However, in order to take into account the specific operating needs of joint undertakings established pursuant to Article 187 of the Treaty in the area of electronic components and systems, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty was delegated to the Commission for the duration of Horizon 2020 with a view to allowing funding bodies in that area to apply different reimbursement rates for the Union-provided funding in cases where one or more Member States co-fund a participant or an action.\n(3)\nThe ECSEL Joint Undertaking has been set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 561/2014 for a period up to 31 December 2024 in order to implement a Joint Technology Initiative in the field of Electronic Components and Systems.\n(4)\nSpecific operating needs have been identified as regards the co-funding by Member States and the applicability of national funding rules.\n(5)\nIn view of those operating needs, a derogation from the single reimbursement rates referred to in Article 28(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 in cases where one or more Member States co-fund a participant or an action is necessary in order to allow a reimbursement rate of Union funding by type of participant and type of action. The reimbursement rate should be dependent on the type of participant and the type of action in order to facilitate cross-border cooperation in particular with small and medium-sized enterprises and non-profit legal entities, whilst achieving the optimal level of leverage effect on private investment,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
