Q : Does the 1 MEUR threshold apply to the entire project or to individual infrastructures? For example, when a project includes two infrastructure activities, one worth 1.5 MEUR and the second one worth 0,5 MEUR, will the beneficiary be obliged to submit the information/documents mentioned in art. 43.2 of the ENI CBC Implementing Rules for both infrastructure activities or only for the one worth 1.5 MEUR?
A : The 1 MEUR threshold applies to the individual infrastructure components. Therefore, in your example, only the infrastructure worth 1.5 MEUR shall be subject to Art. 43.2. However, it needs to be borne in mind that a project cannot be artificially split in order to escape the requirements.
