General instructions 1. Overview The Interim Report for the project comprises the following parts: Part 1 Confirmation of the basic data on the project and the partnership held in the database of the Office. Part 2 A description of the project activities, products and results during the reporting period and schedule for the

remaining period. Part 3 The budget situation and financial plan for the remaining period. Annexes Codes to be used A single interim report is required for agreements having an eligibility period of two or three years. No interim reports are required for projects of a 1 year period. 2. General guidance • You should carefully read the Administrative and Financial Handbook (annexed to the Financial Agreement; later referred as

the Handbook) before filling in the reporting forms. • The Interim Report is submitted by the Beneficiary on behalf of all the organisations participating in the project. The

declaration on the following page confirms that a process of consultation and approval has been carried out throughout the partnership. It is therefore important that the required information should be collected in good time before the deadline for submission of the Interim Report.

• The Report must be submitted in one of the eleven official languages of the European Union (see annex 1). • Three copies of the Report must be sent no later (as per postmark) than by the deadline specified in the agreement to:

SOCRATES, LEONARDO and YOUTH Technical Assistance Office (TAO) Transnational Cooperation Project (TCP) Department

Rue de Trèves 59-61 B-1040 Bruxelles

• You have to attach to your Report, one copy of products and results finalised during the reporting period. If you refer to

web sites, passwords should be given for all private areas. • Each page of the Report and copies of products and results have to bear the Financial Agreement number. • You are strongly advised to send your Reports by registered post to ensure a record of postage. Additionally, you are

advised to keep a copy of the full report, including any annexes. • Please note that a late submission of the Report may result in penalties or even cancellation of the Financial

Agreement, in accordance with the general conditions of the Agreement. As stipulated in the Handbook the deadline for the interim report(s) cannot be altered.

3. Notice • The approval of the Interim Report by the Commission is without prejudice to the Commission's right to suspend the

activities of a project, terminate an agreement or take any other appropriate step should subsequent verifications reveal problems or significant divergences from the work plan, the financial plan or the conditions of the agreement as approved.

• The financial part of this report is intended for information purposes only, to assist the overall monitoring of the project.

Therefore, the approval of the Interim Report and payment of the relevant instalment of the grant, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, should under no circumstances be considered as indicating that the Commission has accepted the declared expenditure. Detailed examination of the budget to identify the eligible expenditure and amount of the final grant will be carried out only at the final report stage.

• Please note that in case of any major changes to the partnership, work plan or products and results, a formal request of

amendment must be submitted (see Handbook, section II). • The Commission reserves the right to modify this annex if necessary. Any such change will be notified to Beneficiaries in

writing.
