First Level Control Requirements

The Netherlands has chosen a decentralized control system. The project partner (All project partners other than the Lead Partner) will have to propose an independent controller (internal or external), to the following body:

Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment
International Affairs Directorate
Visiting address: Plesmanweg 1-6, 2597 JG  Den Haag, The Netherlands
Mail address: P.O. Box 20951, 2500 EZ  Den Haag, The Netherlands

Contacts:

Mr Xander Storms

Phone: +31-70-4561928
E-mail: xander.storms@minienm.nl

Ms Monique de Beer

Phone: +31-70-4561822
E-mail: monique.debeer@minienm.nl

This body will authorise the controller proposed by the project partner :

  • if the internal management and control system is considered to be reliable.
  • if the controller is considered to be 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 authorized 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.

Local and regional authorities please take note of the following information:

Dutch local and regional authorities are able to reclaim VAT from a Compensation Fund. This has existed since the start of the programming period and even before. VAT does not constitute eligible expenditure unless it is genuinely and definitively borne by the partner. VAT which is recoverable by whatever means cannot be considered as eligible even if it is not actually recovered by the partner.
