To ensure a smooth switchover from the old to the new scheme, transitional measures should be adopted, in particular in the case of processors signing contracts with individual producers during the 2001/02 marketing year, as well as for the final date for signing contracts for tomatoes and for applying the integrated system for management of areas.

In order to ensure that the aid scheme is properly applied, producer organisations and processors must forward the necessary information and keep up-to-date suitable documentation and should, in particular, specify the areas under tomatoes, peaches and pears, on the basis of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1593/2000 (2), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2721/2000 (4), for the purposes of all inspections and controls deemed necessary.

In compliance with the minimum standards adopted by the Commission and having due regard to the risks associated with the management environment and the nature of the operations financed, the Chief Authorising Officer shall put in place the organisational structure and the internal management and control systems and procedures suited to the performance of his duties, including where appropriate ex post checks.

Without prejudice to checks carried out by beneficiary countries, the Commission and the Court of Auditors may, through their own staff or duly authorised representatives, carry out on-the-spot technical or financial audits, including sample checks and final audits on the operations financed by the EDF and on management and control systems at a minimum of one working day's notice.

It may be desirable for the beneficiary State, in conformity with its specific constitutional, institutional, legal or financial context, to associate the regional or local authorities with the conclusion and the application of the implementation arrangements, the beneficiary State remaining in all cases responsible for the implementation of the assistance and for the management and control of the operations supported by Community financing.

with effect from 1 January 2003 a system of ecopoints similar to that laid down by Article 11 of Protocol 9 to the 1994 Act of Accession of Austria to the European Union will apply until 31 December 2003. The method of calculation and the detailed rules and procedures for the management and control of the ecopoints will be agreed in good time by means of an exchange of letters between the Contracting Parties and will be in line with the provisions of Articles 11 and 14 of the abovementioned Protocol 9.

To that end, without prejudice to the powers of the Court of Auditors or the checks carried out by the Member States in accordance with national laws, regulations and administrative provisions, Commission officials or servants may, in accordance with arrangements agreed with the Member States in the framework of the cooperation described in paragraph (l)(f), carry out on-the-spot checks, including sample checks, on the operations financed by the Fund and on management and control systems with a minimum of one working day's notice.

Whereas a suitable and effective management and control system should be established for the implementation of the arrangements;

to establish as from 1 January 2000 and in any event not later than 1 January 2002, management and control systems which ensure:

The management and control systems of managing and paying authorities and intermediate bodies shall, subject to proportionality in relation to the volume of assistance administered, provide for:

Management and control systems of beneficiary countries are to provide a sufficient audit trail in order to allow, in particular, for:

the development and establishment of systems for the management and control of network traffic and user information with a view to optimizing use of the infrastructures;

Article 3 The management and control systems of managing and paying authorities, intermediate bodies and implementing bodies shall, subject to proportionality in relation to the volume of assistance administered, provide for:

The Commission is to determine the size of a correction taking into account the nature of the irregularity and the extent of any failures in the management and control systems.

Declarations shall be based on an examination of the management and control systems, of the findings of checks already carried out and, when necessary, of a further sample check of transactions.

Classification of elements of management and control systems for the purpose of applying flat rates of financial corrections for system deficiencies or individual breaches

"certifying Body" means the body which is operationally independent of the Sapard agency and establishes the attestation of the accounts, reports on the management and control systems and verifies the co-financing elements;

Corrections are only imposed for deficiencies in ancillary elements of management and control systems where no deficiencies have been identified in key elements.

If, however, any parts of the integrated system are operational before the dates laid down in paragraph 1, the Member States shall use them for their management and checking activities.

Whereas, the various components of the integrated system will potentially result in more effective administration and control in the case of Community schemes not covered by this Regulation;

The Commission shall, when deciding the amount of a correction, take account of the type of irregularity or change and the extent of the potential financial impact of any shortcomings in the management or control systems.

The trans-European air traffic management network shall comprise the airspace reserved for general aviation, airways, air navigation aids, the traffic planning and management systems and the air traffic control system (control centres, surveillance and communications facilities) that are necessary for safe and efficient aviation in European airspace.

in the case of a flat rate, it shall assess the importance of the infringement of rules and the extent and financial implications of any shortcomings in the management and control system that have led to the irregularity established.

Whereas each transmission system must be subject to central management and control in order to ensure the security, reliability and efficiency of the system in the interests of producers and their customers;

Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 builds upon the basis of that integrated system and submits to it the management and control both of the direct payment schemes set up by it and the adherence to the cross-compliance obligations.

A systemic irregularity is a recurrent error due to serious failings in management and control systems designed to ensure correct accounting and compliance with the rules and regulations in force.

If there are serious failings in the management or control systems which could lead to systemic irregularities, in particular failures to respect the applicable rules and regulations, financial corrections should always be made.

Management and control systems for the Fund consist of various elements or functions of greater or lesser importance for ensuring the legality, regularity and eligibility of expenditure declared for co-financing.
