Can partners located outside the Programme participating Countries and, in general, outside the Programme area participate in project proposals submitted under these Calls for proposals?
As general rule partners must have a registered office in the IPA Programme area (eligible and derogations). In exceptional cases, partners located outside the Programme area, even outside the participating Countries, may be eligible if the project could only achieve its objectives with that partner’s participation and the activities are carried out for the benefit of the Programme area. The Lead Applicant must clearly demonstrate in the Application Form the relevance of that chosen partner in relation to the aims of the project implementation and the importance of its involvement in the partnership. These Partners located outside the Programme area would be involved as final Beneficiaries to all intents and purposes and thus they should even guarantee that the national cofinancing is .covered by public sources (State of origin or own sources if public). In the Application Form they must be indicated as “Other [art. 97 Reg. (EC) 718/2007]” beneficiaries.
