COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/1972
of 8 July 2015
supplementing Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council with specific provisions on the reporting of irregularities concerning the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2014 on the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (1), and in particular the fifth subparagraph of Article 30(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The purpose of this Regulation is to determine which irregularities Member States should report to the Commission. In order to allow the Commission to perform its tasks concerning the protection of the financial interests of the Union, in particular to allow the Commission to perform risk analysis, it should also be established which data are to be provided. |
(2) |
Financial interests of the Union should be protected in the same way irrespective of the fund used to deliver the objectives for which it was established. To that end Regulation (EU) No 223/2014, as well as Regulations (EU) No 1303/2013 (2), (EU) No 1306/2013 (3) and (EU) No 514/2014 (4) of the European Parliament and of the Council, empower the Commission to adopt rules on the reporting of irregularities. To ensure that identical rules apply in respect of all of the funds governed by those Regulations, it is necessary that this Regulation contains provisions identical to those in Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2015/1970 (5), (EU) 2015/1971 (6) and (EU) 2015/1973 (7). |
(3) |
To enable a coherent application of the reporting requirements across the Member States it is necessary to define the term ‘suspected fraud’, taking into account the definition of fraud contained in the Convention drawn up on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty on European Union, on the protection of the European Communities' financial interests (8), and the term ‘primary administrative or judicial finding’. |
(4) |
Regulations (EU) No 1303/2013 and (EU) No 223/2014 determine the reporting threshold below which irregularities do not need to be reported to the Commission and cases for which there is no need for reporting. In order to simplify and to align the provisions, and to strike a balance between the administrative burden on Member States and the common interest in the provision of accurate data for the purpose of analysis in the Union's fight against fraud, it is necessary to apply the same reporting threshold and the same derogations for the reporting of irregularities under Regulations (EU) No 1306/2013 and (EU) No 514/2014. |
(5) |
In order to ensure consistency of reporting it is necessary to establish criteria for determining when irregularities are to be initially reported and the data to be provided in such initial reports. |
(6) |
In order for the data provided to the Commission to be accurate, follow-up reporting is necessary. Member States should, therefore, provide the Commission with up-to-date information on any significant progress in the administrative and legal procedures or proceedings related to each initial report. |
(7) |
In light of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10) the Commission and the Member States should, in relation to the information provided pursuant to this Regulation, prevent any unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. In addition, this Regulation should specify the purposes for which the Commission and the Member States may process that... |
