ANNEX II

Technical specifications for the transfer of computer files concerning the EAGF and the EAFRD expenditure

INTRODUCTION

These technical specifications apply in respect of the financial year 2016, which commenced on 16 October 2015.

1. Transfer Medium

The coordinating body of the Member State must transfer the computer files and the relating documentation to the Commission through STATEL/eDAMIS. The Commission shall only support one installation of STATEL/eDAMIS per Member State. The latest eDAMIS client and more information on the use of STATEL/eDAMIS shall be downloaded from the CIRCABC web-site of the agricultural funds.

2. Computer file structure

2.1.

The Member State must create a computer record for each individual component of the EAGF/EAFRD payments and receipts. These components are the individual items of which the payment (receipt) to (from) the beneficiary consists.

2.2.

The records must have a flat file structure. If fields have more than one value, separate records containing all data fields are required. Ensure that no double counting occurs. (1)

2.3.

All information for the same category of payments or receipts must be contained in the same computer file. Separate files relating to the same payments (e.g. for traders or inspections, or for basic and measure data) are not allowed.

2.4.

The computer files must have the following characteristics:

The first record in the file (header row) contains the file description. The field names comprise an ‘F’ followed by the field number used in Annex I (the ‘X-table’). Only field names existing in that Annex are allowed.

The following records in the file are data (data rows), in the order indicated by the first record describing the file structure.

The fields are separated by a semicolon (‘;’). The header row and data rows shall all contain the same number of semicolons. In the data rows, empty fields appear as a double semicolon (‘;;’) within the record, or as a single semicolon (‘;’) at the end of the record.

Records vary in length. Each record ends with a code ‘CR LF’ or ‘Carriage Return — Line Feed’ (in hexadecimal: ‘0D 0A’). The header row never ends on a ‘;’. Data rows only end on a ‘;’ if the last field is empty.

The file is in ASCII coding according to the following table. Other codes (such as EBCDIC, TAR, ZIP, etc.) are not accepted:

code	Member State
ISO 8859-1	BE, DK, DE, ES, FR, IE, IT, LU, NL, AT, PT, FI, SE and GB
ISO 8859-2	CZ, HR, HU, PL, RO, SI and SK
ISO 8859-3	MT
ISO 8859-5	BG
ISO 8859-7	GR and CY
ISO 8859-13	EE, LV and LT

Numeric fields:

Decimal separator:‘.’

The symbol (‘+’ or ‘-’) appears on the far left, followed immediately by the figures. For positive numbers, the ‘+’ sign is optional.

Fixed number of decimals (the details are set out in Annex III).

No spaces between digits. No spaces or other signs between thousands.

Date field: ‘YYYYMMDD’ (year in four digits, month in two digits, day in two digits).

Budget code (field F109) required format without spaces: ‘999999999999999’ (where ‘9’ stands for any figure between 0 and 9).

Quotation marks ( ‘’) are not allowed at the beginning or at the end of the records. The semicolon field separator ‘;’ must not be used in data in text format.

All fields: no spaces at the beginning or end of a field.

Files satisfying these rules shall follow the following structure (example for financial year 2014):

F100;F101;F106;F107;F108;F109

BE01;154678;+152.50;EUR;20150715;050201011000016

BE01;024578;-1000.00;EUR;20150905;050208031502013

BE01;154985;9999.20;EUR;20150101;050205011100012

BE01;100078;+152.75;EUR;20150331;050208110000009

BE01;215452;+0.50;EUR;20150615;050201011000016 (Please note +0.50 and not +.50)

etc.

(other data rows with the fields in the same order).

2.5.

Data files with the characteristics as described under point 2.4 shall be sent with consignment type ‘X-TABLE-DATA’ (see ‘eDAMIS client’).

2.6.

The computer program for checking the format of computer files before sending them to the Commission (‘WinCheckCsv’) is included in the data transfer program (‘eDAMIS client’). The paying agencies are invited to download the check program from CIRCABC separately for offline validation purposes.

3. Annual declaration

3.1.

The coordinating body of the Member State must send either one annual declaration file for all paying agencies or separate annual declaration files for each paying agency. An annual declaration file shall contain the total amounts by paying agency together with the budget and currency codes, for both the EAGF and the EAFRD measures (Article 29(b) and (c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014).

3.2.

