    Click here to see the Programme IJG workflow diagram in high resolution.


     


     

    Create the Programme IJG


     

    Remark

    The User is an identified User and has the role of MS Managing Authority with Update rights (MSMAu) for the Funds that are covered by the Programme.

    A CCI number must have been Allocated by the Commission in order for you to create a Programme IJG.


     

    IMPORTANT!

    When there is no Partnership Agreement, or no choice made yet in the Partnership Agreement, the User will not be allowed to create the Programme and an alert message in red will be shown: “The choice of the form of the Union contribution to technical assistance (Article 36(4) or Article 36(5) CPR) has not yet been made in the partnership agreement. Therefore, you cannot yet create your programme”.

    When a choice was made, the User needs to be aware and needs to be sure this is a final choice. This choice is for all MS Programmes and cannot be modified during the Programming period. An alert message in red will be shown: “Attention: Before creating your programme, please make sure the choice of the form of the Union contribution to technical assistance has been intentionally made in the Partnership Agreement and is final. Changing this choice in the Partnership Agreement after creation of this programme will require a delete and a re-create of this programme, resulting in a total loss of all already encoded data on the programme.”

    “For the outermost regions only” is enabled for Member States with outermost regions (OutermostRegion).

    When the User doesn't have edit permission for a Fund, the Fund checkbox will be disabled.

    The Cohesion Fund checkbox will be disabled for Member States not covering the Cohesion Fund.


     

    1. To access the Programme IJG go to the Programming menu and select the Programme IJG option:


     


     

    1. In the search screen click on the Create button to create a new Programme IJG:


     


     

    You are redirected to the Programme IJG Creation Wizard:


     


     

    1. Enter or select the following information:

    (1) Select the CCI Number

    The CCI list contains all allocated IJG (ERDF, CF, ESF+ and JTF) CCIs for the Country of the User's Node and which contain the Funds for which the User is registered (The User needs update permission for all Funds covered by the CCI). If the CCI code is not in the list, the User can request a new CCI via the CCI Request form.

    (2) Modify or Enter the Title.

    The ‘Title in EN’ field is always present. For each of the official languages of the MS different from English an extra Title field will be present.

    (3) Select the First Year and the Last Year.

    First Year is pre-filled with 2021 and Last Year with 2027. Both fields can be updated but First Year needs to be smaller or equal than Last Year and between 2021 and 2027.

    (4) Select the Funds.

    When the BudgetSource of the CCI indicates multiple Funds ‘FF’, the system will foresee checkboxes for the Funds ‘ERDF’, ‘CF’, ‘ESF+’ and ‘JTF’, and will check the Funds checked in the CCI Request. When the BudgetSource of the CCI indicates a mono-Fund, the system will only foresee and check the relevant Fund (‘RF’=>’ERDF’, ‘SF’=>’ESF+’, ‘CF’=>’CF’, ‘JTF’=>’JT’) and it will not be updateable. At least one Fund needs to be selected.

    (5) Select the Source language.

    (6) Enter any additional Comments.

    (7) Click on Create to confirm creation of the the Programme IJG.


     

    The status of the Programme IJG is Open.


     

    Remark

    The initial Programme IJG structure is created, and a Table of Content (ToC)/Navigation Tree is presented, so the User can enter the structured data of the Programme IJG.

    The system will automatically:

    • For non-TA Programmes, create all Horizontal Enabling Conditions and their related Criteria by leaving Fund and Specific Objective empty (T12).

    • Create one record for the Managing Authority, one for the Audit Authority and one for the Body which receives payments from the Commission (T13).

    • When JTF is selected, enable the TJTP Table of Contents.


     


     

    Record/Edit the Programme IJG

    General


     

    This section includes the header data to identify the main characteristics of the Programme IJG.


     

    Version Information


     

    Note

    The Version Information contains information on the identification and status of the Programme IJG like the CCI, the Title, the Version Number, the Status, the Node where it currently resides and eventually the Decision information. It also shows the results of the last validation done on this Programme version. The Eligibility Period will automatically be set to 01/01/2021-31/12/2029 when creating the first version.


     

    1. Click on the Edit button to access the edit form to modify the information.


     


     

    The Edit form appears:


     


     

    1. Enter or select the following information:

    (1) Select the CCI.

