Translation of "DOCUP " (English → French) :

Each CIP, which will take the form of a single programming document (DOCUP), will comprise a detailed description of the following components: the current situation with regard to discrimination and inequality in the labour market, an ex ante assessment of the impact expected on the socio-economic situation at local or sectoral level, an implementation strategy based on the selected priorities (with specific action for asylum seekers) and information activities, complementarity between this strategy and the national action plan, local employment pacts and other Community programmes, actions and methods conducive to equal opportunities fo ...[+++]r men and women, a summary of the lessons learnt from the ADAPT and EMPLOYMENT initiatives, arrangements for technical assistance required to implement the CIP, an indicative financing plan showing the envisaged ESF contribution and the expected public and private support, consultation process for all the partners in decision making, arrangements for monitoring, control and evaluation of the implementation of EQUAL (calls for proposals, contracts awarded to the final beneficiaries, integration in policies or mainstreaming, composition of the Monitoring Committee, collection of data and indicators necessary for permanent assessment).

This time limit, which indeed is identical to the one we granted for INTERREG and for the Objective 2 DOCUPs, should normally be adequate, I feel, for drawing up a programme, which does not mean that the projects cannot be defined at a later stage.

Finally, I call for the DOCUP development plans to give unequivocal consideration to the forestry sector and the timber industry.

DOCUP, which concerns ESF assistance in France under Objective 3, proposes to attain the aims of this Objective through five priority groups of measures: - measures promoting the integration of unemployed people exposed to long-term unemployment; - measures promoting the occupational integration of young job- seekers; - measures promoting the integration of people at risk of exclusion from the labour market; - measures promoting equal opportunities for men and women on the labour market; - technical assistance and pilot projects of specific interest.

The latter is a horizontal measure necessary for the implementation of the DOCUP.

By agreement, the French authorities and the Commission adopted the "Single Programming Document (DOCUP)" formula for the Commission's response to the proposals contained in the Plan and the Operational Programme, which were presented separately.