The files shall have the characteristics as described under point 2.4. Each line shall contain the following fields (in this order):

(a) F100: paying agency code

(b) F109: budget code

(d) F107: currency code

3.3.

Files satisfying the rules shall follow the following structure (example for financial year 2014):

F100;F109;F106;F107

BE01;050201021014001;218483644.90;EUR

BE01;050203003010001;29721588.82;EUR

BE01;050203003011001;26099931.75;EUR

BE01;050204013100157;20778423.44;EUR

BE01;050204013100160;16403776.45;EUR

BE01;050207011403031;8123456.45;EUR

etc. (2)

3.4.

Annual declaration files shall be sent through STATEL/eDAMIS with consignment type ‘ANNUAL-DECLARATION’.

4. Explanation of Differences

4.1.

In the case of differences between the annual declaration and monthly or quarterly declaration or X-table data the coordinating body of the Member State shall send either one ‘difference-explanation’ file for all paying agencies or separate ‘difference-explanation’ files for each paying agency. Such file(s) shall explain, through standard codes, the difference by budget code between the annual declaration and monthly declarations (T104); the difference by budget code and/or focus area between annual declaration and quarterly declarations (SFC2014 — EAFRD programming period 2014-2020) or between annual declaration and the sum of the records (Σ F106) of the X-table data.

4.2.

The files shall have the characteristics as described under point 2.4. Each line shall contain the following fields and in following order):

(a) F100: paying agency code

(b) F109: budget code

(d) F106: amount of the explained difference in euros

4.3

The explanation-reconciliation code must be expressed by a code corresponding to the underneath list. For EAGF related differences an explanation code can only be provided once per budget code (F109). For EAFRD related differences, this single declaration should be read in light of the full explanation code including the 2 additional digits for the focus area (as defined hereafter).

For EAFRD related differences the explanation code (as described in underneath list — codes B01 to B99) shall be extended with 2 additional digits comprising the respective Union priority and focus area as described in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) (e.g: 4c for differences relating to the focus area ‘preventing soil erosion and improving soil management’) (4). For focus areas not explicitly described in Article 5 of that Regulation; the 2 additional digits to use shall be ‘yy’. Differences of expenditure not related to focus areas shall be identified by adding ‘zz’.

5.1.

In case where codes are used for fields, for which Annex III does not enforce standard codes, the coordinating body of the Member State must transfer a code list for each paying agency through STATEL/eDAMIS in order to explain all those used codes.

5.2.

This code list can have the look and feel of an ordinary letter. The identity of the paying agency and the name or administrative unit of the addressee shall be clearly marked.

5.3.

The eDAMIS client includes a specific consignment type for this kind of tabular transfer i.e. ‘CODE-LIST’.

6. Data Transfer

The coordinating body must send the computer files completely and only once.

If the coordinating body notices that false data were transmitted or a problem occurred with the data transfer, the Commission has to be informed immediately. All files, which contain incorrect information, are to be indicated. Therefore, the Commission is to be asked to delete those files. Thereafter, in order to avoid an overlapping of computer records or data files, the coordinating body must send the corrected computer files to replace entirely the previous incorrect information.

ANNEX IV

Structure of EAFRD budget codes (F109)

1. EAFRD PROGRAMMING PERIOD 2014-2020:

1.1. Introduction

For the EAFRD (programming period 2014-2020), there is only one budget item defined in the budget nomenclature: ‘05046001’.

As budget codes can be up to 15 figures long, the remaining 7 figures can be used for further identifying the expenditure. This will allow reconciliation of data from different sources on financial year, paying agency, measure and programme level.

1.2. Budget code structure

The budget codes must have the structure ‘05046001 MM RRR PP’. The first 8 digits are constant ‘05046001’. The following 2 digits ‘MM’ indicate the measure.

Definition	The manufacturing process comprises two main phases: the first involving water extraction of the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant and preliminary purification of the extract by employing ion exchange chromatography to yield a steviol glycoside primary extract, and the second involving recrystallisation of the steviol glycosides from methanol or aqueous ethanol resulting in a final product containing not less than 95 % of the below identified 11 related steviol glycosides, in any combination and ratio. The additive may contain residues of ion-exchange resins used in the manufacturing process. Several other related steviol glycosides that may be generated as a result of the production process, but do not occur naturally in the Stevia rebaudiana plant have been identified in small amounts (0,10 to 0,37 % w/w).
