Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/379

of 19 December 2018

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

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Social Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1081/2006f1, and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

With a view to simplifying the use of the European Social Fund ‘ESF’ and reducing the administrative burden for beneficiaries, it is appropriate to increase the scope of standard scales of unit costs and lump sums available for reimbursement to Member States. The standard scales of unit costs and lump sums for reimbursement to Member States should be established on the basis of data submitted by Member States or published by Eurostat and on the basis of methods commonly agreed, including the methods set out in Article 67(5) and Article 68b(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Councilf2.

(2)

Taking into account the significant disparities between Member States regarding the level of costs for a particular type of operation, the definition and amounts of standard scales of unit costs and lump sums may differ according to the type of operation and the Member State concerned in order to reflect their specificities.

(3)

Bulgaria has submitted methods for defining standard scales of unit costs for reimbursement of expenditure by the Commission.

(4)

France, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Romania, Cyprus and Croatia have submitted methods for either, amending existing standard scales of unit costs, or defining additional standard scales of unit costs for reimbursement by the Commission concerning types of operation not yet covered by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2195f3.

(5)

For the SSUCs relating to operations supporting education and applicable to all Member States except Denmark, amounts for Greece should be added and the conditions for reimbursement for vocational education and training should be clarified and reduced to reflect specific situations.

(6)

Taking into account the objective of expanding the possibilities for Member States to seek reimbursement from the Commission on the basis of standard scales of unit costs or lump sums, the Commission has defined unit costs and amounts for each Member State on the basis of data published by Eurostat and as reported by national Public Employment Services for operations in the area of trainnig.

(7)

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2195 should therefore be amended accordingly,

Adjustment of amounts

The amount of unit cost 1. is based partly on a standard scale of unit cost funded entirely by France. Out of the 6 400 EUR, 1 600 EUR correspond to the standard scale of unit cost set out by the “instruction ministérielle du 11 octobre 2013 relative à l'expérimentation Garantie Jeunes prise pour l'application du décret 2013-80 du 1er octobre 2013 ainsi que par l'instruction ministérielle du 20 mars 2014” to cover the costs borne by the Youth Public Employment Services “Missions Locales” to coach each NEET entering the “Garantie Jeunes”.

Unit cost 1. shall be updated by the Member State in line with adjustments under national rules to the standard scale of unit cost of 1 600 EUR mentioned in paragraph 1 above that covers the costs borne by the Youth Public Employment Services.

The amount of unit costs 2. and 3. are based on publicly procured prices for training hours in the respective fields and geographical areas. These amounts will be adjusted when the procurement process for the underlying training courses is repeated according to the following formula:

New price (excl. VAT) = Old price (excl. VAT) × (0,5 + 0,5 × Sr/So)

Sr is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1567446) of the last monthly publication at the date of the adjustement

So is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1567446) of the monthly publication at the date of submission of the tender for the first adjustment; then, for the following adjustements, it refers to the monthly publication of the anniversary date of the submission of the tender.’

    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.
