PRE-CONDITIONS:

The related Rural development programme (EAFRD) has been ADOPTED by the Commission before the end of the AIR implementation period (31/12/YYYY) and the AIR for this specific AIR implementation period (01/01/YYYY - 31/12/YYYY) doesn’t yet exist.

Workflow

This section shows the lifecycle to create and manage the Annual and Final Implementation Report for EAFRD. If the Commission rejects an AIR EAFRD, the programme is returned and a new version has to be created and go through the whole process. The Commission cannot change an AIR – only respond.

Create the Annual Implementation Report (EAFRD)

REMARK

To create the Annual Implementation Report EAFRD you must have MS Managing Authority with Update access.

At least one Rural development programme (EAFRD) must have been ADOPTED by the Commission before the end of the implementing period, in order for you to create the Annual Implementation Report EAFRD.

In tables with achievement year columns, only the years equal and before the Reporting Year will be shown.

For Table F1 and F2 in AIR2018, the milestone (column D) and Target 2023 (column E) are retrieved from the last adopted version of the RDP in force at the creation of the AIR first version.

1. To access into the ANNUAL IMPLEMENTATION REPORT EAFRD section, first click on the MONITORING link (1) in the menu and then on the Annual Implementation Report (EAFRD) link (2).

2. Click on the Create New EAFRD Annual Implementation Report link to create a new Annual Implementation Report (EAFRD).

9

You are redirected to the EAFRD Annual Implementation Report creation wizard:

3. Enter or Select the following information:

(1) Select a CCI.

10

The CCI list contains all the last adopted EAFRD Programmes versions with a Decision Date smaller or equal to the last day of the Implementing Year (31/12/YYYY). The list contains only versions managed at the User's Node for which the User is registered. The list returns the CCI and the Programme Title and the Programme version

(2) Select a Monitoring committee approval date.

When work version is 0 the Report approval date by the monitoring committee should not be empty.

(3) Enter a National reference.

(4) Click on the SAVE button to confirm the creation.

The status of the Annual Implementation Report is OPEN.

REMARK

The first version of each AIR can only be created during the 6 months following the Implementing Period. The Implementing Period is automatically set by the system based on the current date.

AIR version YYYY for which Implementing period = 01/01/YYYY to 31/12/YYYY, can only be created and submitted from 01/01/YYYY+1 to 30/09/YYYY+1 (= 30/06/YYYY+1 +3 Months flexibility)

The AIR is linked to the last adopted version of the RDP with a Decision Date smaller or equal to the last day of the Implementing Year (31/12/YYYY).

For Table F1 and F2 in AIR2018, the milestone (column D) and Target 2023 (column E) are retrieved from the last adopted version of the RDP in force at the creation of the AIR first version. The National Rural Network Programme is excluded of this rule.

Exceptions:

For AIR version 2015 (first AIR), the Implementing period = 01/01/2014 to 31/12/2015. The first version of this first AIR can only be created from 01/01/2016 to 30/09/2016 (= 30/06/2016 +3 Months flexibility)

For AIR version 2016, due to the technical implementation of the new sections (7. Evaluation question and 10. Reporting on FIs), the first version of the AIR2016 can only be created from 02/05/2017. The validation and submission of this first version will be activated from the 01/06/2017.

A footnote is displayed (not for the National Rural Network Programme):

If AIR2018: "Data and content of Tables F of the Annual Implementation Report on the achievement of milestones is linked with the last Rural Development Programme adopted by the Commission. In case of imminent adoption of an on-going Rural Development Programme amendment with modification of milestones, it is recommended to wait until Rural Development Programme amendments are adopted before creating the Annual Implementation Report.

11

Relevant data and content of the others sections of the Annual Implementation Report is linked to the last Rural Development Programme adopted before the end of the implementing period"

Table B: Realised output indicators by measure and focus area

Table B1: Realised outputs (AIR) – CUMULATIVE

REMARK

The system must display all the rows (Measure/ Sub measure/ Indicator/ Dimensions/ Priority /FA) as defined in the Reference Data for Table B1, filtered out by the linked programme strategy.

In order to improve performance and experience, the system displays one separate table for each relevant measure

Whether additional focus areas have been programmed in the linked programme strategy for a given measure, the system displays also the appropriate extra rows for this combination [additional focus areas/measure] as defined in Reference Data for Table B1.

By default the table is sorted alphabetically by 1: measure; 2:sub-measure; 3: Indicator; 4: Dim1; 5: Dim2; 6: Dim3; 7: priority; 8: FA. Nevertheless, it is also possible to sort alphabetically (ascending and descending) the table by one (and only one) of these 4 columns. In order to get back the default order, just reload the screen.

For a specific measure, if one of the Dimension columns is totally empty, then this column will not be displayed by the system.

NOTE The quick guide displays below one measure example: M01 - Knowledge transfer and information actions (art 14). You must fill in the tables of each measure of the list that is shown in your AIR. They were filtered out by the linked programme strategy.

REMARK

Only applicable in AIR2018 (submission in 2019) – Performance review:

2 additional columns are displayed

A': "Total public expenditure paid in 2019 and related to 2018 operations"

B' "Adjustments top up paid in 2019 and related to 2018 operations"

The percentage (2 decimals precision) 'Calculated achievement rate' (column C) is automatically calculated by the system. For AIR2018 the only Formula used is: Column C = ((Column A – column B) + (Column A' – column B')) / column E

The values for column D and E are retrieved from the last adopted programme in force at the creation of the first version of the AIR2018 (and not the last adopted programme in force the last day of Implementation period). These values for column D and E are the same for all working versions of the same AIR2018 (not impacted by values from a newer RDP that could have been adopted in the meantime)

Column E is used for the calculation of column C

For the Annual Implementation Report 2018, the values for column D and E are retrieved from the last adopted programme in force at the creation of the first version of the Annual Implementation Report.

REMARK

Applicable in AIR2019 (submission in 2020) and onwards – Post Performance review:

'Realised performance Framework indicators' values (column A) and 'Adjustments Top ups' (column B) values consists in values filled by the Member State

The percentage (2 decimals precision) 'Calculated achievement rate' (column C) is automatically calculated by the system. Formula used is: Column C = (Column A – column B) / column E

The values of column D ' Target 2023 ' are retrieved from the last adopted programme in force at the creation of the first version of the AIRYYYY (and not the last adopted programme in force the last day of Implementation period). The values for E are the same for all working versions of the same current AIRYYY (not impacted by values from a newer RDP that could have been adopted in the meantime)

Column E is used for the calculation of column C