    CCI can only be updated when Version 1. But it can only be replaced by a CCI with the same BudgetSource or a multi-Fund BudgetSource (FF), and the same ObjectSubType. The CCI list contains all allocated CCIs of the same BudgetSource and of the multi-Fund BudgetSource (FF), and of the same ObjectSubType for the Country of the User's Node and which contain the Funds for which the User is registered (User needs edit permission for all Funds covered by the CCI).

    (2) Enter the Title in English.

    (3) Enter the Title in (other language).

    For each of the official languages of the MS different from English an extra Title field will be present.

    (4) Select the First year and Last year.

    In Version 1, First Year is pre-filled with 2021 and Last Year with 2027. Both fields can be updated. In subsequent versions, only the Last Year can be extended up until 2027.

    (5) Select the Funds concerned.

    When version = 1 or ( > 1 but never adopted), when the BudgetSource of the CCI indicates multiple Funds ‘FF’, the system will foresee the Funds ‘ERDF’, ‘CF’, ‘ESF+’ and ‘JTF’. When the BudgetSource of the CCI indicates a mono-Fund, the system will only foresee the relevant Fund ( ‘RF’=>’ERDF’, ‘SF’=>’ESF+’, ‘CF’=>’CF’, ‘JTF’=’JT’) and it will not be updateable. When programme has been previously adopted by the Commission, then the system will foresee all the Funds ‘ERDF’, ‘CF’, ‘ESF+’ and ‘JTF’. This is to allow merging of Programmes covering different Funds. At least one Fund needs to be selected.

    When version > 1, Funds existing in the previous adopted major version cannot be unselected.

    When unselecting a Fund selected in the current major version, all Fund related information will be deleted. Refer to the Remark below for more information.

    (6) Select the Source language.

    (7) Enter any additional Comments.

    (8) Click on Save to save the information.


     

    Remark

    When unselecting a Fund selected in the current major version, all Fund related information will be deleted. An alert message to avoid accidental loss of information will inform the User at the moment of save. The following information referring to the Fund will be removed:

    • Specific Objectives relating to the Fund and not relating to any other Fund of the Programme (T1)

    • ESF+ Dedicated Priority Types relating to the Fund (T1)

    • Priorities with a Dedicated Priority Type related to the Fund

    • Fund/Category of Region combinations on the Priorities

    • Specific Objectives defined under the Priorities

    • Indicators (T2, T3)

    • Transfers between Funds (except for JTF) (T17A)

    • Transfers to JTF (T18A and T18C)

    • Transfers back (T20A)

    • Enabling conditions (T12)

    • When JTF, the link(s) to TJTP version(s) and the TJTP Toc Item


     

    Note

    Non-substantial transfer (art. 24(5)), Clerical or editorial corrections (art.24(6)), Approved by monitoring committee, MS amending decision number and MS amending decision entry into force date are only available when programme has been previously adopted by the Commission.

    Non-substantial transfer (art. 24(5)), MS amending decision number and MS amending decision entry into force date need to be filled in when the MS wants to create a version containing modifications which do not require a Commission Decision. This kind of version will automatically be set to Adopted by MS when sent to the Commission and when only non-decisional parts of the Programme have been modified, or when it is impossible to verify that only minor changes have been applied then after sending to the Commission, the Commission will be able to set the status to Adopted by MS. When MS amending decision number/MS amending decision entry into force date is not null then MS amending decision entry into force date/MS amending decision number should not be null and Non-substantial transfer should be true. Non-substantial transfer (art. 24(5)) and Clerical or editorial corrections (art.24(6)) are exclusive. If needed, under the non-substantial transfer also clerical corrections are allowed.

    Appendix 1

    A Summary


     

    Note

    The records are automatically foreseen by the system by crossing the Programme structure (Priority, Fund, Category of Region, Specific Objective) with the Operation Type detail (Operation Type, Specific Objective(s), Indicator) based on their common Specific Objective(s).

    Part A will automatically take information from part B and create the summary table broken down by Priority/Fund/Category of Region/Specific Objective/Operation Type and Indicator triggering reimbursement. Therefore, the number of lines in table A will depend on the particularity of the SCO scheme(s) included in Appendix 1. 

