Could the time-plan of the project be changes?
Change of activity plan with no duration implications is a minor change that should be notified to the JTS 10 days within the implementation of the change. Extension or early closing of the Grant Contract is a major modification and require a formal Addendum .
The JMA/JTS does not always accept minor changes. What to do?
The JTS will provide support on the eligibility of minor changes. It is strongly recommended to consult with the JTS and take their comments before submitting your notification officially
Can the project make expenses before signing a contract with auditor?
Yes, but only after the implementation of the project begins.
Should the projects declare any interest earned?
Any interest or equivalent benefits accruing from pre-financing shall be mentioned in the interim and final reports, assigned to the project and deducted from the payment of the balance of the amounts due to the Beneficiary.
Can the project report be submitted before six month period?
Yes, if it is justified (e.g for submitting request for payment).
Can in costs of personnel vacation and illness be included?
Yes, if it is foreseen in national legislation. Such costs must comply with person workload within the project and actually worked hours (according to the time sheet) and months.
How to deal with the case – „seminar too expensive”?
Organizer should provide evidence, that the offer accepted was the right one for the particular seminar:- description of the request for offer, preferably 3 offers received should be provided; specific needs, if exists, should be met. Afterwards documents of evidence – agenda, presentations, lists of participants, photos, etc. Maximum allocated in the Project budget should not be spent obligatory.
Should there be certificate provided for each construction material?
- Depending on the cost per item, if it exceeds 5 000 EUR – certificate must be issued from producer (or national commerce chamber), if the price per item is below 5000 EUR certificate can be provided by supplier.
If a partner is making changes dramatically, are there any sailings for one partner?
Again, each case should be considered separately, but budget line of the Project as a whole should be respected.
Are there changes in Grant Contract necessary, if the address (location) of investments is going to be changed?
Each case is considered by JTS (implications on budget, Project results etc.) and most probably these will be Major Changes.
