A Union financial contribution is awarded to France for the implementation of the official programme for the control of organisms harmful to plants and plant products in the French overseas departments for 2012, as specified in Part A of the Annex.
That financial contribution shall be limited to a maximum of 60 % of the total eligible expenditure, as specified in Part B of the Annex, with a maximum of EUR 180 000 (VAT excluded).
1. An advance of EUR 100 000 shall be paid within 60 days after receipt of a request for payment by France.
2. The balance of the Union financial contribution shall be paid provided that a final implementation report on the programme is submitted to the Commission in electronic form by 15 March 2013 at the latest, and after that report has been approved by the Commission.
That report shall contain at least:
(a)
a concise technical evaluation of the entire programme, including the degree of achievement of physical and qualitative objectives. That evaluation shall link the objectives laid down in the initial programme presented by France with the achieved results, expressed in terms of expected deliverables and steps of completion of the work. It shall explain the progress accomplished, and assess the immediate phytosanitary and economic impact of the achieved measures; and
(b)
a financial cost statement setting out the planned and actual expenditure broken down by sub-programme and by measure. This statement shall be accompanied by proof or evidence of payment of the expenditure through appropriate documentation such as invoices or receipts.
3. With respect to the indicative budget breakdown specified in Part B of the Annex, France may adjust the financing between different measures in the same sub-programme within a limit of 15 % of the Union financial contribution to this sub-programme, provided that the total amount of eligible costs scheduled in the programme is not exceeded and that the main objectives of the programme are not thereby compromised.
It shall inform the Commission of any adjustments made.
