13. TVA Problem
Up to 2006 no TVA was paid on money spent by IN2P3, originated
from foreign Institutions (as for money originated in France)
In practice on money originated in France TVA was paid directly by
CNRS.
From now on IN2P3 will have to pay TVA on orders using money
originated abroad.
Possible solutions ?
Institutions increase CF contributions !!
Ask for exemption
Ask Stavros for suggestions

15. TVA Problem

16. Signatures of new MoU
a) Agreement by all National Agencies, with exception of INFN (budgetary problems)
b) Urgent for some Institutions to have a valid MoU (risk of loosing money unless valid MoU signed before Summer)
c) Urgent for Bucharest to have new MoU before 2008

17. Signatures of new MoU Possible solutions proposed by IB
1) Ask all Agencies to sign MoU and wait for INFN decision
Ask Agencies to sign, for the time being, a one-page document simply extending old MoU for 2007.
Solution 2) simply delays the problem by ~ 6 months.
Solutions 1) and 2) could proceed in parallel ??

Severe budget limitations within INFN  need to reduce by large
amount number of “authors”
Problems in reaching an agreement on names arisen on Monday.
Need some more time to clear issue
Moreover
Additional problem related to uncertain INFN budget situation
New proposal :
Modify Annex 8 as follows:
