annexed to this Regulation.

The performance of the Fund will be monitored through the performance framework provided in the Performance Regulation proposed alongside the present regulation, including through the common list of intervention fields and output and result indicators.

An implementation report will be published by the Commission no later than four years after the start of the programme’s implementation, in order to assess the progress made towards the achievement of their objectives. A retrospective evaluation will be carried out by the Commission at the latest three years after the end of the programming period of the programme with a view to assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and Union added value of the programme.

2.2.Management and control system(s) 

2.2.1.Justification of the budget implementation method(s), the funding implementation mechanisms, the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed

The management, control and audit of the Fund will be governed by specific rules to ensure transparency, accountability and the proper use of EU funding, in line with applicable law and the principle of sound financial management.

The Regulation includes, in particular, strong safeguards to ensure the robustness and quality of national control systems and allow effective and timely action in case of deficiency.

Key requirements of the management and control systems of the Member States, including on the prevention, detection and correction of cases of fraud, corruption and conflicts of interests as well as on compliance with applicable law, including public procurement and State aid rules, will be clearly defined ex ante and will have to be met throughout implementation. Before approving each Plan, the Commission will assess whether Member States have adequate arrangements in place to comply with these requirements and ensure the protection of the Union’s financial interests. These requirements should enable a maximum use of existing structures already in place for the management of EU funds, with possible adaptations of their procedures to ensure adequate assurance. In case of serious deficiency, Member States will have to take corrective action before payments can be undertaken.

The level and intensity of controls is tailored to the objective-based delivery model of the Fund and is based on clear sequencing and division of duties between the Commission and Member States.

In line with the single audit principle, Commission audits under shared management will first and foremost consist of systems audits to avoid duplications of controls and audits and reduce the administrative burden, thereby addressing demands for simplification and predictability. The audit authority should carry out audits and ensure that the audit opinion provided to the Commission is reliable. That audit opinion should provide assurance to the Commission that the Member State’s management and control systems function properly and that the assertions made in the management declaration submitted by the coordinating body are correct.  

The Commission will however retain the possibility to conduct more targeted checks, for instance in case of a specific risk or suspicion of fraud, corruption or conflicts of interest or a serious breach by the Member State of its obligations, and act in a timely and proportionate manner if deficiencies have not been properly addressed by Member States.

2.2.2.Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them

The risks mainly relate to irregularities or serious non-compliance of the Member States with its obligations under the present regulation, notably as regards the protection of the Union’s financial interests and compliance with the rule of law and Charter horizontal conditions.

To safeguard the Union’s financial interests, the proposed regulation establishes proportionate measures at the level of Member States and the Commission, in line with their respective responsibilities.

Member States are required to maintain robust management, control and audit systems to ensure compliance with all key requirements throughout implementation and to provide, each year, an assurance package to report on the sound and regular use of funds.

The Commission will conduct regular audits on the work performed by national authorities to assess the robustness and reliability of national procedures and will issue, whenever relevant, recommendations with a clear implementation timeline to remedy deficiencies. There will be a possibility to block payments at any time during implementation and in line with the principle of proportionality, taking into account the nature, duration, gravity and scope of the identified deficiency. 

2.2.3.Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio between the control costs and the value of the related funds managed), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at t & at closure) 


The assessment by the Commission of the level of risk at payment and at closure will be based on a set of criteria, e.g. the risk profile of the milestones and targets, the information included in the annual assurance package submitted by the Member States, notably the summary of audits carried out by national authorities, the results of Commission’s own audits, as well as findings from the IAS and ECA’s audits. Given the novelty of the approach, the levels of low risk expenditure to be considered as an equivalent to the materiality threshold will be established once the implementation has started.

In order to ensure that controls remain cost-effective, the Commission aims to strike the right balance between effectiveness, efficiency and economy. The concrete application of the single audit principle should be applied for the Fund with a view to reducing the administrative burden and costs on recipients of Union funding as well as to avoid duplication of audits and management verifications of the same measures.

2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities 

The Regulation contains the necessary provisions to ensure that the implementation of the Fund complies with the protection of the financial interests of the Union.

The financial interests of the Union are to be protected through proportionate measures, including measures relating to the prevention, detection, correction and investigation of fraud, corruption and conflicts of interests, and, where appropriate, the imposition of administrative penalties. In particular, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) has the power to carry out administrative investigations, including on-the-spot checks and inspections, with a view to establishing whether there has been fraud, corruption or any other illegal activity affecting the financial interests of the Union. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) is competent to investigate and prosecute fraud and other criminal offenses affecting the financial interests of the Union. Any person or entity receiving Union funds is to fully cooperate in the protection of the Union’s financial interests, to grant the necessary rights and access to the Commission, OLAF, the EPPO and the Court of Auditors (ECA) and to ensure that any third parties involved in the implementation of Union funds grant equivalent rights. Member States should swiftly report to the Commission irregularities detected, including fraud, and any follow-up action they have taken with regard to such irregularities and with regard to any OLAF investigations. The competent authorities of the Member States participating in the enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the EPPO pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 should also report to the EPPO without undue delay any criminal conduct in respect of which it could exercise its competence, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1939.

The appropriations required for human resources and other expenditure of an administrative nature will be met by appropriations from the services that are already assigned to management of the action and/or have been redeployed within those services, together, if necessary, with any additional allocation which may be granted to the services in charge of the management of the Fund under the annual allocation procedure and in the light of budgetary constraints.
