4.Outlook

EMFF MAs provide relevant cumulative data to COM on operations selected incl. key characteristics of the beneficiary and the operation itself (Art.97(1)(a));

Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 1242/2014 and 1243/2014 provide details on the required data and database structure;

The database is often referred to as “Infosys”. 3

1. On Infosys

What is Infosys?

Infosys is a valuable resource, no other ESIF has access to such detail, nor a validation procedure;

FAME SU can validate the formal correctness but the MAs still have to insert meaningful data (operation implementation data);

Infosys must be seen as the starting point for focused research; it is not the end of the journey. 4

1. On Infosys

What is Infosys?

An overview of OP implementation progress;

An overview of progress made towards the goals of the of EMFF at MS, EU and where relevant, at sea-basin level;

Readily available quantitative information on EMFF progress for processing, reporting, briefings, presentations etc.;

Support for DG MARE and MAs information requirements for their daily tasks.

Content

It is a “prototype” and a proof of concept; Continuous incremental improvements are planned;

Geographic policy officers and MAs can request reports and updates from FAME (plausibility checks);

Next year the process should be faster and automated; Infosys and AIR should deliver the same aggregates;

A MS validation tool is under development.
