ANNEX IV Structure of EAFRD budget codes (F109)

INTRODUCTION

For EAFRD, there is only one budget heading defined in the budget nomenclature: ‘05040501’.

As the budget codes can be up to 15 figures long, the remaining 7 figures can be used for identifying the programs and measures. This will allow reconciliation of the data from the different sources on financial year, paying agency, measure and program level.

1. BUDGET CODE STRUCTURE

The budget codes must have the following structure:

• The first 8 figures are constant: ‘05040501’.

• The following 3 figures indicate the measure, according to the attached list.

• The next 1 digit can have the following values (increasing with increasing co-financing rate:

  1

  non-convergence region

  2

  convergence region

  3

  outermost region

  4

  voluntary modulation

  5

  additional contribution for Portugal

  6

  additional funds from Article 69(5a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, non-convergence region

  7

  additional funds from Article 69(5a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, convergence region

• The next digit indicates 0 = Operational Program or 1= Network Program.

• The last 2 figures indicate the program number: figures between ‘01’ and ‘99’ are allowed.

2. EXAMPLE

F109 = ‘050405011132001’ means: budget heading ‘05040501’ (EAFRD), measure ‘113’ (early retirement), convergence region (‘2’), Operational program (‘0’) and program number ‘01’.
