2.   Adjustment of amounts

The amount of unit cost 1. is based partly on a standard scale of unit cost funded entirely by France. Out of the 6 400 EUR, 1 600 EUR correspond to the standard scale of unit cost set out by the “instruction ministérielle du 11 octobre 2013 relative à l'expérimentation Garantie Jeunes prise pour l'application du décret 2013-80 du 1er octobre 2013 ainsi que par l'instruction ministérielle du 20 mars 2014
  ” to cover the costs borne by the Youth Public Employment Services “Missions Locales” to coach each NEET entering the “Garantie Jeunes”.

Unit cost 1. shall be updated by the Member State in line with adjustments under national rules to the standard scale of unit cost of 1 600 EUR mentioned in paragraph 1 above that covers the costs borne by the Youth Public Employment Services.

The amount of unit costs 2. and 3. are based on publicly procured prices for training hours in the respective fields and geographical areas. These amounts will be adjusted when the procurement process for the underlying training courses is repeated according to the following formula:

New price (excl. VAT) = Old price (excl. VAT) × (0,5 + 0,5 × Sr/So)

Sr is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1567446) of the last monthly publication at the date of the adjustement

So is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1567446) of the monthly publication at the date of submission of the tender for the first adjustment; then, for the following adjustements, it refers to the monthly publication of the anniversary date of the submission of the tender.
