If some MS with several Paying Agencies want to submit a Declaration of Expenditure EAFRD inside which some Paying Agencies have nothing to declare/correct, then they have the choice between:
- not adding any XML files for these Paying Agencies. In this case, SFC2021 will not create a section for these Paying Agencies inside the Declaration and they will not have to sign for these Paying Agencies.
- adding one XML file for each of these Paying Agencies, containing one or several (one is enough but several can be added if needed) Budget code line(s) with amount/corrections declared=0 (only the Budget code and the Contribution rate should be filled). In this case, SFC2021 will create a section for each of these Paying Agencies, and each of them will have to provide a signature before submitting the Declaration to EC.
