After the official communication by the European Commission of the approval of the project, the Consortium must sign a formal internal agreement to confirm the implementation of the activities, in the manner indicated in the activation request.

Within 90 days, the lead party must sign the grant agreement with the European Commission. If the contract is not signed, the loan obtained lapses.

Within 30 days of signing the contract, a pre - financing deposit is paid to the lead partner, which can vary from 30% to 70%, depending on the duration of the project and the additional clauses signed. However, the contract could also not provide for it, in the event that there are reasons that prevent the granting.

In addition, a guarantee fund is created to the extent of 5% of the loan, which will be recognized at the balance of the project.

In addition to financial information, such as the amount of the direct European non-repayable loan granted and the percentage of the advance, the technical sheets included in the project are also included in the contract.

With the signing of the contract, the members of the Consortium can start the project and present the report of the costs incurred, in the manner and timing defined.

Particular attention must be paid to the realization and reporting of the project, as any modification and cost item could be considered inadmissible, if not indicated in the contract or previously authorized by the European Commission, through formal amendments.

During the implementation of the project, periodic progress reports must be sent, in order to allow verification of the completion of the planned activities.

The European Commission may carry out inspections to verify the correct use of the resources assigned and to ascertain the results achieved.

At the end of the project, a closing report must be sent.
