Where a project involves several different organisations, one must be appointed Coordinator and represent the project in its dealings with the Commission. Under no circumstances can renewal be guaranteed. The Programme will, as far as possible, aim to encourage lasting initiatives. It will, however, where appropriate, lend its support to one-off initiatives such as conferences or seminars that match the eligibility criteria. Promoters of projects in receipt of Community funding are called upon to participate in these exchanges.
Workshops are organised for project leaders.
The activities eligible for co-financing will be selected on the basis of the annual budget provided for the Programme by the budgetary authority. Contractors must adhere strictly to the administrative rules applicable and participate actively in the operation of the Programme as a whole. The Commission attaches the utmost importance to the sound administrative and financial management of projects, which is a major element in ensuring their quality and efficiency. Project leaders' attention is therefore drawn to the need to incorporate appropriate management structures into their activities from the earliest stages and to comply with the procedures below, which will be incorporated into their contracts. Contracts are awarded, that is to say that Community support is granted in return for the completion of a work Programme approved by the Commission and annexed to the contract, subject to compliance with certain management rules integral to the contract and to participation in the coordination arrangements set up by the Commission with a view to encouraging the European dynamic.
