EuropeAidLegal basis and where to find EU rules
• 10th EDF rules apply for projects financed on 10th EDF and on 9th EDF if a jumbo rider was signed
• STABEX and 8th EDF projects still ruled by 8th EDF rules
• Projects financed on (thematic) budget lines are ruled by BUDGET rules

MANAGEMENT MODES
By WHO can a project or a programme
be implemented ?
![Page 6: EuropeAid EU financial & contractual Procedures (10th EDF & budget) How to implement EU funding (with others) … October 2010 – Delegation KENYA - FVDE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/55152798550346a80c8b6558/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
EuropeAidManagement modes
• Centralised management
• Delegated cooperation
1) indirect centralised management
2) Joint management
3) Decentralised management
4) (Shared management)
![Page 7: EuropeAid EU financial & contractual Procedures (10th EDF & budget) How to implement EU funding (with others) … October 2010 – Delegation KENYA - FVDE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/55152798550346a80c8b6558/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
EuropeAidCentralised management
DIRECT
Implementation done by the services of the EU (at HQ or in delegation)
EU procurement & grant procedures apply (we launch tenders, sign contracts, make payments, etc...)
Examples: Somalia operations, Audit & Evaluation contracts,
framework contracts, Budget support, …

EuropeAidDelegated cooperation : centralised
indirect
There is a delegation of implementation tasks by the Commission
Implementation done (1) by bodies set up by the Communities or other specialsed Community bodies such as EIB or EIF, (2) national or international public sector bodies or bodies governed by private law with public service mission providing adequate financial guarantees and complying for with provisions IR
Procedures of the delegated body can apply or EU procedures

EuropeAidDelegated cooperation : centralised indirect
An ex-ante institutional assessment needs to be carried out of 6 pillars
A delegation agreement is signed
![Page 10: EuropeAid EU financial & contractual Procedures (10th EDF & budget) How to implement EU funding (with others) … October 2010 – Delegation KENYA - FVDE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/55152798550346a80c8b6558/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EuropeAidDelegated cooperation : joint management
There is a delegation of implementation tasks by EU
Implementation done by an international organisation (includes EIB) The IO concerned can apply its accounting, audit, internal
control and procurement procedures which offers guarantees equivalent to the international accepted standards
A contribution agreements is signed (similar to a grant contract
but more flexible)

EuropeAidDelegated cooperation : decentralised
There is a delegation of implementation tasks by the Commission to third countries (beneficiary countries)
Implementation done by beneficiary country with ex-ante control by the EU (partial or substantial decentralisation) or ex-post control (total decentralisation)
Other Procedures than EU can apply (case by case, after assessment)
Financing agreement to be signed
Ex-ante control could be delegated to another body

EuropeAidDelegated cooperation
NOTE
The other way around is also an option :
EU to receive funds from other donors through tranfer agreement (assigned revenues)
![Page 15: EuropeAid EU financial & contractual Procedures (10th EDF & budget) How to implement EU funding (with others) … October 2010 – Delegation KENYA - FVDE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/55152798550346a80c8b6558/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
EuropeAidEU Implementation modalities
• Delegated cooperation with MS bodies, international organisations or benef. country (if partial decentralisation through programme estimates)
• Budget support
• Procurement contracts (services, supplies & works)
• Award of grant contracts
• Other

EuropeAidWorking with EIB ? HOW ?
If several donors
First question is who will be responsbile for managing the “common pot” (donor, beneficiary state, ...)
Type of funds (EU : non reimbursable aid (grants), other donors: very often loans), blending the two makes loan conditions cheaper
Contractual arrangements to be made, depending on who is managing common pot
Determine level of control (ex-ante or ex-post) donors want to exercise
![Page 17: EuropeAid EU financial & contractual Procedures (10th EDF & budget) How to implement EU funding (with others) … October 2010 – Delegation KENYA - FVDE.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/55152798550346a80c8b6558/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
EuropeAid
Working with EIB, if EIB manages common pot, HOW ?
Preferred option at this stage would be joint management with a contribution agreement if type of project/intervention allows or ad-hoc agreement (see
Infrastructure Trust Fund)
Under Neighbourhood Instrument as framework agreement is under negotiation to cover specialised interventions such as risk capital, loan guarantees (interest rate subsidies), ...
Under revised Financial Regulation (2012) a new more flexible implementation mechanism will be introduced for financial intermediairies

EuropeAidImplementation : procurement
•Alternative procedure applicable to works,
supplies & services contracts = negotiated
procedure but only in well defined cases, a
prior approval is needed from authorising
officer concerned (HQ or HoD)
See note on derogations and prior approvals:
http://www.cc.cec/dgintranet/europeaid/contracts_finances/fin_and_cont_rules/other_issues/index_en.htm

EuropeAidImplementation : procurement
One important possibility to do a
negotiated procedure for
service contracts is :
“where the services are entrusted to
a public sector bodies or to non-
profit organisations or associations
ans relate to activities of an
institutional nature or designed to
provide assistance to people in the
social field”
A prior call for interest could be
considered...

EuropeAidImplementation : grants
•What is a grant ? Co-financing and non profit are requirements !
•How to award a grant ?
Open or restricted call for proposal
In well defined cases a direct award is possible, prior appoval is needed by authorising officer concerned (HQ or HoD)
See note on derogations and prior approvals:

EuropeAidImplementation : grants
One important possibility to do a
direct award for grants is:
“Actions with specifi
characteristics that require a
particular typ of body on account
of its technical competence, its
high degree of specialisation or
its administrative powers ... “
A prior informal call for
expression could be
considered...
