The Annexes
Together with the Grant Contract and the Special Conditions, the Grant Beneficiary will receive a series of annexes stating the rules and conditions of the grant awarded and the Action implementation.
These Annexes are sent to the Grant Beneficiary in paper copy. It is highly recommended to download the electronic version of these documents from the EuropeAid website, grants section at the moment of contract signature to be sure to have the appropriate version of grant documents to be used during implementation of the Action. This is important because while EuropeAid publishes newly updated versions, the Grant Beneficiary must always refer to the one in force at the moment of contract signature.
The annexes include:
- Description of the Action ( annex I): this is a summary of the project proposal, cost of the action and partners' (if any) data and is included in the Grant Contract together with the Special Conditions.