    There are four fields that need to be manually introduced in Part A i.e. “Estimated proportion of the total financial allocation within the priority to which the SCO will be applied”, “Code for the type of operation”, “Code for the indicator triggering reimbursement” and “SCO non applicable”


     

    1. Click on the Edit button to edit the information:


     


     

    The Edit details pop-up window appears:


     


     

    1. Enter the following:

    (1) Enter the percentage for Estimated proportion of the total financial allocation within the priority to which the SCO will be applied in% (estimate).

    The sum of the Estimated Proportion % per Priority must be lower than or equal to 100. This will be checked by a Validation rule (VAL.074). This field is mandatory. The information to be provided is at the level of each line of Part A. If there are several lines for the same SCO within a priority axis, then the sum of all these lines must be equal to the estimated proportion of the total financial allocation within the priority to which the SCO will be applied.

    (2) Enter the Code for the Type(s) of operation covered.

    The Operation Type Code list contains all Intervention Field codes (and their description) valid for the Specific Objective, Fund and selected in Table 4 for that Priority, Fund, Category of Region, Specific Objective. This field is mandatory.

    If an SCO scheme applies to all/a significant number of types of interventions in the programme, choose one type of intervention in Part A (if possible, the most relevant one for the SCO scheme) and indicate, in part B (under Description of operations), all the other types of interventions covered by the SCO scheme.

    (3) Enter the Code for the Indicator triggering reimbursement.

    The Indicator Code list contains all Common Indicator codes (and their description), Output and Result, already used in Tables 2 and 3, for the Priority, Fund, Category of Region, Specific Objective combination. 

    This field is mandatory when the SCO uses common indicators (to be selected from the drop-down list). The field should be left empty in case the SCO uses programme specific indicators. 

    This field is not mandatory for Material Deprivation (ESO4.13) which doesn’t have a Table 4.

    (4) Select the tick box to indicate whether the SCO is non applicable.

    It is possible that one Specific Objective covers multiple Priorities and/or Funds and/or Categories of region, but some of these Priorities and/or Fund and/or Categories of region are not concerned by a proposed SCO scheme in Appendix 1. However, Part A of Appendix 1 will create separate lines for each Priority/Fund/Category of region covered by the given Specific Objective (i.e. even for those which are not part of SCO scheme). In such case, tick the box in column SCO non applicable for those Priorities/Funds/Categories of region for which the SCO scheme does not apply. 

    When SCO is set to be non-applicable, the Estimated Proportion %, the Intervention Field Code and the Indicator Code are removed.

    Remark

    There is a single Part B for all SCOs schemes, types of operations and indicators included in the Appendix I. 

    The levels of the type of operations and the indicators can be repeated as many times as needed. 

    The Operation Type Short Title is needed to enable the User to link an Intervention Field Code to the Operation Type in Appendix 1 Part A. For each Operation Type created/deleted, an entry is created/deleted in the ToC. There should be at least 1 Operation Type and that one can never be deleted.

    Indicators


     

    Remark

    For each Indicator created/deleted, an entry is created/deleted in the ToC under its Operation Type. There should be at least 1 Indicator and that one can never be deleted.

    If an operation encompasses several SCOs for different categories of costs, different projects or successive phases of an operation, additional rows have to be added for each indicator triggering reimbursement (Indicator: 1, Indicator: 2 …) and filled in the relevant information under fields 3 to 11.

    Appendix 2

    A Summary


     

    Note

    For non-TA Programmes, the records are automatically foreseen by the system by crossing the Programme structure (Priority, Fund, Category of Region, Specific Objective) with the Operation Type detail (Operation Type, Specific Objective(s)) based on their common Specific Objective(s). For TA Programmes, the records are automatically foreseen by the system by crossing the Programme structure (Technical Assistance Article 37 Priorities, Fund, Category of Region) with the Operation Types.

    Appendix 2 is created on the basis of the specific objectives in the programme. However, in the case of a Technical Assistance priority in a non-TA programme, there are no specific objectives linked to it in the programme. Therefore, if Article 37 CPR is used under a TA priority in a non-TA programme, Appendix 2 cannot be filled in directly in SFC (as structured data). In this situation, the Member State is requested to fill in, in word format, Appendix 2 of Annex V to the programme template as provided in the CPR and send it to the Commission via SFC2021 under the General -> Documents section, using the document type ‘Other Member State document’. 

