• The information encoded in the SFC2014 prevails attachments for information only
• No double encoding between chapters, example: Measure fiche -> Financial information -> Additional national financing Additional national financing Chapter "Additional national financing" can be generated automatically
form the "Measure fiches"
• NRN programmes Structure to be simplified Guidance to be provided by ENRD

• SFC2014 will generate a PDF version of RDPs
• Technical details in the template
An IT version of the template will be provided in which all fields are identified and where the maximum number of characters for text fields is defined
<ID type=" " maxlength=" " input=" " Decision = " "> type: N=Number, D=Date, S=String, C=Checkbox, P=Percentage, B=Boolean maxlength = maximum number of characters in text field input: M=Manuel, S=Selection, G=Generated by system decision: N=Not part of the Decision
