The Member State must request to withdraw the Programme by uploading a document called MS Request to withdraw programme version.
Withdrawals are subject to confirmation by the Commission. After the document is /sent it is up to the Commission User to perform the withdrawal action and stop the amendment procedure. On success, the Programme version status will be set to Withdrawn at the Request of the MS.
Note that:
A Withdrawal of the version eg 1.1 of a programme will only withdraw that working version and the Member State can create a new version based on the returned 1.0 or the withdrawn 1.1, but the new version will be a version 2.0:
When the status of the last version was ‘Withdrawn at the request of the MS’ and the user has chosen to create the new version based on the withdrawn version or on the last adopted version, then the version was incremented by one (ex. 1.0 à 2.0).
When the Member State creates a new version after withdrawal they can chose to create based on the information in the withdrawn version or on the information in the last adopted version.
