The report is part of the guidelines drawn up by the Council on the amendments relating to the rules on the financial management of programmes cofinanced by the ESP, as well as to those concerning the implementation of programmes intended to facilitate, simplify and clarify the regulations governing cohesion policy. In Romania's case, this means increasing the volume of advance payments for the European Social Fund and Cohesion Fund, and more time for using European funds by 'decommitting' them so that Member States can reuse the funds as part of the programme.
Raportul se încadrează în liniile directoare trasate de Consiliu privind modificările legate de normele de gestiune financiară a programelor cofinanţate de FSE, precum şi de cele referitoare la punerea în aplicare a programelor în vederea facilitării, simplificării şi clarificării normelor care reglementează politica de coeziune.
