Európai Visszatérési Alap 2011

Az Európai Bizottság megjelentette az Európai Visszatérési Alap 2011-es pályázati felhívását. A pályázatok beadási határideje: 2012. április 27. 14.00 C.E.T.

Priorities and eligible actions:

• Category 1 Ensuring sustainability for vulnerable or disadvantaged people after the return
• Category 2 Monitoring of joint forced return operations
• Category 3 Safe and sustainable return of minors

DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES: For each of the categories of actions, the amount of grant per project will not exceed 90% of the total eligible costs.

This call for proposals is addressed to:

• public authorities from the 26 Member States participating in the Fund1;
• International Organisations, EU Agencies, private bodies and Non-Governmental

Organisations registered in the 26 Member States mentioned above, provided that they all work on a strictly non-profit basis and have proven experience and expertise in the fields covered.

Proposals must be submitted by an entity from one Member State together with at least one partner entity from a different Member State.

Attention has to be paid to ensure optimal synergy with programmes carried out at the EU and national level by the EU Agencies, the Member States and international organisations. This will require effective information sharing about the activities so that the necessary contacts and connections can be made.

In case of co-funding of an activity by both the national programme(s) and the Community actions, a clear division has to be established in order to avoid doublefunding.

Under no circumstances can a project be financed by both national programmes and Community actions.

PAYMENT CONDITIONS

The grant shall normally be paid under the following conditions:

• Pre-financing, representing 75% of the amount of the grant awarded upon signature of the grant agreement by the last of the parties;
• The balance upon receipt and approval by the Commission of the final technical and financial implementation reports, together with a request for payment, accompanied by an external audit certificate
