- Delivery of signed documents (Interim report, addendums, etc)
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the original signed Annex 7 of the financial part of the Interim report shall be submitted latest with the next Interim report (payment for next Interim report will not be paid before receiving the originals). Same rule applies for the signed Interim report (print from PROMAS) and Payment request. All scanned copies of the signed documents have to be submitted to the Managing Authority in order to approve the Interim report.
If you are having difficulties getting signatures to the documents to be provided to the Managing Authority, please be in contact with your project contact person, or the person checking your report in the Managing Authority. Instructions will be given on a case by case basis.
- Eligibility of costs related to cancelled events/meetings
COVID-19 has had effects on planned project meetings and events. The planned and cancelled events are eligible when recovery from the event/meeting -service provider is not possible. When reporting the costs related to the cancelled events, there should be documentation attached, which specifies that the event/meeting costs could not be reimbursed as a whole/partially by the service provider.
