         COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2018/1127
         of 28 May 2018
         amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2195 on supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Social Fund, regarding the definition of standard scales of unit costs and lump sums for reimbursement of expenditure by the Commission to Member States
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Social Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1081/2006 (1), and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     With a view to simplifying the use of the European Social Fund ‘ESF’ and reducing the administrative burden for beneficiaries, it is appropriate to increase the scope of standard scales of unit costs and lump sums available for reimbursement to Member States. The standard scales of unit costs and lump sums for reimbursement to Member States should be established on the basis of data submitted by Member States or published by Eurostat and on the basis of methods commonly agreed, including the methods set out in Article 67(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and Article 14(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 1304/2013.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Taking into account the significant disparities between Member States regarding the level of costs for a particular type of operation, the definition and amounts of standard scales of unit costs and lump sums may differ according to the type of operation and the Member State concerned in order to reflect their specificities.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     Croatia, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdon have submitted methods for defining standard scales of unit costs for reimbursement of expenditure by the Commission.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     France, the Czech Republic, Malta, Slovakia and Cyprus have submitted methods for either amending existing standard scales of unit costs, or defining additional standard scales of unit costs for reimbursement by the Commission concerning types of operation not yet covered by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2195 (3).
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     For the SSUCs relating to operations supporting education and applicable to all Member States except Greece and Denmark, the categories of costs coverd by the SSUCs, and the amounts to be paid where the course does not last one full academic year or in case of part-time participation, should be clarified.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2195 should therefore be amended accordingly,

                     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 + 05 × Sr/So)
                     Sr is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifyer 1 567 446) of the last monthly publication at the date of the adjustment.
                     So is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifyer 1 567 446) of the monthly publication at the date of submission of the tender for the first adjustment then, for the following adjustments, of the monthly publication of the anniversary date of submission of the tender.’

               (2)  The entitlement to receive an allowance is regulated in decree no88-368 of 15 April 1988 modified by decree no2002-1551 of 23 December 2002.

                           2.   Adjustment of amounts
                     
                     Unit cost 1 may be adjusted by replacing the initial minimum wage and/or the statutory bonus and/or weekly allowances and/or social security contributions in the calculation method that consists of the lowest weekly rate of national minimum wage for a particular year, the statutory bonus, weekly allowances and social security contributions, and dividing this result by 2.
                     Unit cost 2 may be adjusted by applying the annual rate of inflation to the respective rates. From 2017, for a given year N, this can be be done by applying the inflation rate for year N-1 as published by the Maltese National Statistics Office at: https://nso.gov.mt/en/nso/Selected_Indicators/Retail_Price_Index/Pages/Index-of-Inflation.aspx
                     Unit costs 3-4 may be adjusted by replacing the initial national minimum wage for persons 18 years or over and/or the statutory bonuses and/or weekly allowances and/or social security contributions in the calculation method that consists of the hourly rate of national minimum wage for persons 18 years or over for a particular year, the statutory bonuses, the weekly allowances and social security contributions.
                     Adjustments will be based on updated data as follows:
