ANNEX II

(see Article 9(2))

Eligibility rules applicable to expenditure relating to staff, capital equipment, consumables, shipment of samples for the comparative tests, missions and overheads

1.   Staff

Staff costs (whatever the staff’s status) are limited to actual wage costs (remuneration, wages, social charges and retirement pension costs) for staff specifically allocated entirely or in part to the Community tasks, as set out in the approved work programme.

All staff working time devoted to Community tasks must be recorded and certified on a basis of minimum of 220 days/year. This must be done at least once a month by the appointed project leader or a duly authorised senior member of the beneficiary’s staff.

2.   Subcontracting

Reimbursement is to be based on actual costs incurred during the period in question. The beneficiary must also indicate the percentage of the laboratory’s total subcontracting budget accounted for by the different items.

3.   Capital equipment

Equipment purchased, leased or rented may be charged as a direct cost. The reimbursable amount for leased or rented equipment may not exceed the amount at which the equipment could have been purchased for the duration of the test. Reimbursable costs are to be calculated as follows:

Formula

| A | = | period in months for which the equipment is to be used for the project, from the date of delivery |
| --- | --- | --- |
| B | = | depreciation period of 60 months (36 months in the case of computer equipment costing less than EUR 25 000) |
| C | = | cost of equipment |
| D | = | percentage use of equipment on the project. |

A

=

period in months for which the equipment is to be used for the project, from the date of delivery

B

depreciation period of 60 months (36 months in the case of computer equipment costing less than EUR 25 000)

C

cost of equipment

D

=

percentage use of equipment on the project.

4.   Consumables

Reimbursement is to be based on actual costs incurred during the period in question. The beneficiary must also indicate the percentage of the laboratory’s total consumables budget accounted for by the different items.

All other expenditure on administration, business travel other than missions under point 6 and secretarial services is considered to be covered by ‘overheads’.

5.   Shipment of samples for comparative tests

Reimbursement is to be based on actual costs incurred in shipping samples for comparative tests.

6.   Missions

Travel and subsistence costs incurred by the staff of the laboratories for missions mentioned in the approved work programme are to be reimbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 13(2) of this Regulation.

7.   Overheads

A flat-rate contribution of 7 % of actual reimbursable costs, calculated on the basis of all the direct costs listed above (items 1 to 6), is to be made automatically.
