First Level Control Requirements

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

Région Nord-Pas de Calais
Direction Europe
Service Programmes INTERREG
Hôtel de Région – 151 Avenue du Président Hoover - 59555 LILLE CEDEX

Phone : +33 (0)3 28 82 70 59 or +33 (0)3 28 82 70 78
Fax : + 33 (0)3 28 82 70 55
E-mail : infocpn@nordpasdecalais.fr

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.

Should an external controller be selected, the project partner will have to abide by the public procurement rules. In that case, the MS body will propose a terms of reference (a document providing main guidelines related to a specific call for proposals) model to the project partners to facilitate the tender procedure.

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

Both in the case of a public and private controller, a contract will have to be made between the beneficiary and his controller detailing the cost base for controls. This contract will be based on the template terms of reference provided by the MS Body.

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.
