Italy

This section provides information on the system set up for first level control in your country. Any costs associated with this control are indicated so they can be planned for in any project budget.

Italy has opted for a decentralised control system. Before the first expenditure can be reported, the project partners will have to propose an independent internal or external controller to the following body:

Ad hoc Committee
Agenzia per la Coesione Territoriale
Via Sicilia, 162/C – 00187 ROMA

Contact person for Interreg Europe programme

Valeria Covarelli
Regione Umbria
E-mail: vcovarelli@regione.umbria.it

This body will authorise the controller proposed by the project partner after having checked that the controller is sufficiently independent from project activities and finances and qualified to carry out the control of an Interreg Europe project.

The costs resulting from the control can be reported as eligible costs in compliance with the relevant EU-regulations and programme rules.

In compliance with the article 23 (4) of the Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 and article 125 (5) and (6) of the Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013, on-the-spot verifications are done for each project partner at least once during the project lifetime. For first level controllers controlling more than one project partner, sampling may be possible under the condition that the method is well justified and documented.
