In order to ensure implementation of the programmes financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds (the ‘ESI Funds’), it is necessary to lay down further provisions for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013. To facilitate a comprehensive view and the access to those provisions, those provisions should be set out in one implementing act. (2) To increase flexibility in mobilising support for financial instruments from different sources managed by the managing authority in one of the ways set out in the first subparagraph of Article 38(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, it is necessary to clarify how the programme contributions are transferred and managed. In particular it is necessary to clarify the circumstances under which a financial instrument may receive contributions from more than one programme or from more than one priority axis or measure of the same programme, and the conditions under which national public or private contributions to financial instruments made at the level of final recipients can be taken into consideration as national co-financing resources. (3) It is necessary to establish a model for reporting on financial instruments to the Commission in order to ensure that the managing authorities provide the information required by Article 46(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 in a consistent and comparable way. The model for reporting on financial instruments is also necessary to enable the Commission to provide summaries of the data on progress made in financing and implementing the financial instruments. (4) In order to ensure a harmonised visual identity for information and communication measures for operations in the area of Union cohesion policy, the instructions for creating the Union emblem and a definition of the standard colours should be established, as well as technical characteristics for displaying the Union emblem and the reference to the Fund or Funds supporting the operation. (5) In order to ensure a harmonised visual identity for information and communication measures for infrastructure and construction operations in the area of Union cohesion policy, it is necessary to establish the technical characteristics of billboards and permanent plaques for infrastructure and construction operations where the total public support for each operation exceeds EUR 500 000. (6) For the purposes of Article 125(2)(d) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, it is necessary to lay down technical specifications of the system to record and store in computerised form data on each operation necessary for the monitoring, evaluation, financial management, verification and audit. (7) For the purposes of effective implementation of the second subparagraph of Article 122(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, it is necessary to ensure that the technical specifications of the system to record and store data guarantee full interoperability with the system referred to in Article 122(3) of that Regulation, at architectural, technical and semantic level. (8) The detailed technical specifications of the system to record and store data should be sufficiently documented to ensure audit trail of the compliance with the legal requirements. (9) The system to record and store data should also include appropriate search tools and reporting functions in order to be able to easily retrieve and aggregate information stored in it for monitoring, evaluation, financial management, verification and audit purposes.

ANNEX II Graphic standards for creating the Union emblem and the definition of the standard colours SYMBOLIC DESCRIPTION Against a background of blue sky, twelve golden stars form a circle representing the union of the peoples of Europe. The number of stars is fixed, twelve being the symbol of perfection and unity. HERALDIC DESCRIPTION On an azure field a circle of twelve golden mullets, their points not touching. GEOMETRIC DESCRIPTION The emblem has the form of a blue rectangular flag of which the fly is one and a half times the length of the hoist. Twelve gold stars situated at equal intervals form an invisible circle whose center is the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle. The radius of the circle is equal to one third of the height of the hoist. Each of the stars has five points which are situated on the circumference of an invisible circle whose radius is equal to one eighteenth of the height of the hoist. All the stars are upright, i.e. with one point vertical and two points in a straight line at right angles to the mast. The circle is arranged so that the stars appear in the position of the hours on the face of a clock. Their number is invariable. REGULATION COLOURS The emblem is in the following colours: — PANTONE REFLEX BLUE for the surface of the rectangle; — PANTONE YELLOW for the stars. FOUR-COLOUR PROCESS If the four-colour process is used, recreate the two standard colours by using the four colours of the four-colour process. PANTONE YELLOW is obtained by using 100 % ‘Process Yellow’. PANTONE REFLEX BLUE is obtained by mixing 100 % ‘Process Cyan’ and 80 % ‘Process Magenta’. INTERNET PANTONE REFLEX BLUE corresponds in the web-palette colour RGB:0/51/153 (hexadecimal: 003399) and PANTONE YELLOW corresponds in the web-palette colour RGB: 255/204/0 (hexadecimal: FFCC00). MONOCHROME REPRODUCTION PROCESS Using black, outline the rectangle in black and print the stars in black on white. Using blue (Reflex Blue), use 100 % with the stars reproduced in negative white. REPRODUCTION ON A COLOURED BACKGROUND If there is no alternative to a coloured background, put a white border around the rectangle, the width of the border being 1/25th of the height of the rectangle.

Summary: Cross-border regional cooperation — eligibility for funding Cross-border regional cooperation — eligibility for funding SUMMARY OF: Implementing Decision 2014/388/EU — regions eligible for funding for cross-border cooperation WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE DECISION? It lists the regions and areas eligible for EU funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to implement cross-border and transnational European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) initiatives for 2014-2020. KEY POINTS The regions and areas concerned receive funding specifically for projects involving cooperation with regions in other EU countries. The annexes list groups of regions and areas by ETC goals: Cross-border cooperation: programmes carried out jointly by adjacent or maritime border regions from 2 or more EU countries. Joint programmes involving neighbouring regions of EU and non-EU countries are included, provided that the non-EU regions are not covered by programmes under the EU’s external financial instruments*. Small regions (NUTS 3*) that are not part of any cross-border area and that are covered by the EU’s external financial instruments. Transnational cooperation: programmes involving national, regional and local partners over larger areas of cooperation, such as the Baltic Sea Region. FROM WHEN DOES THE DECISION APPLY? It has applied since 18 June 2014. BACKGROUND ETC (also known as Interreg) is an EU programme which encourages joint programmes, projects and networks between regions in different EU countries and between regions in EU countries and neighbouring non-EU regions. ETC allows regions and cities to work together on practical issues, share knowledge and learn from each other, to improve integration and quality of life across borders. The ERDF supports regional policy projects designed to correct imbalances between EU regions and thus strengthens economic and social cohesion. For more information, see: European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) (European Commission) European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) (European Commission) KEY TERMS External financial instruments: these support projects promoting European interests and values in non-EU countries, e.g. economic development in less affluent regions; peace, democracy and human rights; public sector reforms in EU candidate countries; etc. NUTS 3: the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) defines NUTS 3 regions as those whose administrative units have an average population of between 150 000 and 800 000.
