‘(1)
The Commission services provided guidance to Member States to facilitate the assessment when infrastructure investments involve State aid. In particular, the Commission services have prepared analytical grids.

‘Flat rate method or decreased co-financing rate method (Article 61(3)(a), Article 61(3)(aa) and Article 61(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013)’;
- (3)
in point C.3, the last table is replaced by the following:
In case of decreased co-financing rate method, this formula is not applicable (flat rate is reflected in the co-financing rate of the priority axis, resulting in lower ERDF/CF financing) and the total eligible cost is equal to the amount mentioned in point 1.’
