Training on SCO-JAP 9-10/12 Second session "beginner level" (repetition of last October training session) Low level of registration: Problem of mailing? Problem of date? Not all stakeholders informed? Format not interesting? (need more advanced level, prefer seminars in MS …??) What should we do next?

EGESIF Guidance on SCOs Translation calendar: All COCOF languages delivered on 16/01 CS, ET, HR, MT and SK delivered on 30/01 Are there volunteers to provide support for the linguistic revision of the guidance?

Draft guidance on 14(1) ESF Only feedback received from 2 MS, what about the others? Please provide quickly your remarks (objective: ISC launched before Christmas)

Lessons learnt from already received applications for 14(1) ESF 4 applications received, 3 still ongoing Tool is not yet known by stakeholders despite high potential of application and simplification

Lessons learnt from already received applications for 14(1) ESF DON'T: Use something else than a fair, equitable and verifiable calculation method Forget to provide underlying justification for the figures used Be too "creative" when working with statistics Be vague

Lessons learnt from already received applications for 14(1) ESF AVOID: Sending your application only in your official language Designing a risky system Designing a system based on a formula and not a set value

Lessons learnt from already received applications for 14(1) ESF DO: Provide us with a translation in EN, even if "unofficial" Talk to us as soon as you start thinking about a 14(1) ESF application Use solid data source for your calculation

14(1) ESF assessment stages Preliminary assessment (internal) In-depth assessment (with external analysis of underlying data when there is no conflict of interest) Only when a proposal is deemed acceptable, the delegated act procedure can start

What's the point of 14(1) ESF? Approval from the Commission Possibility to benefit from SCOs even when not possible in the national legislation (SCO between COM and MA) Possibility to apply SCOs to publicly procured operations Audit scope even reduced compared to the "classical" SCOs

What are the different ways to use a standard scales of unit scale / lump sum approved by the delegated act? Expliquer que cela sera vu tout au long de la journée et qu'à la fin de la journée ils devraient en être convaincus. Faire un retour sur ce slide en fin de journée?

SSUC agreed in the framework of Option2: operation combining a SSUC or LS agreed in the framework of Article 14(1) ESF to other SCOs and real costs to define its eligible expenditure Methodology to cover the different types of costs of one operation : SSUC agreed in the framework of Article 14(1) ESF Real costs Article 67(1) (a) CPR Flat rate financing Article 68(1) (b) CPR Expenditure of one operation = Delegated act : Staff costs = EUR 10/hour Direct costs other than staff costs Indirect costs 15% x direct staff costs Commission  Managing authority EUR 10 x 120 hours = EUR 1.200 EUR 800 15% x EUR 1.200 = EUR 180  Beneficiary Expliquer que cela sera vu tout au long de la journée et qu'à la fin de la journée ils devraient en être convaincus.
