Effective implementation and key factors for successful usage of ESIF • Management and the overall coordination of the implementation funds through: • unitary management decisions on programming and implementation of funds and through a shortened decision making process; • synergy - structures that will not be replicated for each management authority; • shorter administrative deadlines; • unitary approach in terms of implementation according to standardized norms; • focus of expertise and a better management of human resources.
Sound implementation of 2014-2020 programming period Starting the sound implementation of 2014-2020 programming period represents one of the main priorities, thus: • the framework agreements for attributions delegation are being drafted • the description of the management and control systems is being prepared As far as the management system is concerned, simplification and effective coordination are the guiding principles of the new institutional architecture that will manage ESI Funds 2014-2020.
the Ministry of European Funds takes operational measures of a horizontal nature to applying modern management principles, based on performance Thus, the legal provisions impose a semestrial evaluation of the personnel involved in the management of EU funds on a basis of performance indicators • a coordination mechanism with structures on three levels (strategic committee, thematic inter-institutional, operational), is set up in order to ensure the coherence of the interventions, complementarities and synergies in the programming and implementation stages.
In order to provide a uniform and equitable rule applying to the FESI implementation for 2014-2020, there were adopted: • the national rules on the eligibility of expenditure • the financial flow mechanism • Regarding the IT system, Romania is currently developing SMIS 2014+ and MySMIS2014 • the modules are in various stages of analysis, development and testing, and it will operational gradually this year • This system will simplify the procedures as well as diminish the volume of documents submitted by the beneficiaries.
