Delays in the implementation of amendment applications for ERDF group projects
According to the current assessment of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, it is only possible to submit amendments to group projects in the EURA 2021 system in late autumn, October-November 2024. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment is making every effort to ensure that the timetable is not further delayed.
The managing authority has instructed the intermediate bodies (= funding authorities) on the exceptional procedure for applications for amendments. Under Section 20 of the Administrative Procedure Act, the beneficiary may submit an application for amendment to an intermediate body in a free-form manner, because it has not been possible to do so in accordance with the provisions of the Finance Act by means of the EURA2021 system. A free-form amendment application that accurately identifies the changes can be initiated by submitting it to the registry of the intermediate body before the start of the implementation of the desired amendment and the end of the implementation period in accordance with the current aid decision.
In the case of a free-form amendment application, it is a good idea to contact the financier before initiating the amendment application. The financier will provide more detailed instructions on the measures related to the submission of the amendment application on a project-by-project basis.
