A unique system for a unitary programming of 2007-2013 cohesion policy

and a unique data exchange protocol (finalised after confrontation with

local administrations), which identifies data formats and meaning and

regulates the dispatch of data to the National Monitoring System in order

to standardise data structure, rules, procedures and methods.

In previous progamming periods:

- diverse monitoring systems

- diverse information sets for each monitoring system

- diverse project classifications

- diverse wordings and meaning of information

Common set of information transferred unambiguously to a unitary national

system

Common classifications adopted at the national level (CUP)

Simplified procedures: data can be tranferred at any time, with bimonthly

consolidation

Documentation for a common language and higher quality/ coherence:

glossary, application protocol, quality controls on data document, monitoring

vademecum

199 variables associated to projects

30 validation controls of coherence that may determine project rejection

14 validation controls of coherence that may determine warnings
