(****) Including research for the benefit of specific groups (in particular SMEs).
Upper funding limits
Slide 10 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Eligible Costs
Eligible • Actual/average personnel costs• Incurred during duration of project• In accordance with the usual accounting and management
principles of beneficiary• Recorded in the accounts of beneficiary• Used for the sole purpose of achieving the objectives of the
project• Indicated in the estimated overall budget annexed to the
GA
Non-eligible (identifiable indirect taxes including VAT…)
Slide 11 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Direct costs
• No cost models • All beneficiaries report all their real direct
costs• Those in AC in FP6 can claim their permanent
personnel costs
Slide 12 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Indirect Costs
1) Real indirect costs / Simplified method2) Standard flat rate of 20% of direct costs3) Special transitional flat rate of 60% of direct costs for
Non-profit Public Bodies, Secondary and Higher Education establishments, Research Organisations and SME unable to identify real indirect costs for funding schemes with RTD until 31/01/2009
* For CSA limit of 7% of direct costs
Calculation = Flat rate * Direct costs - (subcontracting +
resources from 3rd parties not used on the premises of the beneficiary)
Slide 13 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Average personnel costs
Average personnel costs accepted if :
Consistent with the management principles and accounting practices of beneficiary
Identified according to a methodology approved by the Commission
They do not significantly differ from actual personnel costs
Slide 14 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Certificate on financial statements
•Mandatory for a beneficiary when its cumulative EC contribution exceeds 375,000€ •When the EC contribution is less than 375.000€, no CFS not even at the end of the project •For projects of 2 years or less, no intermediate CFS. Obligation of submission only at the end if contribution ≥ 375.000€ and covering all eligible costs•If a certification on the methodology is provided, no intermediate CFS, only at the end if contribution ≥ 375.000€ and covering all eligible costs
Slide 15 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Payment modalities
Pre-financing (45 days after entry into force of GA=date of signature by EC)
Interim payments based on financial statements (EC contribution= amounts justified & accepted * funding rate)
Final payment
Slide 16 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Prefinancing
• Article 6 of GA: 45 days delay after entry into force of GA
• As indication, 160% of estimated average EU funding per reporting period (=max EC contribution/n° of periods)
• 5% of maximum EC contribution (Art. 5.1 GA) is transferred from the prefinancing to Guarantee Fund
• Coordinator is deemed to have received full prefinancing
Slide 17 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Interim payments
• Based on submission of periodic reports within 60 days after the end of each reporting period including:
1. Overview of the progress of work2. Report on the use of the resources3. Form C for each beneficiary (financial statement)4. Summary Financial Report consolidating claimed EC contribution of all
beneficiaries5. Certification of costs if needed (cumulative EC contribution ≥ 375,000€)
• Community financial contribution corresponding to the amount accepted for each reporting period
• Prefinancing+Interim payments≤ 90% of max. EC contribution
• EC has 105 days after reception of reports to evaluate and execute the payment: EC may approve, suspend the time limit, reject (possible termination of the project) or suspend the payment
Slide 18 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Final payment
• Final reports to be submitted by coordinator 60 days after end of project:
1. Publishable summary report, conclusions and socioeconomic impact
2. Report on wider societal implications and a plan on use and dissemination of foreground
3. Forms C for each participant + Summary Financial Report4. Report on the distribution of the EC contribution 30 days
after receipt of final payment• Final amount recovers 10%retention+5% to GF (if
possible)• Final total Community contribution ≤ Total eligible
costs + Receipts
Slide 19 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Guarantee Fund
• No financial but technical collective liability• Establishment of a participant’s Guarantee Fund to cover risks
• Amount of 5% of EC contribution• GF covers operations with interests generated• If interests are not sufficient, EC keeps 1% of EC contribution at final payment not from public bodies, legal entities guaranteed by a ME or Ac or secondary or higher education establishments
Slide 20 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
ExampleProject duration: 3 yearsReporting periods:
P1: Months 1-12 P2: Months 13-24 P3: Months 25-36
Maximum EC contribution: 3,000.000 €Average EU funding per period: 1,000.000 €Prefinancing+Interim payments≤ 90% of EC contribution
= 2,700.000€• Pre-financing (160%) → 1.6 Mio€ - 150,000€ to GF = 1,450.000€• 1st Interim payment 1Mio€ accepted, payment → 1,000.000€• 2nd Interim payment 1Mio€ accepted but paid already
2,600.000€ → Retention 10%=>2,700.000€ → 100,0000€
• Final payment really paid 2,550.000€:150,000+300,000+2,550.000 = 3,000.000€
Slide 21 PERFORMANCE 2nd General Assembly, Aix Les Bains, 17 January 2008
Amendments
• Coordinator requests amendments on behalf of the consortium
• Coordinator can accept an amendment proposed by the Commission
• For addition/withdrawal of partner: tacit approval after 45 days
