Do entities from 3rd countries have to fill in the A2 form?
A participant from a third country needs to fill in the A2 form like all other participants. However, only participants from the EU25 can be the co-ordinator of a consortium. Q: I would like to know if the budget from 3rd party countries should be anyway included by the coordinator in the A3 form (as these countries do not receive Community funds). A: Yes. You should insert the budget for the 3rd countries on form A3 and enter zero in the column for “Requested Community Contribution”. Also, you cannot use their expenses in the calculation of the total investment costs. This latter number should only contain expenses for activities within the eTEN30.
