ANNEX II
Technical specifications for the transfer of computer files concerning the EAGF and the EAFRD expenditure
INTRODUCTION
These technical specifications apply in respect of the financial year 2016, which commenced on 16 October 2015.
1. Transfer Medium
The coordinating body of the Member State must transfer the computer files and the relating documentation to the
Commission through STATEL/eDAMIS. The Commission shall only support one installation of STATEL/eDAMIS
per Member State. The latest eDAMIS client and more information on the use of STATEL/eDAMIS shall be
downloaded from the CIRCABC web-site of the agricultural funds.
2. Computer file structure
2.1. The Member State must create a computer record for each individual component of the EAGF/EAFRD payments
and receipts. These components are the individual items of which the payment (receipt) to (from) the beneficiary
consists.
2.2. The records must have a flat file structure. If fields have more than one value, separate records containing all data
fields are required. Ensure that no double counting occurs. (1)
2.3. All information for the same category of payments or receipts must be contained in the same computer file.
Separate files relating to the same payments (e.g. for traders or inspections, or for basic and measure data) are not
allowed.
2.4. The computer files must have the following characteristics:
The first record in the file (header row) contains the file description. The field names comprise an ‘F’ followed by
the field number used in Annex I (the ‘X-table’). Only field names existing in that Annex are allowed.
The following records in the file are data (data rows), in the order indicated by the first record describing the file
structure.
The fields are separated by a semicolon (‘;’). The header row and data rows shall all contain the same number of
semicolons. In the data rows, empty fields appear as a double semicolon (‘;;’) within the record, or as a single
semicolon (‘;’) at the end of the record.
Records vary in length. Each record ends with a code ‘CR LF’ or ‘Carriage Return — Line Feed’ (in hexadecimal:
‘0D 0A’). The header row never ends on a ‘;’. Data rows only end on a ‘;’ if the last field is empty.
The file is in ASCII coding according to the following table. Other codes (such as EBCDIC, TAR, ZIP, etc.) are not
accepted:
code Member State
ISO 8859-1 BE, DK, DE, ES, FR, IE, IT, LU, NL, AT, PT, FI, SE and GB
ISO 8859-2 CZ, HR, HU, PL, RO, SI and SK
ISO 8859-3 MT
ISO 8859-5 BG
ISO 8859-7 GR and CY
ISO 8859-13 EE, LV and LT
(1) Note: You should first read the preliminary remark concerning ‘quantities’ in Chapter 5 of Annex III.L 278/20 EN Official Journal of the European Union 14.10.2016
Numeric fields:
Decimal separator:‘.’
The symbol (‘+’ or ‘-’) appears on the far left, followed immediately by the figures. For positive numbers, the ‘+’ sign
is optional.
Fixed number of decimals (the details are set out in Annex III).
No spaces between digits. No spaces or other signs between thousands.
Date field: ‘YYYYMMDD’ (year in four digits, month in two digits, day in two digits).
Budget code (field F109) required format without spaces: ‘999999999999999’ (where ‘9’ stands for any figure
between 0 and 9).
Quotation marks (‘ ’) are not allowed at the beginning or at the end of the records. The semicolon field separator ‘;’
must not be used in data in text format.
All fields: no spaces at the beginning or end of a field.
Files satisfying these rules shall follow the following structure (example for financial year 2014):
F100;F101;F106;F107;F108;F109

etc.
(other data rows with the fields in the same order).
2.5. Data files with the characteristics as described under point 2.4 shall be sent with consignment type ‘X-TABLE-DATA’
(see ‘eDAMIS client’).
2.6. The computer program for checking the format of computer files before sending them to the Commission
(‘WinCheckCsv’) is included in the data transfer program (‘eDAMIS client’). The paying agencies are invited to
download the check program from CIRCABC separately for offline validation purposes.
3. Annual declaration
3.1. The coordinating body of the Member State must send either one annual declaration file for all paying agencies or
separate annual declaration files for each paying agency. An annual declaration file shall contain the total amounts
by paying agency together with the budget and currency codes, for both the EAGF and the EAFRD measures
(Article 29(b) and (c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014).
3.2. The files shall have the characteristics as described under point 2.4. Each line shall contain the following fields (in
this order):
(a) F100: paying agency code
(b) F109: budget code
(c) F106: amount expressed in the currency code F107
(d) F107: currency code
3.3. Files satisfying the rules shall follow the following structure (example for financial year 2014):
F100;F109;F106;F107

3.4. Annual declaration files shall be sent through STATEL/eDAMIS with consignment type ‘ANNUAL-DECLARATION’.
4. Explanation of Differences
4.1. In the case of differences between the annual declaration and monthly or quarterly declaration or X-table data the
coordinating body of the Member State shall send either one ‘difference-explanation’ file for all paying agencies or
separate ‘difference-explanation’ files for each paying agency. Such file(s) shall explain, through standard codes, the
difference by budget code between the annual declaration and monthly declarations (T104); the difference by
budget code and/or focus area between annual declaration and quarterly declarations (SFC2014 — EAFRD
programming period 2014-2020) or between annual declaration and the sum of the records (Σ F106) of the
X-table data.
4.2. The files shall have the characteristics as described under point 2.4. Each line shall contain the following fields and
in following order):
(a) F100: paying agency code
(b) F109: budget code
(c) Exco: explanation-reconciliation code
(d) F106: amount of the explained difference in euros
4.3 The explanation-reconciliation code must be expressed by a code corresponding to the underneath list. For EAGF
related differences an explanation code can only be provided once per budget code (F109). For EAFRD related
differences, this single declaration should be read in light of the full explanation code including the 2 additional
digits for the focus area (as defined hereafter).
For EAFRD related differences the explanation code (as described in underneath list — codes B01 to B99) shall be
extended with 2 additional digits comprising the respective Union priority and focus area as described in Article 5
of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (e.g: 4c for differences relating
to the focus area ‘preventing soil erosion and improving soil management’) (3). For focus areas not explicitly
described in Article 5 of that Regulation; the 2 additional digits to use shall be ‘yy’. Differences of expenditure not
related to focus areas shall be identified by adding ‘zz’.

EXPLANATION’.
5. Documentation (code list)
5.1. In case where codes are used for fields, for which Annex III does not enforce standard codes, the coordinating body
of the Member State must transfer a code list for each paying agency through STATEL/eDAMIS in order to explain
all those used codes.
5.2. This code list can have the look and feel of an ordinary letter. The identity of the paying agency and the name or
administrative unit of the addressee shall be clearly marked.

6. Data Transfer
The coordinating body must send the computer files completely and only once.
If the coordinating body notices that false data were transmitted or a problem occurred with the data transfer, the
Commission has to be informed immediately. All files, which contain incorrect information, are to be indicated.
Therefore, the Commission is to be asked to delete those files. Thereafter, in order to avoid an overlapping of
computer records or data files, the coordinating body must send the corrected computer files to replace entirely the
previous incorrect information.L 278/26 EN Official Journal of the European Union 14.10.2016
