In line with the programme these authorities are those indicated below. Commitment and payments 2. Portugal guarantees that, for all action co-financed by the Community, all public and private bodies involved in its management and implementation shall keep accounts in standard form of all transac- tions in order to facilitate monitoring of expenditure by the Community and the national authorities responsible for surveillance. 3. The initial budgetary commitment shall be based on an indicative financial plan; this commitment shall be made for one year. 4. The commitment will be made when the decision approving assistance is adopted by the Standing Committee on Plant Health under procedure 16a(a) of Council Directive 77/93/EEC (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 98/2/EC (2). 5. The first instalment of ECU 250 000 shall be paid to Portugal immediately after the official noti- fication of the present Decision. 6.

Portugal and the Commission shall immediately exchange all relevant information in regard to the outcome of an inspection. 11. For three years following the last payment relating to the assistance the authority responsible for implementation shall keep available to the Commission all documentary evidence of expenditure incurred. 12. When it submits applications for payment Portugal shall make available to the Commission all official reports relating to supervision of the measures in question. Reduction, suspension and withdrawal of aid 13. Portugal and the recipients of aid shall declare that Community funds are used for the intended purposes. If implementation of a measure appears to require only part of the financial assistance allotted the Commission shall immediately recover the amount due. In cases of dispute the Commis- sion shall examine the case within the partnership framework, asking Portugal or the other authorities designated by Portugal for implementation of the measure to submit their comments within two months. 14. The Commission may reduce or suspend aid for a measure if the examination confirms the existence of an irregularity, in particular of a substantial modification affecting the nature or conditions of implementation of the measure for which approval by the Commission has not been sought. Recovery of undue payments 15. All sums unduly paid must be reimbursed to the Community by the designated authority indicated in point 8. Interest may be levied on sums not reimbursed. If for any reason the designated authority indicated in point 8 does not reimburse the Community, Portugal shall pay the amount to the Commission. Prevention and detection of irregularities 16. The partners shall observe a code of conduct drawn up by Portugal in order to ensure that any irregularity in the provision of the assistance programme is detected. Portugal shall ensure that: — suitable action is taken in this area, — any amount unduly paid as a result of an irregularity is recovered, — action is taken to prevent irregularities. B. Monitoring and assessment I. Monitoring Committee 1. E s t a b l i s h m e n t Independent of the financing of this action, a monitoring committee for the programme shall be set up by Portugal and the Commission. It shall regularly review implementation of the programme and, in appropriate cases, propose any adjustments required. 2. The Committee shall establish its own internal procedures within one month of the notification of the present decision to Portugal. 3. C o m p e t e n c e o f M o n i t o r i n g C o m m i t t e e The Committee: — shall have as its general responsibility the satisfactory progress of the programme towards attainment of the objectives set. Its competence shall embrace the programme measures within the limits of the Community aid granted. It shall keep watch on respect for the regulatory provisions, including those on eligibility of operations and projects, — shall, on the basis of information on the selection of projects already approved and imple- mented, reach an opinion on application of the selection criteria set out in the programme, — shall propose any action required to accelerate implementation of the programme in the light of the information furnished periodically by the interim monitoring and assessment indicators, L 325/20 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 3. 12. 98 — may, in agreement with the Commission representative(s), adjust the financing plans within a limit of 15 % of the Community contribution to a subprogramme or measure for the entire period, or 20 % for any year, provided that the total amount scheduled in the programme is not exceeded. Care must be taken to see that the main objectives of the programme are not thereby compromised, — shall give its opinion on the adjustments proposed to the Commission, — shall issue an opinion on technical assistance projects scheduled in the operational programme, — shall give its opinion on draft final reports, — shall report regularly to the Standing Committee on Plant Health on the progress of the programme and expenditure incurred, at least twice during the relevant period. II. Monitoring and assessment of the programme during the implementation period (continuous monitoring and assessment) 1. The national agency responsible for implementation shall also be responsible for continuous monitoring and assessment of the programme. 2. Continuous monitoring means an information system on the state of progress of the programme. Continuous monitoring will cover the measures contained in the programme. It involves reference to the financial and physical indicators structured so as to permit assessment of the correspondence between expenditure on each measure and predefined physical indicators showing the degree of realisation. 3. Continuous assessment of the programme will involve analysis of the quantitative results of implementation on the basis of operational, legal and procedural considerations. The purpose is to guarantee correspondence between measures and programme objectives. Implementation report and scrutiny of the programme 4. Portugal shall notify to the Commission, within one month of adoption of the programme, the name of the authority responsible for compilation and presentation of the final implementation report. The final report shall contain a concise evaluation of the entire programme (degree of achievement of physical and qualitative objectives and of progress accomplished) and an assessment of the immediate phytosanitary and economic impact. The final report on the present programme will be presented by the competent authority to the Commission before 31 March 1999 and shall thereafter be presented to the Standing Committee on Plant Health as soon as possible after this date. 5. The Commission may jointly with Portugal call in an independent assessor who shall, on the basis of the continuous monitoring, carry out the continuous assessment defined at point 3. He may submit proposals for adjustment of the subprogrammes and/or measures, modification of the selection criteria for projects, etc. , in the light of difficulties encountered in the course of imple- mentation. On the basis of monitoring of management he shall issue an opinion on the adminis- trative measures to be taken. To guarantee the assessor’s impartiality the Commission will not pay the entire cost of employing him. C. Information and publicity In the framework of this programme, the agency appointed as responsible for the programme shall ensure that it is adequately publicised. It shall in particular take action to: — make potential recipients and professional organisations aware of the possibilities offered under the programme measures, — make the general public aware of the Community’s role in the programme. Portugal and the agency responsible for implementation shall consult the Commission on initiatives envisaged in this area, possibly through the Monitoring Committee. They shall regularly notify the Commission of information and publicity measures adopted, either by a final report or through the Monitoring Committee. The national legal provisions on confidentiality of information shall be complied with. 3. 12. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 325/21 II. COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY POLICIES Community policies applying in this field must be complied with. The programme shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions on coordination of and compliance with Community policies. The following information must be supplied by Portugal. 1. Award of public contracts The ‘public contracts' (1) questionnaire must be completed for: — public contracts above the ceilings set by the ‘supplies' and ‘works' Directives that are awarded by contract-awarding authorities as defined in these Directives and are not covered by the exemptions specified therein, — public contracts below these ceilings where they constitute components of a single piece of work or of uniform supplies of a value above the ceiling. By ‘a single piece of work' is meant a product of building or civil engineering works intended in itself to fulfil an economic or technical function. The ceilings in force are the ones at the date of the notification of this Decision. 2. Protection of the environment (a) General information — description of the main environmental features and problems of the region concerned, giving a description of the important conservation areas (sensitive zones), — a comprehensive description of the major beneficial and harmful effects that the programme, given the investments planned, is likely to have on the environment, — a description of the action planned to prevent, reduce or offset any serious harmful effects on the environment, — a report on consultations with the responsible environmental authorities (opinion of the Ministry of the Environment or its equivalent) and, if there were any such consultations, with the public concerned. (b) Description of planned activities For programme measures liable to have a significantly harmful effect on the environment: — the procedures which will be applied for assessing individual projects during implementation of the programme, — the mechanisms planned for monitoring environmental impact during implementation, assessing results and eliminating, reducing or offsetting harmful effects.
