The budget item to be used for FY2023 and FY2024 for the declaration of negative amounts only relating to exceptional adjustment aid as per R.2022/467 is:

620000000000001 Exceptional adjustment aid – only negative amounts – R.1308/2013, Art.219(1); R.2022/467

There are no data requirements defined for budget sub-item 620000000000001 in the X-table guidelines for FY2023 and FY2024.

Amounts can only be declared via T104 and must also be included in the annual accounts.

However, please note that the Commission could request detailed records for this budget sub-item in the context of a relevant audit enquiry if necessary. 

P.S. MS should consult the latest revision of the budget nomenclature for each FY on the existing 62 “negative amounts only” sub-item for previous exceptional aid to be used for the declaration of negative amounts relating to specific exceptional aid. 

All Users who have the role MSPA (Paying Agency) or MSCB (Coordinating Body) on a Node (top or lower Node) where the Declaration EAFRD was created can download XML files for expenditure and sign for any paying agency. In fact, in terms of security, SFC2021 only recognizes that Users have the MSPA or MSCB role for a given Node, but it does not know that such a User actually serves a paying agency or not. Moreover, for reasons of flexibility/ease (as some MS do not have a Coordinating Body), there is no real distinction between the MSPA and MSCB roles, both can create, upload files, sign and send the Declaration EAFRD to the Commission. It is up to the Member State to ensure that the right people upload and sign for the right paying agencies, and also to ensure that the right person sends the Declaration to the Commission.
