THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

(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,

2. Adjustment of amounts U.K.

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:

• The national minimum wage is specified in national Subsidiary Legislation 452.71 (National Minimum Wage Standing Order).

• The statutory bonuses, weekly allowances and social security contributions provided for in Chapter 452 of the Maltese legislation on the Employment and Industrial relations Act.

Unit costs 5-9 may be adjusted in line with the cost of inflation at a national level for the relevant year the particular intervention is being undertaken. The annual rates of inflation are published by the National Statistics Office and can be found at: https://nso.gov.mt/en/nso/Selected_Indicators/Retail_Price_Index/Pages/Index-of-Inflation.aspx”