    Appendix 2 is created on a different basis for the TA programmes. Therefore, if Article 37 CPR is used under a TA programme which has no specific objectives itself, the Appendix 2 can be filled in in a structured format directly in SFC2021 (i.e. no need to upload a word version as ‘Other Member State document’).

    1. Enter the following:

    (1) Enter The amount covered by the financing not linked to costs.

    The Amount Covered is mandatory for applicable FNLC records only, the Intervention Field Code is mandatory except for Material Deprivation (ESO4.13) which doesn’t have a Table 4 and for non-applicable FNLC records.

    (2) Enter the Code for the Type(s) of operation covered.

    The Operation Type Code list contains all Intervention Field codes valid for the Specific Objective, Fund.

    For non-TA Programmes, the Operation Type Code list contains all Intervention Field codes (and their description) valid for the Specific Objective, Fund and selected in Table 4 for that Priority, Fund, Category of Region, Specific Objective. For TA Programmes, the Operation Type Code list contains all Technical Assistance Intervention Field codes (and their description) selected in Table 4 for that Technical Assistance Article 37 Priority.

    (3) Enter the Code for the Indicator triggering reimbursement.

    The Indicator Code list contains all Common Indicator codes, Output and Result, already used in Tables 2 and 3, for the Priority, Specific Objective combination.

    For non-TA Programmes, the Indicator Code list contains all Common Indicator codes (and their description), Output and Result, already used in Tables 2 and 3, for the Priority, Fund, Category of Region, Specific Objective combination. For TA Programmes, since there are no Indicator Tables for Technical Assistance Article 37, the Indicator Code list will be empty.

    (4) Select the tick box whether the FNLC is non applicable.

    When FNLC is set to be non-applicable, the Amount Covered, the Intervention Field Code and the Indicator Code are removed.

    Prepare Programme IJG for send to EC


     

    Remark

    The Prepare for Send can occur when a User on the highest MS Node wants to indicate that the Programme IJG version can be prepared for sending to the Commission, once the Validation Errors have been removed and the status is Validated.

    To prepare the send of the Programme, the User must have the role of Member State Managing Authority with Update or Send access (MSMAu or MSMAs) for the funds managed by the Programme.


     

    1. Click on the Prepare for send to EC button to prepare to send the Programme IJG to the Commission:


     


     

    The system will ask you to confirm the send action:


     


     

    1. Click on Confirm to confirm.


     

    The status of the Programme IJG is set to Preparing for send to EC.


     

    Remark

    When on the highest MS node, a ‘Snapshot’ document will be available in all official MS languages in the Documents section so that the sender can first verify what will be sent to the Commission.


     


     

    Send the Programme IJG


     

    Remark

    The Programme IJG can only be sent once the Validation Errors have been removed and the status is Ready To Send.

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

    To send the Programme IJG, the User must have the role of Member State Managing Authority with Send access (MSMAs) for all the concerned funds.

    The Sending of information by a Member State to the Commission should be electronically signed in accordance with Directive 1999/93/EC. Sending of the different objects is generating a snapshot document and after the sending an acknowledge document is generated by the European Commission.

When sent to the Commission and when it concerns a Minor modification, the status is set to Adopted by MS else the status is set to Sent. A Minor modification is a modification which does not modify data which is part of the Commission Decision and for which the Member State has indicated that it does not concern a Major Amendment.


     

    Remark

    The automatic transition to Adopted by MS will not be implemented unless the requirements for it are 100% clear.

    When on the highest MS node, a ‘Snapshot before send’ document will be available in all official MS languages so that the sender can first verify what will be sent to the Commission:

    • A version containing the untranslated content with the template in the Source language.

    • When the Source language is different from English, a version containing the untranslated content with the template in English.

    • When the Source language is different from English, a version containing a machine translation of the content in English with the template in English.

    When on the highest MS node and TJTP version(s) is/are selected which contain ‘TJTP Supplementary Information’ document(s), these documents are copied into this Programme version as integral ‘TJTP Supplementary Information’ document(s) and sent with this send action.
