Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/697 of 14 February 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

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 1081/2006(1), 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 Council(2).

  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. Czechia, France, Croatia, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have submitted methods for 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) 2015/2195(3).

  4. Malta has submitted a method for defining lump sums.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

2. 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.

The amounts of the unit costs 4 and 5 may be adjusted based on the Reunion inflation rate (INSEE index) – reference year 2017.
