Changes in the projects

Q: We have savings of 150 EUR in budget line 1. We would like to use this money to cover financial services (mainly costs for international transfers), as it was not foreseen at the beginning. How can we transfer these costs?  

A: If this amount does not exceed 15 % of both lines, it is treated as a minor change. Therefore, ‘Form 2_information for budget changes below 15%’ and ‘Form 4_Budget reallocation calculation table’ should be filled in and together with an updated budget submitted to the JTS.

Q: Does the use of contingency reserve lead to an addendum to the contract? Or is it enough to get a letter from the JMA giving their prior approval? 

A: Use of the contingency reserve always leads to an addendum to the contract.
