Requests for modification of the co-financing rate shall be submitted in accordance with the procedure for the amendment of programmes set out in Article 30 and shall be accompanied by a revised programme or programmes. The co-financing rate of 100 % shall apply only if the relevant amendment of the operational programme is approved by the Commission before the submission of the final application for an interim payment in accordance with Article 135(2).

Before submitting the first payment application for the accounting year starting 1 July 2021, Member States shall notify the table referred to in point (d)(ii) of Article 96(2) confirming the co-financing rate which was applicable during the accounting year ending 30 June 2020 for the priorities concerned by the temporary increase to 100 %.

2.In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the resources available for programming for the year 2020 for the Investment for growth and jobs goal may, at the request of a Member State, be transferred between the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund, irrespective of the percentages referred to in points (a) to (d) of Article 92(1).

For the purpose of those transfers, the requirements laid down in Article 92(4) shall not apply.

Transfers shall not affect resources allocated to the YEI in accordance with Article 92(5) or to the aid for the most deprived under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in accordance with Article 92(7).

Resources transferred between the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund under this paragraph shall be implemented in accordance with the rules of the Fund to which the resources are transferred.

3.By way of derogation from Article 93(1) and in addition to the possibility provided for in Article 93(2), resources available for programming for the year 2020 may, at the request of a Member State, be transferred between categories of regions in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

4.Requests for transfers under paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article shall be submitted in accordance with the procedure for amendment of programmes set out in Article 30, shall be duly justified and shall be accompanied by the revised programme or programmes identifying the amounts transferred by Fund and by category of region, where relevant.

5.By way of derogation from Article 18 of this Regulation and the Fund-specific Regulations, financial allocations set out in requests for programme amendments submitted or transfers notified pursuant to Article 30(5) of this Regulation, on or after 24 April 2020, shall not be subject to the requirements on thematic concentration set out in this Regulation or the Fund-specific Regulations.

6.By way of derogation from Article 16, as from 24 April 2020, Partnership Agreements shall not be amended and programme amendments shall not entail the amendment of Partnership Agreements.

By way of derogation from Articles 26(1), 27(1), 30(1) and 30(2), as from 24 April 2020 the consistency of programmes and of their implementation with the Partnership Agreement shall not be verified.

7.For operations that foster crisis response capacities in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 65(10), Article 65(6) shall not apply.

By way of derogation from point (b) of Article 125(3), such operations may be selected for support by the ERDF or the ESF prior to the approval of the amended programme.

9.The annual report on implementation of the programme referred to in Article 50(1) for the year 2019 shall be submitted by 30 September 2020 for all ESI Funds, by way of derogation from the deadlines set out in the Fund-specific Regulations. The transmission of the summary report to be prepared by the Commission in 2020, in accordance with Article 53(1), may be postponed accordingly.

10.By way of derogation from point (g) of Article 37(2), no review or update of the ex ante assessments shall be required where changes in financial instruments are necessary to provide an effective response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

11.Where financial instruments provide support in the form of working capital to SMEs pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 37(4) of this Regulation, new or updated business plans, or equivalent documents, and evidence allowing verification that the support provided through the financial instruments has been used for its intended purpose as part of the supporting documents, shall not be required.

By way of derogation from Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, such support may also be provided by the EAFRD under measures referred to in Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and relevant to the implementation of financial instruments. Such eligible expenditure shall not exceed EUR 200 000.

12.For the purposes of the second subparagraph of Article 127(1), the COVID-19 outbreak shall constitute a duly justified case that audit authorities may invoke, based on their professional judgement, to use a non-statistical sampling method for the accounting year starting 1 July 2019 and ending 30 June 2020.

13.For the purposes of application of point (f) of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), the condition that appropriations are for the same objective shall not apply in respect of transfers under paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article.]]
