFRD, he will need the role for EAFRD. If the Paying Agency deals with both, he will need the role for both EAGF and EAFRD.


     

    1. Click on the Send button to send the DIB version to the Commission or to an upper Node:


     


     

    The system will ask you to confirm the send action:

    On success, the DIB version has been sent to the Commission or to an upper Node. When sent, the status is set to Sent.


     

    Remark

    When on the highest MS node, different versions of the generated “Snapshot before send” document will be available so that the sender can first verify what will be sent to the Commission


     


     

    Request for Revised DIB version by MS


     

    Remark

    The DIB version can only be revised by MS when a lower Node exists and the status is Sent (to a higher MS node), Open, Validated, Ready to Send or Revision requested by MS.

    This action can be used when a User wants to request a revision for the DIB version sent by the Member State/Region because it is incomplete or incorrect.

    The User must have the role of MS Paying Agency or MS Coordinating Body with Update rights (MSPAu or MSCBu).

    The User must have the role for the fund(s), EAGF and/or EAFRD, managed by the Paying Agency. If the Paying Agency deals with EAGF, he will need the role for EAGF. If the Paying Agency deals with EAFRD, he will need the role for EAFRD. If the Paying Agency deals with both, he will need the role for both EAGF and EAFRD.
