ANNEX I
Functional Area Typologies
In the period 2014-2020 the following urban areas may be eligible for co-financing of operations included in DUSI Strategies:
1. Urban areas consisting of a single municipality with a population of over 20,000.
The municipalities of more than 20,000 inhabitants will be able to present DUSI Strategies. These strategies of local scale may refer to the whole of the municipal term, or be limited to urban areas under different types of morphological and functional typology: historical centres, disadvantaged neighbourhoods or suburban areas specific issues and unique challenges.
It is recommended that the administrative management unit of these strategies be the municipality's own City Council.
2. Clusters of municipalities with a population of each of them more than 20,000 inhabitants.
The clusters of two or more municipalities, with a population of more than 20,000 inhabitants, will be able to jointly present a strategy at the supramunicipal scale according to the definition of the area. urban functional of such a strategy.
Strategies should provide a coherent and reasoned justification for the existence of common problems, the complementarity of urban functions, as well as the explanation that tackling them together is the optimal way to achieve solutions to these problems. They should also explain how relations between municipalities will be intensified to take advantage of synergies and complementarities.
In this case, the participating councils will have to define a single administrative management body for the Strategies, which could be one of those Ayuntamas or an existing supramunicial organ or a new constitution.
3. Urban areas formed by a municipality or conurbation of more than 20,000 inhabitants and peripheral municipalities of less than 20,000 inhabitants.
The municipalities or conurbations of more than 20,000 inhabitants that constitute the center of urban areas of other municipalities of less than 20,000 inhabitants, will be able to present jointly strategies DUSI in accordance with the definition of the urban functional area covered by these Strategies.
This type of functional area must be made up of a central municipality or central conurbation (greater than 20,000 inhabitants), and another or other municipalities (less than 20,000 inhabitants) whose municipal terms are adjacent to the of the first.
The strategies will have to justify in a coherent and reasoned manner the existence of common problems affecting the urban agglomeration as a whole, the promotion of the links between the urban and rural areas, as well as the an explanation that the supramunicipal urban scale is optimal to address solutions to these problems.
The participating councils will have to define a single administrative management body for the Strategies, which is recommended to be the municipality of the central municipality of more than 20,000 inhabitants, or a supramunicipal organ. existing or new constitution.
4. Conurbations of more than 20,000 inhabitants, consisting of groups of municipalities of less than 20,000 inhabitants.
The conurbations of more than 20,000 inhabitants constituted by two or more municipalities of less than 20,000 inhabitants that present a physical urban continuity, so that they constitute morphologically a single urban core, they will be able present joint DUSI strategies in a manner consistent with the definition of the urban functional area.
This typology encompasses "polycentric areas" characterized by the existence of several centers that coexist in a territory with both competition and complementarity. They are functional urban areas that do not have a marked dependency on a central core and share common problems of different order.
These strategies will have to justify in a coherent and reasoned manner the existence of common problems, demonstrate the urban physical continuity, as well as the explanation that the supramunicipal urban scale is the optimal one to address the solutions to these problems.
The participating councils will have to define a single administrative management body for the strategies, which could be one of those councils or an existing or newly established supramunicial organ.
Additional considerations
The selected urban area should be the effective support for a long-term DUSI Strategy, not simply the area where targeted urban improvement operations will be executed.
The scale of the chosen urban area should have sufficient critical mass to implement a strategy that addresses at least two of the following thematic objectives: OT2, OT4, OT6 and OT9, and preferably more than two. This should be explained in a detailed and detailed manner.
The selected urban area must have appropriate management authorities, with sufficient and demonstrated capacity to implement and implement the Strategies.
The municipalities and, where appropriate, the supramunitial entities, must demonstrate their capacity on the basis of the criteria defined in this call, and as provided for in the ERDF Regulation, the Association Agreement and the Sustainable Growth.
The resources will be allocated to urban authorities to promote the strategies and operations of Integrated Sustainable Urban Development, taking into account the change and the transformations that are intended to be reached on the basis of a clear definition of the needs and potential of the urban area.
ANNEX II
Content of Sustainable and Integrated Urban Development (DUSI) strategies
1. Initial identification of urban problems/challenges of the area. Urban problems are those obstacles and bottlenecks that will give rise to the challenges that urban authorities must address in order to achieve real sustainable urban development. Most of these problems fall within the thematic objectives financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds and in line with the specific investment priorities for urban areas, including the promotion of urban areas. low-carbon strategies for urban areas, improving the urban environment (including the regeneration of abandoned industrial areas and reducing air pollution), promoting sustainable urban mobility and promoting sustainable urban mobility. promotion of social inclusion.
Problems not only take into account weaknesses or needs but also assets, existing resources and potential. They may have already been identified by the urban authorities involved (through instruments such as strategic plans, agendas 21, sectoral action programmes, etc.) or, in other cases, should be highlighted or better known through the analysis of the different urban dimensions. Therefore, depending on the cases, different processes and different times may be required for this diagnosis.
A greater and better knowledge of these problems will lead us to identify the many challenges facing the urban area to address, promote and implement a true urban development strategy. sustainable.
2. Analysis of the urban area as a whole from an integrated perspective. Once the main urban problems have been identified, it is appropriate to analyse the urban dimensions affecting these problems, the territorial relations (urban functions) and the appropriate territorial scales.
The purpose of this analysis is to understand in depth the main weaknesses and threats that affect the urban environment as well as its strengths, and the main factors and territorial keys of its development to address the multiple challenges facing urban areas, transforming these into opportunities.
For guidance, some aspects may be included in the analysis, depending on the problems identified and the circumstances of each urban area, but in any case at least the five challenges defined in Article 7 of the ERDF Regulation: economic, environmental, climate, demographic and social:
A. Physical analysis. Among other aspects, we will study the situation of the building park, analyzing with special attention the housing stock and the state of the public buildings, determining the potentiality of the rehabilitation action lines. In the event of an infringement, determine whether it is concentrated in certain neighbourhoods or urban environments.
Other possible aspects to be analyzed are mobility, the transport and communications system, and the traffic situation, both urban and interurban, relating the existing transport networks to population densities. and economic activities. To determine the degree of adequacy of existing equipment to the needs of different urban environments. Determine the degree of accessibility, especially in urbanized spaces, for people with reduced mobility.
B. Environmental analysis and climatic conditions. This aspect would imply a quantitative and qualitative detail of the green areas of the field and, in particular, those of public access, analyzing their suitability for the existing uses and activities and the demand for such spaces. It is important to identify those areas that are subject to environmental degradation, either because they are in disused industrial areas or because of other causes. To present the main indicators of air quality in the field and noise levels, determining, where appropriate, those areas with the greatest problems of air pollution and noise pollution. The analysis should include the study of urban waste collection and treatment systems and the provision of landfill. Also, describe the situation of the water supply and sewerage network, access to energy sources and consumption patterns. Finally, the exposure to possible natural risks of the scope and the possible effects of climate change should be analyzed.
C. Energy analysis. It would involve analyzing from the point of view of their energy consumption the state of the building park-housing and public buildings-public transport, public lighting and those facilities in which savings opportunities are presented energy or increase of the percentage of the share of renewable energy.
D. Economic analysis. It should pick up aspects such as the characterization of the local labour market as well as the supply and demand for employment. It is important to approach the distribution and location of the economic activity and the business fabric, analyzing the business structure of the municipality and, specifically, the situation of the SMEs in the urban area. The main productive sectors as well as the local competitiveness factors should be presented, analysing the role of the sector in the regional/national economy as a whole. In addition, the economic situation of people and households should be analysed, through variables such as per capita income, disposable income or the number of households affected by unemployment.
E. Demographic analysis. In cases where problems can be identified that may be linked to demographic issues, the demographic structure should be analysed through a pyramid of population disaggregated by gender, studying evolution and distribution. space of the population in the field. It is important to identify trends experienced in the urban environment (growth or decrease, ageing, migratory phenomena, etc.) and to establish some future projections in different scenarios. In this area, one of the clear instruments is the exploitation of the Municipal Register of Inhabitants and the data of the Census of Population and Housing.
F. Social analysis. This type of analysis involves describing the educational level of the population by age ranges as well as the rate of school dropout, and identifying possible areas of social conflict, pockets of poverty and social exclusion, as well as high crime rates. It should also be considered the presence of ethnic minorities, determining their spatial distribution or concentration, as well as the socio-cultural diversity of the field. In the elaboration of this analysis it is important to take into account the different needs of men and women.
G. Analysis of the territorial context. The analysis of this aspect should not be limited to the area of administrative boundaries, but urban realities should be presented in their proper territorial context, studying the functional relations and regional dynamics that explain or condition the situation of the different urban environments. The materialization of this analysis must be carried out according to the situation and morphology of the territory, although it must always be present, be it in the case of large metropolitan areas, as if the object of analysis is a set of smaller population cores joined by certain common challenges.
H. Analysis of the competence framework. The powers with which the local entity counts for its implementation shall be defined, determining in which matters it may act directly and where it will be necessary to refer to the field of inter-administrative relations with other entities. Local, Autonomous Community or General Administration of the State.
The interrelations of the local authorities with the state and regional administration as well as with other local entities, make it necessary to analyze their concrete situation in the administrative structure, especially in the field of competence.
Therefore, the integrated territorial strategy should include an analysis of competencies and services, distinguishing between:
(i) Own powers in accordance with Articles 7.2, 25, 26 and 36 of Law 7/1985 of 2 April, regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, as amended by Law 27/2013 of 27 December, of rationalisation and sustainability of the Local Administration.
(ii) Powers delegated in accordance with Articles 7.3, 27 and 37 of Law 7/1985 of 2 April, regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, as amended by Law 27/2013.
(iii) Competences exercised in accordance with Article 7.4 of Law 7/1985 of 2 April, regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, as amended by Law 27/2013.
I. Analysis of existing planning instruments. For the elaboration of the strategy, they will analyze the set of support tools that can serve for the realization of the analysis and diagnosis phase and for the orientation of the integrated lines of action. These include:
i) The figure/s of urban planning and spatial planning and sectoral plans affecting the urban area.
ii) Local-level indicator batteries developed in the context of other municipal projects (Local Agenda 21, Strategic Plan, ...)
iii) The various sectoral strategies which, in summary, harmonised and, where appropriate, updated, can be a starting point for the development of the integrated strategy. The development of a DUSI strategy should not be based on zero. Most Local Entities have updated strategic plans, 21 agendas, sectoral programs, etc., that must be integrated into the process.
In short, it is necessary that the different municipal areas, traditionally focused on sectoral realizations of their competence, assume their responsibility as a "partner" of a DUSI Strategy, adapting their lines of actions and resources to this Strategy and contributing from its scope to its definition and development.
J. Risk analysis. The Strategy will incorporate a risk analysis, or a similar document, in which, in view of the characteristics of the urban area, the main risks that can be encountered by obstacles to the normal development of measures and actions can be considered. to resolve the problems identified.
To do this, first of all, the main risks to which the strategy will have to face will be related, as can be issues related to the operational development of the lines of action, problems of solvency economic and financial obstacles, obstacles of a normative nature, human resources and administrative capacity, technical barriers that can hinder the resolution of urban problems, etc. Second, each of these identified risks will be linked with corrective and preventive measures already planned or in progress that can be used to address them and reduce their negative impact on the effectiveness of the resolution of the referred to. urban problems.
3. Diagnosis of the situation of the urban area. Definition of expected results. From the analysis carried out, a diagnosis of the situation of the urban area will be extracted through a DAFO or similar analysis, which must be of a transversal nature, and that will allow to clearly identify the needs and problems of the urban area, thus as their assets and potentialities.
This diagnosis will make it possible to define below the expected results that are intended to be achieved in the long term through the implementation of the DUSI Strategy. These results will be linked where appropriate with the thematic objectives and investment priorities set out in the Sustainable Growth Operational Programme.
Sustainable Urban Development Strategies should not be thematically comprehensive or "comprehensive" addressing all possible issues and areas. They need to define priorities and this is a choice and a hierarchy of challenges to be addressed and objectives to be achieved.
4. Delimitation of the scope of action. Based on the analysis and diagnosis made, and taking into account the expected results, the scope of action and the affected population will be defined, and their choice should be based on indicators and variables of a social, demographic, economic and environmental.
The delimitation should be clear and unambiguous, taking into account that there are several possibilities for delimitation, since integrated actions can range from neighborhood or district to broader functional areas as city-regions or metropolitan areas as well as the link between the city and the surrounding rural environment.
In addition to the geographical delimitation, the scope of action should be defined with indicators reflecting the social, demographic, economic and environmental dimensions, such as the reference to a given economic sector or a group of affected population.
As has already been pointed out, the delimitation of the scope of action will be determined by the characteristics and nature of the problem or situation to be addressed. Not all problems within the Strategy should be addressed and dealt with on the same scale. Therefore, once the appropriate urban area is defined for the implementation of the long-term strategy, which could assume a functional urban area demarcation, including several interlinked urban nuclei around certain functions, the areas or territorial scales of the lines of action or operations, shall have different scales and dimensions.
To the extent that these actions included in the Strategy are integrated and interrelated, all of them should contribute to the Single Strategy for Sustainable Urban Development, even if they are implemented in times and on different territorial scales.
The scale of implementation of an operation could result in its implementation in the functional urban area as a whole or in a polycentric urban network (e.g. in the case of a mobility and public transport problem). concentrate on a small sub-area, neighbourhood or residential area (for example in the case of a social inclusion problem and resident vulnerable population education).
5. Plan for Implementation of the Strategy. On the basis of the diagnosis made and the results achieved in the urban area, and once the scope of action and the population is defined, the Strategy will incorporate an Implementation Plan, which will contain at least the following elements:
The description of the action lines to be performed by specific Objective to achieve the defined results.
Description, for each line of action, of the criteria and procedures for the selection of operations.
A timeline, which will include the indicative temporary planning of the different lines of action for each specific objective to be carried out over the period of the Strategy's term.
The total indicative budget of the Implementation Plan, detailed by line of action and specific objective. Also, the planned expenditure for the management of each specific objective, as well as the costs of horizontal management (coordination and financial management of the strategies, travel, dissemination days, etc.) will be quantified, which will not exceed the total of 4 % of total expenditure.
The productivity indicators for the lines of action referred to in the Implementation Plan, according to Annex VIII of this call.
The operations that will ultimately develop the Strategy Implementation Plan will need to be coordinated with the European Social Fund, with the flexibility allowed by Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 in its article. 98.2, to apply 10% of ERDF resources to ESF-type action lines.
General guidance on the operations to be developed under the selected Strategies is included in Annex VII, in line with the provisions of the POCS.
In any case it shall apply to Article 61 and 65 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013.
6. Citizen participation and social partners. One of the key aspects in the development of the DUSI Strategy is the need to guarantee citizen participation in its elaboration and implementation, establishing effective mechanisms of information and consultation of citizens, in addition to key economic, social and institutional players.
Thus, the Strategy should clearly state how the views of these actors have been taken into account in their development, both in the design and monitoring process, as well as the way in which communication, dissemination and communication will be carried out. Promotion of the Strategy within the urban area between its main social, economic and citizen sectors.
The document should include a list of institutions, organizations, and public, private and civic entities that have been convened for participation in the elaboration of the Strategy.
7. Administrative Capacity. The Strategy must include a summary with the structure that is available or intended to be created for the implementation of the Strategy, either by framing it within the Beneficial Entity or with external staff by creating a management office that coordinate their development and follow-up. The proposal should point out whether external technical assistance has been provided for.
The beneficiary entity must have a technical team that is aware of national and Community regulations and regulations on European funds in relation to, in particular, the selection of operations (Article 125.3). Regulation 1303/2013 of 17 December 2013 common provisions of the European Funds, public procurement, the environment, equal opportunities and non-discrimination, eligibility for expenditure, information and publicity and other matters necessary to comply correctly with the current legislation, as well as knowledge and experience in the field of sustainable and integrated urban development.
The total co-financed management expense cannot exceed 4% of the total expenditure of the selected DUSI Strategy Implementation Plan.
8. Horizontal principles and cross-cutting objectives:
Equality between men and women and non-discrimination. Equality of opportunity is a general principle whose two aspects are equal treatment between people and equality between men and women. This general principle should be applied in all sectors, in particular in professional life, education and access to healthcare, goods and services.
The principle of non-discrimination is established to ensure equal treatment among individuals whatever their nationality, sex, race or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or orientation. sexual.
The Strategy designed should take into account these horizontal principles on equality between men and women and non-discrimination. It will be necessary to point out how the Strategy contributes to greater integration into the labour and social world of both women and the disabled, other marginalised groups, immigrants and ethnic minorities.
Sustainable development. Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 provides that the objectives of the ESI Funds shall be pursued in the framework of sustainable development in order to preserve and improve the environment, and taking into account the principle that ' pollute pays. "
The horizontal principle of sustainable development involves the implementation of cross-cutting measures related to environmental protection, efficiency in the use of resources, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem protection, disaster resistance, risk prevention and management.
The Strategy designed should take into account this horizontal principle of sustainable development. It will be necessary to point out how the Strategy contributes to achieving greater efficiency in the use of resources, decarbonisation of the economy, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems, and disaster resilience.
Accessibility. The Spanish Disability Strategy 2012-2020 sets out a number of policy areas and strategic measures in the field of education, employment, health and the fight against poverty, as well as establishing universal accessibility as a precondition for for participation in society and in the economy.
The DUSI Strategy presented should take into account the requirements set out in the Spanish Disability Strategy, in order to facilitate access to disabled people
Demographic change. One of the greatest challenges facing Europe-and Spain-is demographic change and in particular the ageing of the population. This structural change that leads to the existence of a higher percentage of people in the population of more than 65 years produces greater pressure on the pension system and the increase in demand for social protection benefits. especially health care services and related to situations of dependency.
The Strategy designed should take into account the challenges that arise as a result of demographic change in urban areas, and in particular address the needs of older people.
Mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 provides that climate change mitigation and adaptation to climate change is a cross-cutting objective that will be present in the preparation, programming, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all climate change. Funds.
Designed strategies will take into account measures that contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation and the reduction of their effects, taking into account the risk of natural disasters caused by extreme weather.

ANNEX VII
General guidelines on operations to be co-financed under the selected strategies
1. Once the strategy has been selected and the amount of ERDF assistance allocated to it has been awarded, the local authority shall select the operations to be co-financed to be subject to verification of its eligibility by the Management Authority.
2. The operations that will eventually be carried out within the framework of the strategies selected by this call will be co-financed under the Operational Programme for Sustainable Growth, within the Urban Axis, from the ERDF Fund, although be closely coordinated with the ESF, and be eligible for the flexibility allowed by the Regulation to apply 10% of ERDF resources to ESF-type action lines.
3. For the purposes of monitoring the POCS, a Monitoring Committee shall be set up, which shall meet annually, the members of which shall be composed of the Management Authority, the Intermedial Management Bodies and the Qualifying Entities. present call.
4. The selected operations must be consistent with the programming of the Urban Axis of the POCS, in whose design the members of the RIU have participated. Operations shall include at least two of the following Thematic Objectives, although it will be assessed to present lines of action in the four.
OT2: Improve access, use, and quality of information and communication technologies.
OT4: Promote the transition to a low-carbon economy in all sectors.
OT6: Keep and protect the environment and promote resource efficiency.
OT9: Promote social inclusion and fight poverty.
5. It will be assessed, in order to maintain consistency with the Sustainable Growth Operational Programme, that the relative weights of each of these thematic objectives are within the following range (in which the RIU has been involved):
OT2: 10 to 20% of the total help.
OT4: between 20 and 30%.
OT6: 25% to 35%.
OT9: 25% to 35%.
6. The above percentages are indicative, but the total allocation in terms of aid from the set of operations co-financed within the Urban Axis must be adjusted to these percentages. In justified cases, joint financing of operations that did not include any of the identified Thematic Objectives could be co-financed, with OT4 and OT9 not being possible.
7. Once the operations are selected, they must contain the following information:
i) Detailed description, objectives and expected results, the beneficiary population, and the area or sub-area of intervention within the functional urban area of the strategy.
ii) Explanation of the interrelations of operations, their contribution to the objectives of the DUSI Strategy and their contribution to the expected results of the Sustainable Growth OP 2014-2020.
iii) Classification of proposed operations within the Thematic Objectives, Investment Priorities and Specific Objectives defined in the OP Sustainable Growth, and quantification of the productivity indicators (listed in Annex VIII) with which the performance of the lines of action shall be measured, with their starting, intermediate values as appropriate, and end of the programming period. Failure to comply with the values of these indicators may result in the withdrawal of the efficiency reserve (6% of the entire Urban Axis) in year 2108 and/or financial corrections in the year 2023.
iv) Financial implementation schedule with horizon 2022, with broken budgets, to be presented in parallel with the physical execution, with the corresponding productivity indicators. Where appropriate, complementarity with other funds such as the ESF should be indicated.
v) Verification that there is no overlap and/or inconsistency between proposed lines of action within the DUSI Strategy and other lines of action carried out by regional or state authorities or, where appropriate, explain possible complementarities and synergies with these lines of action.
8. On the other hand, without prejudice to the selection criteria that will be defined in the Follow-up Committee and which will subsequently be applied by the Local Entities, the eligible operations must comply with the eligibility requirements set out in the POCS, which are as follows:
a) General criteria. The criteria for the selection of operations shall be approved by the Monitoring Committee. Such criteria shall respect the general principles defined in Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 (non-discrimination, gender equality and sustainable development) and comply with Union and national legislation (Article 6 of the Treaty). Regulation).
In general, the selection of operations should be governed by the principles of equality between beneficiaries, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of the operations, transparency of the selection criteria, capacity of the beneficiaries to implement them and strategic alignment with other operations and instruments.
In addition, operations must:
i) Contribute to the DUSI Strategy.
ii) Contribute to the Operational Program.
iii) Address problems in an integrated way and show clear links to other co-existing interventions or operations.
iv) Measure through the productivity indicators in Annex VIII, provided that they are consistent with the Thematic Objectives in which the action is taken.
b) Criteria for the operations contained in each Thematic Objective.
OT2: Information and Communications Technologies. The provision of equipment for municipal offices and platforms, including the platforms for the management of Smart cities, will be subject to their need for the implementation of municipal applications and operations included in the strategies for urban development. The simple endowment of equipment will not be bankable.
Smart cities management platforms that are linked to energy efficiency or the collective transport sector will be based on energy studies or sustainable urban mobility studies, respectively, which will be able to be included in the sustainable urban development strategy itself or in separate planning documents.
The digitalization operations of cultural heritage focused on tourism should be framed in lines of action of tourist dynamization definidass in the strategies of DUSI.
OT4: Low Economy in Carbon. With regard to sustainable urban mobility:
The operations funded will be part of an urban mobility plan within the DUSI Strategy. This mobility plan will take into account the Commission's proposal on sustainable urban mobility plans adopted in 2013, and will establish a series of inter-related measures designed to meet the mobility needs present and future for people and businesses. The funding will prioritize the lines of action that will improve access to basic public services throughout the urban area.
Regarding the energy efficiency performance lines:
The promotion of energy efficiency must always be done through operations that stop the realization of an audit/study/energy analysis that allows the operation to be structured by targeting integrated solutions in energy efficiency, including the use and production of renewable energy for self-consumption.
In the case of lines of action in public buildings, the initial energy classification must be taken as the basis and must be sought for significant improvements (of at least one letter of energy rating), according to Royal Decree 235/2013 of 5 April, approving the basic procedure for the certification of the energy efficiency of buildings, by using one of the recognised software. Comprehensive renewals will be prioritized.
In cases of public lighting it will be necessary to analyze the previous energy consumption and promote significant savings. In addition, compliance with Article 61 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 on revenue generating operations shall be ensured.
OT6: Environment and urban heritage. The lines of action in the rehabilitation of historical, architectural and cultural heritage will be carried out in line with supramunitial or regional plans for the management of heritage, territorial development and tourism.
The provision of equipment for municipal facilities, in particular equipment related to the water and waste water sanitation network, will be ancillary and will be subject to its need for the implementation of the integrated urban development strategies in urban areas that have been identified. The simple endowment of equipment will not be bankable.
OT9: Social Inclusion. The acquisition of the social housing will be carried out by a public entity, by means of public competition and will be especially cared for the fulfillment of the rules of advertising and concurrency.
Housing acquired with ERDF co-financing must be allocated to the object for which they are acquired for a period of not less than 20 years. This period may be reduced to 5 years, provided that the ERDF aid originally intended for purchase is reallocated to the purchase of new homes for the same purpose.
Taking into account the fact that it will be the Programme Monitoring Committee (Article 110 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013) which examines and approves the methodology and the criteria for the selection of operations, it is indicated that the actions that will be co-financed in this Investment Priority will be implemented in a Local Action Plan (broader strategies to support the economic integration of target groups and individuals, which may be funded through the ESF). The Local Action Plan may coincide with the integrated urban development strategy in the areas of intervention that the strategies have identified.
Taking into account the fact that it will be the Programme Monitoring Committee (Article 110 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013) that examines and approves the methodology and criteria for the selection of operations, it is indicated, guidance, which the guiding principles to be applied for the selection of operations shall take into account the characteristics of the housing and the socio-economic profile of the beneficiary families.
These actions will need to be justified by a socio-economic diagnosis, which can be part of the integrated strategy, the target groups and a diagnosis of the existing and necessary infrastructures.
c) Modification of the implementation plans of the DUSI Strategies. As a general rule, amendments to the implementation plans of the selected DUSI Strategies shall not be permitted, except in exceptional cases where their need is clearly justified, provided that the conditions are not altered. which the aid was granted.
