ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES

Evaluation of Inception ReportNew EC administrative forms (Timesheet and Financial statement)AmendmentProgress ReportNext DeliverablesPartner costs September 2015Next meeting


Evaluation of Inception Report

VERY POSITIVE EVALUATION!!!!

Two small comments:

1. Please note that the duration set for your Partnership Agreement is not compliant with the LIFE template (Rev.2014). The beneficiaries' commitment to the project is in effect foreseen to end once they receive the payment of the final balance, while it should end five years after the project end date. Please provide with your Progress Report an Addendum to your Agreement, duly dated and signed, that extends its duration accordingly.

2. Please also be advised that, according to Article 12.1 of the Common Provisions, the due date of your Final Report should be set three months after the project end date. It is therefore postponed to 31 December 2016 instead of 30 September 2016, as foreseen in your Grant Agreement.


New EC Administartive documents

From September 2015: New Timesheet

New excel Financial statement (summary of cost justification)
