The main features of the planned OP modification and preparation for EDIOP (2014-20) 1. The OP modification was submitted to the European Commission the 15th of October 2013 (through the official SFC system). 2. Instead of public cost based settlement the total cost based settlement would be used with the European Commission. 3. The own funds of the private sector can be eligible - the co- financing rate (85 percent) applies to the private and public expenditures jointly. 4. The switch would be advantageous for those priorities which contain significant amount of private funds: 1st priority axis which supports R+D and innovation, the 2nd that enhances the development of enterprises and the 3rd developing business environment. 5. The switch would be ex post facto : if due to the obtained private funds, the eligible cost increases in the settlement the gained amounts are transferred retroactively from the European Commission 32
