The estimated expenditure figures provided are only indicative and are based in some instances on the allocations made to beneficiaries for activities in the relevant years.
As advised in my earlier response, preparations are underway for the submission of a first payment application to the commission in Quarter 3 2018. This payment application will be based on simplified cost models, such as flat-rate financing and unit cost models. It is only when the expenditure declarations have been submitted and examined by the ESF authorities that it will be possible to ascertain the actual amounts of ESF eligible expenditure.
