This call for proposals relates to the co-financing of "Seminars, comparative studies, measures to disseminate expertise and an annual meeting of the presidents of the associations in connection with the protection of the Communities' financial interests". By co-financing comparative studies and other activities in the field of the protection of the financial interests of the Communities, the Commission hopes to stimulate thought and debate on subjects of particular interest related to its anti fraud strategy.
To be eligible, applications must correspond to the subject-matter of this call for proposals and be submitted by an association as defined in the above-mentioned annual work programme:
- all national or regional administrations of a Member State, an acceding country or a candidate country, as defined in the Decision of 21 April 2004 (Hercule Programme), as modified, and which promote the strengthening of the Community's actions in the field of the protection of the Community's financial interests;
- all research and education institutes that have had legal personality for at least one year and are established and operating in a Member State or in a country outside the Union, as defined in the Decision of 21 April 2004 (Hercule Programme), as modified, and that promote the strengthening of the Community's action in protecting its financial interests;
- all non-profit-making bodies that have had legal personality for at least one year and are legally established in a Member State or a country outside the Union, as defined in the Decision of 21 April 2004 (Hercule programme, cited above), as modified, and that promote the strengthening of Community action to protect the Communities' financial interests.
Such associations must be made up of persons who, by the fact that they exercise a legal profession or have a law degree, can demonstrate their ability to carry out activities of a legal nature which promote the strengthening of the Community's measures to protect its financial interests.
The total amount of assistance granted by OLAF for each project will not exceed:
- €50 000 for a one-day seminar; €100 000 for a two-day seminar;
