Indicators  Target values will be achieved if we do what we promised  On a good way in most cases, see printed tables  WP1 = management, reporting, evaluation = OK  WP2  press conferences/releases; posters; a lot of people reached by articles; focus on private sector  WP3  2 pilot actions missing: Greece 3.1; Slovenia LCA  WP4  C&D waste manual  WP5  all outputs; GIS/AIS/IT  Common methodologies, tools etc. – out of outputs

ERDF funding & reporting – where we are:  Progress Report 4 approved, we are waiting for ERDF funds: ,65 EUR reported, ,56 ERDF funds awaited (expected in a month)  Partner Report 5: –5 received: MUL, PELLA, MBFH, FGG, ER –Waiting for: IGME, TUC, PARMA, IGR –Send them for checking asap

Final reporting – period 6  Reporting period 6:  Final deadline for issuing invoices:  Costs must be paid the latest till (otherwise they will not be eligible!)  PPR 6 (final PPR) should be submitted in January 2012  We must receive ALL Declarations on Validation of Expenditure till !!! – responsibility of each partner to submit the final report on time and be in contact with FLC to receive the Declaration(s)  Final Progress Report will be submitted on

Financial overview  Total project budget: €  Reported so far: € = 70 %  Validated: € = 52 %  Received ERDF funds: ,10 € = 33 % (after next payment: 51 %)

Financial achievement of SARMa:

Spending per partners  Each partner will receive personalised information on the level of spending  Be careful of spending per WPs and budget lines  If necessary, inform us about budget changes (maximum limit: 20 % of the partner’s budget)

Archiving for audit purposes (!)  All documentation must be kept till  List of documents to be retained – will be part of minutes

WP1 – TO SUM UP:  Plenty of work is still to be done – keep some energy after the final conference  SPENDING should be increased/continued  also money transfer will follow  All declarations on Validation of Expenditure must be received till ! Thank you for your attention!
