Articles 65, 66 and 67 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 concerning, respectively, the authorising officer, his or her powers and duties, and those of Heads of Union Delegations, shall apply.

The annual activity report referred to in Article 66(9) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 shall include, as an annex, tables showing by allocation, country, territory, region or sub-region, the total commitments, assigned funds and payments effected during the financial year and aggregate totals since the opening of the respective EDF.

Where the responsible authorising officer of the Commission becomes aware of problems in carrying out procedures relating to the management of EDF resources, he or she shall, in conjunction with the appointed national, regional, intra-ACP, or territorial authorising officer, make all contacts necessary to remedy the situation and take any steps that are necessary. In case the national, regional, intra-ACP, or territorial authorising officer does not or is unable to perform the duties incumbent on him or her under the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement or the Overseas Association Decision, the responsible authorising officer of the Commission may temporarily take the former's place and act in the name and on behalf of the former; in that case, the Commission may receive financial compensation for the additional administrative workload incurred from the resources allocated to the ACP State or OCTs in question.
