(*1)  By ticking the box the Member State requests to apply, pursuant to Article 25a(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, a co-financing rate of 100% to expenditure declared in payment applications during the accounting year starting on 1 July 2020 and ending on 30 June 2021 for [all priority axes] [some of the priority axes] of the operational programme.

(47)  To be completed only when priority axes are expressed in total costs.

(48)  The derogation from the first and second sub-paragraphs of Article 120(3) CPR (provided for in Article 92b(11) CPR) is not applicable to the REACT-EU additional resources allocated to technical assistance. Where the technical assistance priority axis provides support for more than one category of regions, the co-financing rate for such a priority axis will be determined by proportionately reflecting, within the ceilings provided for in Article 120(3) CPR, the distribution of the REACT-EU resources amongst categories of regions within that priority axis.

(49)  This rate may be rounded to the nearest whole number in the table. The precise rate used to reimburse payments is the ratio (f).

(50)  The national counterpart is divided pro-rata between the main allocation and the performance reserve.

(51)  This priority axis comprises the specific allocation to YEI and the matching ESF support.

(52)  This part of a priority axis comprises the specific allocation to YEI and the matching ESF support.

(57)  ESF allocation without the matching support for the YEI.

(58)  ESF allocation without the matching support for the YEI.

(59)  Includes the YEI special allocation and the matching support from the ESF.

(60)  Includes the YEI REACT-EU special allocation and the matching support from the ESF REACT-EU.

(61)  To be completed for every (part of a) priority axis which implements the YEI.

(62)  The YEI (specific allocation and matching ESF support) is considered a Fund and appears as a separate row even if it is part of a priority axis.

(63)  To be completed only when priority axes are expressed in total costs.

(64)  This rate may be rounded to the nearest whole number in the table. The precise rate used to reimburse payments is the ratio (f).

(65)  For the purposes of this table, the YEI (specific allocation and matching ESF support) is considered as a fund.
