TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE TRANSFER OF COMPUTER FILES TO THE EAGGF

(from 16 October 2004)

INTRODUCTION

These technical specifications apply in respect of the financial year 2004, which commenced on 16 October 2003.

1.   Transfer medium

The coordinating body of the Member State must transfer the computer files and the relating documentation to the Commission through STATEL/STADIUM. The Commission will only support one installation of STATEL/STADIUM per Member State. The latest STADIUM client and more information on the use of STATEL/STADIUM shall be downloaded from the CIRCA website of the EAGGF.

2.   Computer file structure

3.   Documentation

In the following cases only, the coordinating body of the Member State must transfer an explanatory note for each paying agency through STATEL/STADIUM:

The explanatory note shall have the look and feel of an ordinary letter. In particular the identity of the sender or the identity of the paying agency and the name or administrative unit of the addressee shall be clearly marked.

4.   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 these 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.

CONTENTS

General remark: significance of the X, A and D codes used in Annex I:

All the information marked “X” or “A” is obligatory.

Where a data request makes no sense under particular circumstances or is not applicable for the Member States concerned, then put NULL value, which shall be represented by two consecutive semicolons (;;) in the CSV format data file.

1.   DATA RELATING TO PAYMENTS

Preliminary remark: In this section, the term “payment” refers to both the EAGGF (Guarantee Section) payments and the receipts.

F100:   Name of paying agency

Required format: to be expressed by a code (see the code list F100 kept up to date on CAP-ED):

https://awai.cec.eu.int/

F101:   Reference number of payment

This field is related to field F510A where the Commission asks for the percentage of EAGGF funding. Depending on a country’s interpretation of the percentage under F510A, field F103B might be required or not. If the EAGGF funding is expressed as a percentage as against the total investment, the amount of the private sector contribution shall be given here. Total investment being defined as the total costs eligible under EAGGF. If on the contrary F510A is expressed as a percentage as against the total eligible public expenditure, i.e. national and European, then this field can be ignored.

There is no specific budget post on which to declare payments made using the amounts retained on the basis of Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999. These payments shall therefore be indicated in field F105A of the corresponding budget posts (050401054030, 050401064040, 050401084050 and 050401114070). They appear as positive amounts indicating that the expenditure is financed via penalties for non-respect of environmental protection regimes or the system of modulation.

In the domain of arable crops on the other hand, F105A will appear as a negative amount indicating a reduction of the direct aid.

F106:   Amount

Amount of each individual item of payment in the currency identified in field F107. The sum of these amounts (F106) by budget code (F109) shall in principle correspond with the amounts declared in Table 104. The amounts in field F106 relate to the EAGGF expenditure only.

Adjustments to quantities, areas and numbers of animals must be shown in the records covering the balance or subsequent payments. In the case of sums recovered, if the amount applied for is reduced because of incorrect quantities, areas or numbers of animals, the adjustments to the quantities must be indicated by a minus sign.

F500:   Product code/rural development submeasure code

The Member States must draw up their own lists of codes, to be detailed in the explanatory note to the payment file(s).

In the case of rural development measures, indicate where applicable a code per sub-measure implemented (e.g. type of agri-environmental measure).

Required format: to be expressed by a one-character code corresponding to the following table:

F801:   Application number (export refunds: SAD)

F802:   Customs office of placing under customs supervision

The Member States must use the transit customs office list (COL (4)). This is the list of authorised customs offices for Community/common transit operations. It may be that, due to its objective of “transit operations”, some of the customs offices might be missing although this will be the exception. In that case the Member State shall provide the name of the customs office in full.

Required format: The format of the COL code consists of two positions to denote the country followed by six numeric positions that define the customs office. For instance, “NL146123”.

F802B:   Customs office of exit

Indicate the customs office which certifies that products covered by refund applications have left the customs territory of the Community. The Member States must use the transit customs office list (COL). This is the list of authorised customs offices for Community/common transit operations. It may be that due to its objective of “transit operations” some of the customs offices might be missing although this will be the exception. In that case the Member State shall provide the name of the customs office in full.

This information is vital for the auditors in connection with the application of Regulation (EEC) No 386/90 concerning substitution checks. The information is available in T5 or equivalent documents.

Required format: The format of the COL code consists of two positions to denote the country followed by six numeric positions that define the customs office. For instance, “NL146123”.

F804:   Export refund code

In the case of non-processed agricultural products: The 12-digit product code, for which export refund is fixed.

In cases of processed products (non-Annex I goods or processed agricultural products): the CN code(s) of the ingredient(s) for which the export refund is fixed. In this case, F500 must be completed with the code of the final product. See also the explanatory note to F800 for the procedure to follow where more than one ingredient of a processed product is eligible for refund.

F805:   Code for destination

Required format: “XX”, where X stands for a letter between A and Z (codes of the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics of the Community. See Commission Regulation (EC) No 2020/2001 (OJ L 273, 16.10.2001, p. 6) and subsequent updates).

In view of harmonisation, the Member States shall also use the miscellaneous category (codes Q*) of the nomenclature of countries and territories for the external trade statistics. It is known that that nomenclature does not cover all special export refund cases but the Commission does not require that kind of detail.
