Dear Prof. Iarocci, Dr. Guaraldo,

With reference to the above letter this is to inform you that the Commission agrees to your request to modify the contract as follows:1. Modification of the frequency of submission of the audit certificates2. Modification of the payment modalities3. Addition of one special clause 4. Modification of Annex I

All other provisions of the contract and its annexes remain unchanged.This amendment takes effect as of 01/02/2005.

Your sincerely,

Robert –Jan SMITSDirector f.f.

2. Modification of the payment modalities

Article 8. 2(d) of the contract is modified as follows:

“Where less than 70% of a pre-financing has been used at the end of a reporting period, and notwithstanding the approval by the Commission of the related reports, subsequent intermediate pre-financing may be paid only on the basis of a complementary periodic management report referred to inArticle II.7.2 b that shall be submitted to the Commission once the abovementioned spending rate has been achieved.”

On the basis of the Article II.7.2 b of the contract, the periodic management report is including:

i) a justification of the resources deployed by each contractor, linking them to activities implemented and justifying their necessity;

ii) the Form C Financial statement set out in Annex VI, provided by each contractor for that period;

iii) a summary financial report consolidating the claimed costs of all the contractors in an aggregate form, based on the information provided in Form C.

Complementary periodic financial reportComplementary periodic financial report

From the First Annual Report:

- Community's pre-financing sent to the coordinator, corresponding to the first reporting period and the first six months of the subsequent reporting period: 6.400.000,00 €

- Threshold to receive the second pre-financing (Article 8.2 (d) modified): 70 % * (6.400.000,00 €) = 4.480.000,00 €

According to Article 8.2(d) of the Contract:

“Any payment at the end of the reporting period accompanied by an AUDIT CERTIFICATE shall be considered as FINAL.TOTAL PRE-FINANCING MAY NOT EXCEED 80% OF THE COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION or, where final payments ….have been effected, of the difference between the Community financial contribution and those final payments”.

“GOLDEN RULE”

Distribution of the second preDistribution of the second pre--financingfinancingPAYMENT TO THE COORDINATOR

According to the contract, ART. 8-PAYMENT MODALITIES, the Community financial contribution to the project shall be paid to the Coordinator on behalf of the contractors in accordance with the following provisions (Article 8.2 (b)):

- if the EC requested contribution (total accepted expenditures) for the firstreporting period is LESS than the first pre-financing (first 16 months in our case) the Commission SHALL DEDUCT THE DIFFERENCE from the second pre-financing to the Consortium;

- if the EC requested contribution for the first reporting period (first 16 months in our case) is MORE than the first pre-financing, the Commission SHALLADD THE DIFFERENCE, as a COMPLEMENTARY PAYMENT, at the time ofthe payment of the second pre-financing to the Consortium.

All this was illustrated in detail to the 20 project coordinators of I3 and CA by the Head of Financial Department, Bertrand Michaud, in a “Working Seminar on the management and implementation of I3 an CA contracts”, held in Bruxelles on 12 November 2004.

Bertrand Michaud rule for pedestrianBertrand Michaud rule for pedestrian

If the Consortium has spent MORE than the received pre-financing, it will

receive a “BONUS”, equal to the absolute value of the negative difference,

TO BE ADDED to the request for the next 18 months.

Viceversa, if the Consortium has spent LESS than the sum received as pre-

financing, the Consortium will be penalized by SUBTRACTING the amount

NOT spent from the next payment.

0,8 x (17.400.000,00 - 902.610,68) = 13.197.911,46 € ≥ (6.400.000,00 + 6.303.184,24 - 902.610,68) = 11.800.573,56 € TRUE

∆1 = 13.197.911,46 - 11.800.573,56= 1.397.337,90 € > 0

In the case that the test is negative (FALSE), the quantity ∆ is subtracted from the 2nd pre-financing.

Pre-financing for the 2nd period: 6.303.184,24 € (to be paid by the EC to the co-ordinator)

At this stage, the total amount of pre-financing already provided to the consortium is:

6.400.000,00 + 6.303.184,24 = 12.703.184,24€ of which 902.610,68 € is re-qualified as payment and 11.800.573,56 € remains as

Objectives of HadronPhysics I3Objectives of HadronPhysics I3

The main objective of this Integrate Infrastructure Initiative (I3) is to strengthen the European Research Area by promoting access to the leading Hadron Physics RIs in Europe and by improving their performances.

This will be achieved by developing new methods and experimental tools in the JRAs and by Networking Activities, unifying, for the first time, three previously separated communities of researchers: communities who are using leptons, hadrons and high energy heavy ion beams, respectively, for studying hadrons and their properties.

Integration of activitiesIntegration of activities

Fig. 1 Intercorrelations between HadronPhysics I3 activities

Long term goals: reasons to apply to FP7

Most of the Joint Research Activities are embedded in multi-annual research projects. The hardware and software technologies developed in this I3 represent necessary stages for the next generation of experiments in hadron physics with high luminosity accelerators. In many cases, the opened lines of research are not exhausted, sometimes just started. New developments are continuously rising and needed since relevant research infrastructures like FAIR at Darmstadt and DAFNE2 at Frascati are in advanced phase of design. They will strong characterize the hadron physics field in Europe in next 15 years.

Networking activities follow the same trend. They are related to the organization of experimental and theoretical collaborative work concerning both on going activities and planned experiments at future facilities.

Access to the major Research Infrastructures in Europe has an increased importance due to the improved performance of the accelerators and of the computing centers. This activity has a long term future, independently on the major complexes in construction phase.

• From all this it comes out a natural request of the scientific

community to apply for a new I3 in hadron physics within the

Seventh Framework Programme of EU.

• A favorable matching between the “old” and the “new”

financing appears possible.
