The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.

In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 7, these commitments do not include the amounts relating to the aid schemes not yet approved by the Commission.
