C2 - Reporting schedule
Activity reports foreseen: the beneficiary shall report to the Commission about the technical and financial progress of the project. The project's achieved results and possible problems should be highlighted in these reports. The first report is the "Inception Report" (to be delivered within 9 months after the start date), which shall also provide a self-assessment of the viability of the project.
If the project lasts more than 24 months and requests a European Union contribution in excess of € 300.000, and if the beneficiary intends to ask for a second pre-financing payment, a more detailed "Mid-term report with payment request" has to be provided. For projects with a duration exceeding 48 months and a European Union contribution of more than € 2.000.000, the coordinating beneficiary shall provide two mid-term reports, to be delivered, together with the requests for mid-term pre-financing, after the thresholds defined in Article 29.3 of the Common Provisions have been reached. One "Final Report with payment request" shall be submitted, not later than 3 months after the project end date. Additional "Progress reports" should also be foreseen in order to ensure that at least one report is received every 18 months (the reporting schedule may be modified during the revision phase). Please consult the Common Provisions, Article 12 for full details on the reporting obligations of the LIFE+ projects.
