KEY POINTS
Regulation (EU) No 1011/2014 sets out:
Electronic data exchange systems* between beneficiaries and managing managing authorities, certifying authorities, audit authorities and intermediate bodies (e-Cohesion) must allow administrative checking of each application for reimbursement by beneficiaries.

Regulation (EU) No 184/2014
In accordance with Article 74(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, all official exchanges of information between EU countries and the Commission must be carried out using an electronic data exchange system. Regulation (EU) No 184/2014 establishes the terms and conditions for that electronic data exchange system (SFC2014).
SFC2014 will be accessible to EU countries and the Commission either directly through an interactive user interface (a web application) or through a technical interface using pre-defined protocols (web services) that allows for automatic synchronisation and transmission of data between EU countries’ information systems and SFC2014. The regulation also sets out the operational and data security requirements when using SFC2014.
The Regulation also sets out the nomenclature for categories of intervention referred to in Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 in an Annex, as well as the other codes to be attributed to the operations.
