COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2015/1076
of 28 April 2015
laying down, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, additional rules on the replacement of a beneficiary and on the related responsibilities, and minimum requirements to be included in Public Private Partnership agreements funded by the European Structural and Investment Funds
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 (1), and in particular Articles 63(4) and 64(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 63(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 stipulates that in relation to a Public Private Partnership (‘PPP’) operation a beneficiary may be a body governed by private law of a Member State (‘private partner’). In accordance with Article 63(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, the private partner selected to implement the operation may be replaced as beneficiary during implementation where this is required under the terms and conditions of the PPP or of the underlying financing agreement between the private partner and the financial institution co-financing the operation. |
(2) |
In order to specify a complete set of obligations of the partners under a PPP operation, it is necessary to lay down additional rules on the replacement of the beneficiary and on the related responsibilities. |
(3) |
In the case of the replacement of a beneficiary in a PPP operation funded by European Structural and Investment Funds, it is necessary to ensure that after the replacement, the new partner or body provides at least the same service, and with the same minimum quality standards, which was required by the initial PPP contract. |
(4) |
For a PPP operation where the public law body is the beneficiary of the grant, Article 64(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 sets out the conditions under which expenditure incurred and paid by a private partner may be considered as incurred and paid by the beneficiary. Article 64(2) of that Regulation requires the payment in respect of such expenditure to be made into an escrow account in the name of the beneficiary. |
(5) |
It is necessary to lay down the minimum requirements to be included in PPP agreements which are necessary for the application of Article 64(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, including provisions related to termination of the PPP agreement and for the purpose of ensuring an adequate audit trail, |
