THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down                           common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural                           Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European                           Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing                           Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006(1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8 and the fifth subparagraph of Article 22(7) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)In order to ensure that the necessary legislation is in place for the programming of the European Structural and Investment                              Funds (‘ESIF funds’) and to allow for the timely adoption of the relevant operational programmes, Commission Implementing                              Regulation (EU) No 215/2014(2) was adopted prior to the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3).

(2)Subsequent to the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, certain references in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 215/2014                              to the future Union legal act on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (‘EMFF’) should be replaced by references to Regulation                              (EU) No 508/2014.

(3)As far as the EMFF is concerned, weightings to measures set out in the future Union legal act on the EMFF as regards the level                              of support for climate change objectives for each of the five ESIF funds as adopted by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 215/2014                              were attached in a provisional way. References in Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 215/2014 should therefore be                              aligned with the final numbering of the provisions in Regulation (EU) No 508/2014.

(4)In order to ensure that in the context of the performance framework the achievement of the milestone and target for the financial                              indicator can be assessed on the basis of the payment applications submitted to the Commission, the incorrect reference in                              Article 5(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 215/2014 to point (c) of Article 126 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 should                              be corrected into a reference to point (a) of Article 126 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.

(5)In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter                              into force on the day following that of its publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.

(6)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Coordination Committee for the European                              Structural and Investment Funds,

(7)Implementing Regulation (EU) No 215/2014 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly,
