MSA

PA - Roles Required - What roles do I need to create and send the Partnership Agreement?

The creation of a new version of the Partnership Agreement requires a user with Member State Authority (MSA) update access on the top Member State Level Node for the Funds that can be covered by the PA (= ERDF, CF, ESF+, JTF, EMFAF) and that are applicable for that MS. ERDF, ESF+ and JTF are always applicable. CF and EMFAF are not applicable for certain MS.

PA - Timeframe for Observations - What is the timeline for the Submission and Approval of the Partnership Agreement?

A Partnership Agreement (PA) submitted through SFC2014 will be considered as the official PA of the Member State.

Each Member State shall submit its PA to the Commission by 22 April 2014 (Article 14(4)). That means that the last day for submission is 21 April 2014.

After the submission, Commission has 3 months to provide observations (Article 16(1)), and 4 months to adopt a decision approving the PA (Article 16(2)).
