Declaration of Honour

A project legal signatory (PLSIGN) must sign a 'Declaration of Honour' on the Funding & Tenders Portal on behalf of each beneficiary before the grant agreement can be signed. The coordinator cannot sign it on behalf of other beneficiaries.

This declaration ensures that all beneficiaries comply with the rules and are not in a situation that would exclude them from receiving EU funding (e.g. bankruptcy).
