First Level Control Requirement

Cyprus has chosen a decentralised control system. The beneficiaries from Cyprus will have to propose, an independent controller (internal or external) to the following body :

Planning bureau
Directorate of Structural Funds and Cohesion Fund (Verifications Unit)
Ms. Despina Stavrou
29 Byronos Avenue
1096 Nicosia
Cyprus

Phone : +357 22602847
Fax: +357 22666810
Email : dstavrou@treasury.gov.cy

This body will authorise the controller proposed by the project partner (All project partners other than the Lead Partner) after having checked that the controller is sufficiently independent from project activities and finances and qualified to carry out the control of an INTERREG IVC project :

The controller has to be officially authorised before the first expenditure can be reported and confirmed.

The costs resulting from the control (staff costs in case of an internal controller, external expertise costs in case of an external controller) can be reported as eligible costs (costs that are in line with the programme requirements and can be approved for co-financing from the ERDF) in compliance with the relevant EU-regulations and programme rules.

Further guidance is provided in Annex.
