Q. In point 4.6 you mention that the interest generated on pre-financing can be used for covering expenses which are not included in the reported costs, such as the cost of staff of the bodies hosting the JMA. Can you please specify what type of staff costs can be reimbursed?

A. Not all staff costs of the bodies hosting the programme bodies have been reported and financed by the technical assistance budget. Even though the ENPI CBC IR did not allow for co-financing of technical assistance, additional staff has been assigned to the programme and has devoted part of their time to programme management. Programmes may make now an estimation of the cost of this non-previously reported staff. Interest generated on prefinancing and other revenues may cover these costs, which so far have been paid from the ordinary budget of the institution.
