Programme-specific indicators can be accepted if (1) no common indicators are available for the respective type of action, or (2) they are clearly different from the common indicators introduced at EU level.
In most cases yes. Programme specific indicators dealing with outputs and immediate results are to be collected on an ongoing basis and reported annually in the AIRs. However, it is also possible to establish programme-specific longer-term result indicators for which the data collection method and frequency of reporting will be determined on a case by case basis.
No. Programme-specific indicators cannot replace the common indicators; the reporting of all common indicators is a basic/fundamental reporting requirement for the 2014-2020 programming period. The objectives set out in the performance framework can be related both to the common and programme-specific indicators. This, however, does not rule out that some of these indicators have the value 0.
