ERDF Operational Programme 2007-2013 of the Basque Country

To measure a file a measuring stick prior to it is needed. This document is one: it defines the system before the case existed.

The instrument

• Programming version of the ERDF OP 2007-2013 of the Basque Country (2007 document), complementary to the edited 2010 text (A.39.4).
• It defines: priority axes, allocations, intermediate bodies — the SPRI among them — and the management, verification and audit system of the period.

The exact temporal coincidence

The case's file (2011-2013: application, payments, non-compliance — A.1, A.5, A.6) falls entirely within this programming period. There is no grey zone of validity: each act of the file was carried out under these rules.

What it serves the reviewer for

This text allows the exercise without parties: to take each obligation of the system — prior verification, legitimacy of the beneficiary, audit trail — and ask the file where its compliance is on record. The unattended requirement of powers (A.4) and the declaration of non-compliance that does not mention its own verifications (A.6) are the first two results of that exercise.

How to verify it

Download the programme — it is public — and apply its management and control chapter to this portal's GAUZATU file. No need to believe anyone: the rule is official and the file is here.
