THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, and in particular Article 74(4) thereof,

Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on specific provisions for the support from the European Regional Development Fund to the European territorial cooperation goal, and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The provisions in this Regulation are closely linked, since they all deal with aspects required for the preparation of operational programmes under the Investment for growth and jobs goal and under the European territorial cooperation goal. To ensure coherence between those provisions, which should enter into force at the same time, and to facilitate a comprehensive view and compact access to them by all Union residents, it is desirable to include provisions on categories of intervention for the European territorial cooperation goal into this implementing act as the procedure with regard to the consultation of the Coordination Committee for the European Structural and Investment Funds established by Article 150(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 is the same as for the other provisions covered by this implementing act, whereas categories of intervention for the Investment for growth and jobs goal are subject to a different procedure.

(2) Pursuant to Article 74(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 all official exchanges of information between the Member State and the Commission shall be carried out using an electronic data exchange system. It is therefore necessary to establish the terms and conditions with which that electronic data exchange system should comply.

(3) The modalities of exchange of information between the Member State and the Commission should be considered distinct from those established for the exchanges of information between beneficiaries and relevant authorities pursuant to Article 122(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 and which are subject to a different implementing act. In order to guarantee enhanced quality of information on the implementation of operational programmes, improved usefulness of the system and simplification, it is necessary to specify basic requirements for the form and scope of the information to be exchanged.

(4) It is necessary to specify principles, as well as applicable rules for operation of the system with regard to the identification of the party responsible for uploading the documents and making any updates thereto.

(5) In order to guarantee the reduction of the administrative burden for the Member States and the Commission while ensuring the efficient and effective electronic exchange of information, it is necessary to establish technical characteristics for the system.

(6) Member States and the Commission should also have a possibility to encode and transfer data in two different ways to be specified. It is also necessary to provide for rules in the event of force majeure hindering the use of the electronic data exchange system, to ensure that both Member States and the Commission can continue to exchange information by alternative means.

(7) Member States and the Commission should ensure that transfer of data through the electronic data exchange system is performed in a secured manner allowing for availability, integrity, authenticity, confidentiality and non-repudiation of information. Therefore rules on security should be set out.

(8) This Regulation should respect the fundamental rights and observe the principles recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and notably the right to protection of personal data. This Regulation should therefore be applied in accordance with these rights and principles. Concerning personal data processed by Member States, Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council applies. Concerning the processing of personal data by the Union institutions and bodies and the free movement of such data, Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council applies.

(9) Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, it is necessary to specify common categories of intervention for programmes under the European territorial cooperation goal to enable Member States to submit to the Commission consistent information on the programmed use of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as well as information on the cumulative allocation and expenditure of the ERDF by category and the number of operations throughout the application period of a programme. This is to enable the Commission to inform the other Union institutions and citizens of the Union in an appropriate manner about the use of the ERDF.

(10) In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 150(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, as the Coordination Committee for the European Structural and Investment Funds established by Article 150(1) of that Regulation delivered an opinion,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

CHAPTER I Provisions implementing Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 with regard to the ESI Funds

ELECTRONIC DATA EXCHANGE SYSTEM (Empowerment under Article 74(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013)

Article 1 Establishment of electronic data exchange system

The Commission shall establish an electronic data exchange system for all official exchanges of information between the Member State and the Commission.

Article 2 Content of electronic data exchange system

The electronic data exchange system (hereinafter referred to as SFC2014) shall contain at least information specified in the models, formats and templates established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the future Union legal act establishing the conditions for the financial support for maritime and fisheries policy for the programming period 2014-2020 (the EMFF Regulation).

2. The information provided in the electronic forms embedded in SFC2014 (hereinafter referred to as structured data) may not be replaced by non-structured data, including the use of hyperlinks or other types of non-structured data such as attachment of documents or images. Where a Member State transmits the same information in the form of structured data and non-structured data, the structured data shall be used in case of inconsistencies.

Article 3 Operation of SFC2014

1. The Commission, the authorities designated by the Member State pursuant to Article 59(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Article 123 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 and Article 65(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 as well as the bodies to which tasks of those authorities have been delegated shall enter into SFC2014 the information for the transmission of which they are responsible and any updates thereto.

2. Any transmission of information to the Commission shall be verified and submitted by a person other than the person who entered the data for that transmission. This separation of tasks shall be supported by SFC2014 or by Member State’s management and control information systems connected automatically with SFC2014.

3. Member States shall appoint, at national or regional level or at both national and regional levels, a person or persons responsible for managing access rights to SFC2014 who shall fulfil the following tasks:

(a) identifying users requesting access, making sure those users are employed by the organisation;

(b) informing users about their obligations to preserve the security of the system;

(c) verifying the entitlement of users to the required privilege level in relation to their tasks and their hierarchical position;

(d) requesting the termination of access rights when those access rights are no longer needed or justified;

(e) promptly reporting suspicious events that may bring prejudice to the security of the system;

(f) ensuring the continued accuracy of user identification data by reporting any changes;

(g) taking the necessary data protection and commercial confidentiality precautions in accordance with Union and national rules;

(h) informing the Commission of any changes affecting the capacity of the Member State authorities or users of SFC2014 to carry out the responsibilities referred to in paragraph 1 or their personal capacity to carry out responsibilities referred to in points (a)-(g).

4. Exchanges of data and transactions shall bear a compulsory electronic signature within the meaning of Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. The Member States and the Commission shall recognise the legal effectiveness and admissibility of the electronic signature used in SFC2014 as evidence in legal proceedings. Information processed through SFC2014 shall respect the protection of privacy and personal data for individuals and commercial confidentiality for legal entities in accordance with Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directive 2009/136/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directive 1995/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001.

Article 4 Characteristics of SFC2014

In order to ensure the efficient and effective electronic exchange of information, SFC2014 shall have the following characteristics:

(a) interactive forms or forms pre-filled by the system on the basis of the data already recorded in the system previously;

(b) automatic calculations, where they reduce the encoding effort of users;

(c) automatic embedded controls to verify internal consistency of transmitted data and consistency of this data with applicable rules;

(d) system generated alerts warning SFC2014 users that certain actions can or cannot be performed;

(e) online status tracking of the treatment of information entered into the system;

(f) availability of historical data in respect of all information entered for an operational programme.

Article 5 Transmission of data through SFC2014

1. SFC2014 shall be accessible to the Member States and the Commission either directly through an interactive user-interface (i.e. a web-application) or via a technical interface using pre-defined protocols (i.e. web-services) that allows for automatic synchronisation and transmission of data between Member States information systems and SFC2014.

2. The date of electronic transmission of the information by the Member State to the Commission and vice versa shall be considered to be the date of submission of the document concerned.

3. In the event of force majeure, a malfunctioning of SFC2014 or a lack of a connection with SFC2014 exceeding one working day in the last week before a regulatory deadline for the submission of information or in the period from 23 to 31 December, or five working days at other times, the information exchange between the Member State and the Commission may take place in paper form using the models, formats and templates referred to in Article 2(1) of this Regulation. When the electronic exchange system ceases to malfunction, the connection with that system is re-established or the cause of force majeure ceases, the party concerned shall enter without delay the information already sent in paper form also into SFC2014.

4. In cases referred to in paragraph 3 the date stamped by the post shall be considered to be the date of submission of the document concerned.

Article 6 Security of data transmitted through SFC2014

1. The Commission shall establish an information technology security policy (hereinafter referred to as SFC IT security policy) for SFC2014 applicable to personnel using SFC2014 in accordance with relevant Union rules, in particular Commission Decision C(2006) 3602 and its implementing rules.
