Documents - How can I validate the signature in the Acknowledgement documents?
The acknowledgement of receipt is signed with an electronic certificate guaranteeing the date and time of the signature as well as the integrity of this document. The certificate used to sign this document is held by the European Commission and can be verified by the corresponding public key.
The first step to validate the signature is to install the certificate in Acrobat.
(This step is only necessary once per machine)
General - The Object is 'Returned', so why is the 'Current Node' displayed as 'European Commission'?
When an object is returned by the Commission in SFC2014 it will display as 'Current node' -> 'European Commission'. This is because the version that has been returned is no longer editable by the Member state and they must create a new version of the object in order to edit the information.
General - Why does SFC2014 ask me to electronically sign when I send an object?
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.
IR - Table 5 - Performance Framework - As the AIR 2016 is submitted in 2017, shouldn't the Table 5 'Information on the milestones and targets defined in the performance framework' be available?
In 2016 Table 5 was not editable because it was required for 2017.
The reports to be submitted in 2017 and 2019 have a deadline of 30th June.
The following new elements will be added to the Implementation Report in March 2017:
Macro regional strategies structured elements
Additional columns 13 and 14 in Table 6
