See below the contact person and details about the project control systems in Brussels region in 2021-2027.

The Brussels-Capital Region uses a centralised control system.

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.

The control costs will be charged at the rate of 2.5 % of the controlled amount. The invoices will be sent 2 months after each certification request via e-mail.

At least one on-the-spot check will be carried out for partners reporting equipment and/or infrastructure & works costs related to a pilot action during the lifetime of their project.

See below the contact person and details about the project control systems in Flanders region in 2021-2027.

The Flemish region uses a decentralised control system. A list of nominated controllers is established at national level. From this list the project partners will be able to see which controller they can refer to.

The control costs must be borne by the project partner, and can be reported as eligible costs within the project under budget line "External expertise and service costs". These costs should therefore be planned in the project budget.

The type of control to be performed may vary(full or extended control, on the spot control, only sampling...), potentially even within one and the same project for one and the same beneficiary based on controllers’ professional judgement.

For more information, Flemish partners are invited to contact their approbation body.

See below the contact person and details about the project control systems in Wallonia region in 2021-2027.

The Wallonia region uses a centralised control system.

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.

At least one "on-the-spot check" will be carried out during the project lifetime in projects where partners report equipment and/ or infrastructure & works costs related to a pilot action.
