COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 846/2009

of 1 September 2009

amending Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 setting out rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Regional Development Fund

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 (1), and in particular the third paragraph of Article 44, and Article 59(6), Article 66(3), Article 69(1), Article 70(3), Article 72(2), Article 74(2) and Article 76(4) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 on the European Regional Development Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1783/1999 (2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7(2) and the second paragraph of Article 13 thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

The experience acquired since the start of the 2007-2013 programming period has shown the necessity to simplify and clarify certain provisions concerning the implementation of the Structural Funds and Cohesion Fund interventions.

 

(2)

In the light of recent amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 and Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006 concerning certain provisions of the financial management of operational programmes and the eligibility of energy efficiency and renewable energy investments in housing, respectively, it is necessary to align certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 (3) with those Regulations.

 

(3)

Several inconsistencies have been identified in the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006 during its application. For reasons of legal certainty, it is appropriate to eliminate those inconsistencies.

 

(4)

Since some information and publicity requirements were difficult to apply to certain types of operations in practice and thus represented a disproportionate administrative burden to the beneficiaries, it is appropriate to provide for more flexibility. For reasons of legal certainty, more flexible requirements should also apply to operations and activities that have already been selected for co-financing from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1828/2006.

 

(5)

It is necessary to clarify that in the case of the European Territorial Co-operation Objective, certain responsibilities of the managing authority related to the regularity of operations and expenditure in relation to national and Community rules also apply to controllers designated in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006.

 

(6)

It is necessary to clarify that the annual control report and opinion as well as the closure declaration and final control report have to cover the whole of the programme and all programme expenditure eligible for a contribution from the European Regional Development Fund in the European territorial co-operation objective.

 

(7)

In the light of the experience gained by the Commission and by the Member States with regard to the application of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1681/94 of 11 July 1994 concerning irregularities and the recovery of sums wrongly paid in connection with the financing of the structural policies and the organisation of an information system in this field (4), the procedures for reporting on follow-up to irregularities should be simplified. Furthermore, in...
