Recommendation to COM to clearly state in the legal and guiding documents, such as Ex-ante, NA Guide, DA - the identity, role and autonomy of the NA in case part of a bigger structure. The latter´s HOSTING role should be framed in such a way that the EU Programmes the NA is managing are clearly visible and the autonomy of the NA in performing the tasks assigned to it via European Work Plan and Rules are not hampered and/or deluted for the sake of the hosting organisation´s own political/development aspirations.

Within the new programme we will have some new tasks. In addition, we have two programmes. How to structure the NA, make a new division of tasks and link the two programmes in a good way. Recommendation to the network: informal sessions for those who are interested to exchange ideas.

Recommendation to COM: recognise the extra work the Youth sector has in order to support Management Fee division discussions between sectors Youth and E&T.

# data[].attributes.body
Recommendation towards COMM: we need to know that management fee for 2021 will be at least the same for 2020, so at least staff contracts can be continued and as an input for discussions with NAU.

The suggestion is to have this kind of meeting in the beginning of the last year of the program. For example if the meetings happened in the beginning of the 2020, the pressure of implementing new program, finishing the previous, learning curve, etc, would have been easier to handle. In this situation it will be very challenging to prepare and implement all of the things for the new program. At this point it is needed to take care not to burn out.

In some countries the procedure from legal basis to national funding is very long and there is a risk in a gap in financing for the NAs. Some official information saying that the programme will start in 2021 in the legal basis will comfort the NAUs in planning the cofinancing at the national level.

to give us informal/drafted documents as soon as possible in order for to be prepared as much as we can
- transition solution - if a bigger delay of legal base is expected and knowing NA budget will come later prolongation of DA can be implemented in order that NA can continue their work (paying staff one example, organization of events, preparing info materials...)

This might be a challenge. E+Link when it was functional already allows us to extract big data. We fear that the new system – tested not, might be to as that much useful.
Using 2 systems for some time might be also a challenge - we will be extracting data from E+Link ant the new system. They have to be compatible and data from 2 systems: comparable.
Continuity is also very important - we have to have access to current data in the 2 systems.

Lessons from the past – too many changes in the same time is too much

Longer transition due to prolongation of projects of 2019 and 2020 in the current programme due to pandemic – there is also the risk that many projects will no longer take place
Continuity of NA staff – some NAs will face internal changes, will need to hire new staff

Costs of running the Agency have to be eligible from 1 st of January 2021
