(6) Taking into account the objective of expanding the possibilities for Member States to seek reimbursement from the Commission on the basis of standard scales of unit costs or lump sums, the Commission has defined unit costs and amounts for each Member State on the basis of data published by Eurostat and as reported by national Public Employment Services for operations in the area of trainnig.

VAT) × (0,5 + 0,5 × Sr/So) Sr is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1567446) of the last monthly publication at the date of the adjustement So is the index of employed persons INSEE (identifier 1567446) of the monthly publication at the date of submission of the tender for the first adjustment; then, for the following adjustements, it refers to the monthly publication of the anniversary date of the submission of the tender.’ANNEX II ‘ANNEX III Conditions for reimbursement of expenditure on the basis of standard scales of unit costs to the Czech Republic 1.

For courses lasting at least one full academic year, these amounts can be reimbursed to the Member State on the following basis: 50 % for the first proof of attendance during the academic year (normally at the beginning of the academic year, in accordance with national rules and practices), 30 % for the second proof of attendance and 20 % for the third and final proof of attendance. For those Member States whose national systems provide for this information to be collected only twice per year, or for courses lasting less than one full academic year, it will be 50 % for the first proof of attendance and 50 % for the second and final proof of attendance. (6) The training courses can be primarily either institutional or workplace-based, but must be delivered at least partly in an institutional setting. (7) A training course will be considered as ‘successfully completed’ when there is a document demonstrating completion in accordance with national rules or practices. For example, this could be a certificate issued by the training provider or an equivalent document which is acceptable under national rules or practices. The condition of successfully completing a training course shall not be regarded as being met where a participant successfully only completes some of the modules within a training course. (8) Employment-related counselling services can be provided in a one-on-one situation or as part of a group.
