# Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2170 of 27 September 2019 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2195 on supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Social Fund, regarding the definition of standard scales of unit costs and lump sums for reimbursement of expenditure by the Commission to Member States, Annex VIII

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

‘ANNEX XIV
Conditions for reimbursement of expenditure on the basis of standard scales of unit costs to all Member States specified.
1.
Definition of standard scales of unit costs
These unit costs cannot be used for types of operations for which other simplified cost options are established in another annex to this Delegated Regulation
Other potential eligible costs of this type of operation, such as allowances, transport, accommodation or other type of support provided to students participating in these types of operations, are not covered by the unit cost.
Verified attendance means that proof of the attendance of the student in the formal education or training course is to be verified by national authorities on two or three occasions during the per academic year, in accordance with each Member State’s normal practices and procedures for verifying attendance in formal education or training.
International Standard Classification of Education: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/International_Standard_Classification_of_Education_(ISCED)
The table in point 3.1 sets out rates for all Member States with the exception of Denmark for which data is not currently available. For courses lasting at least one full academic year, these amounts can be reimbursed to the Member State on the following basis: 50 % for the first proof of attendance during the academic year (normally at the beginning of the academic year, in accordance with national rules and practices), 30 % for the second proof of attendance and 20 % for the third and final proof of attendance. For those Member States whose national systems provide for this information to be collected only twice per year, or for courses lasting less than one full academic year, it will be 50 % for the first proof of attendance and 50 % for the second and final proof of attendance.
The training courses can be primarily either institutional or workplace-based, but must be delivered at least partly in an institutional setting.
A training course will be considered as ‘successfully completed’ when there is a document demonstrating completion in accordance with national rules or practices. For example, this could be a certificate issued by the training provider or an equivalent document which is acceptable under national rules or practices.
The condition of successfully completing a training course shall not be regarded as being met where a participant successfully only completes some of the modules within a training course.
Employment-related counselling services can be provided in a one-on-one situation or as part of a group. They include all services and activities undertaken by the PES, together with services provided by other public agencies or any other bodies contracted under public finance, which facilitate the integration of unemployed and other jobseekers in the labour market or which assist employers in recruiting and selecting staff.
As demonstrated by a verifiable time management system.

In case the course lasts less than one academic year, the amount shall be established on the basis of a pro rata reflecting the duration of the course.
For vocational and educational training (upper secondary level and non-tertiary post-secondary level), in case of courses with a reduced share of time spent in a formal education institute as compared to the courses reported for data collection during the reference year, the amount shall be proportionally reduced reflecting the time spent in the education institute.

The method used to calculate these amounts requires that where these amounts are claimed for a type of operation under an Operational Programme, the same amount is claimed for all similar types of operations under the same Operational Programme.
