Control system
This section provides information on the system set up for control in Germany for 2021-2027.
Germany uses a decentralised control system.
The approbation body will approve an independent, qualified controller based on a proposal made by the project partner.
The costs resulting from the control are borne by the project partners and can be reported as eligible costs in compliance with the relevant EU regulations and programme rules. These costs should therefore be planned in the project budget.
For projects with a pilot action including infrastructure and/or equipment costs, a compulsory on-the-spot check has to be carried out. The check should be carried out once the relevant costs incurred. A proper timing has to be ensured by the designated controller.
In addition and for all other projects also, on-the-spot-checks can be carried out if the designated controller deems that is has an added value.
On-the-spot-checks may be performed remotely in justified cases.
Check out the list of approbation bodies below.
Check out the 'manual' on how to benefit from the Interreg Europe Policy Learning Platform services, prepared by Hessen.
