Other Member State Document

Snapshot of data before send X X X

1 This document type is normally integral, but since it can be created and send when the Major Project resides at MS or

Commission level, the integral feature will be implemented programmatically.

Sending a non-integral Document

1. To send a non-integral document that is not yet sent: once the document and attachment(s) have been uploaded select the document row in the list (1) and click on the EDIT button (2):

2. Click on Update & Send to send the document to the Commission.

REMARK

Non-integral documents (ie. 'Other Member State Document') can be sent at any time independently of the status of the Major Project Submission.

The 'Other Member State Document' type demands a manual submission (they are NOT sent automatically within the Programme). The other document types, integral documents, are automatically sent - together with the encoded data – when the Programme is submitted to the EC.
